1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This Performance Work Statement (PWS) shall provide for long-term cradle to grave management of services in support of the AF privatized programs to include but not limited to: Housing, Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) and Utilities Privatization (UP) and may include Value Based Transaction (VBT). This includes Asset, Acquisition and Portfolio Management services in support of Housing, EUL and UP throughout the United States. HEU Management stands for housing, enhanced use lease, and utilities privatization management. HEU Management is the follow-on requirement to Post Closing Management (PCM).
1.2 The purpose of this PWS is to outline the basic requirements of this contract. The contract services will be obtained through the issuance of individual Task Orders (TO). Individual TOs will contain scope and pricing for specific requirements. All TO’s will be Firm Fixed Priced for a period of performance not to exceed 12 months per TO. Payments shall be made in 12 monthly installments totaling the total cost of the work to be performed for the 12 months.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 The Installations Directorate is part of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), a 1,900-person primary subordinate unit, assigned to Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and attached to the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC). The directorate provides enterprise-wide housing solutions, and conducts the strategic acquisition, management, and disposal of AF real property. It executes the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the AF for Installations' land and facilities policies through a full suite of services, including appraisals, lease renewals, licenses, easements, title opinions, environmental cleanup and transfer of property impacted by Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) legislation, and other support services. AFCEC/CI is comprised of five (5) mission capabilities: BRAC program management, real estate development, real property management, post-closing portfolio management and housing privatization portfolio management. This scope will only pertain to Housing, EUL and UP Programs. These services shall not include inherently governmental functions as defined in Office of Federal Procurement Policy Letter -11-01, Inherently Governmental Functions" and FAR Subpart 7.5, Inherently Governmental Functions."
2.2 Congress enacted the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) in the 1996 National Defense Authorization Act (see 10 United States Code §§ 2871-2885, as amended). This law allows the military services to address their housing needs by utilizing private sector resources to finance and construct housing units consistent with current market standards. The law and other statutory authorities authorizes direct loans and loan guarantees, government investments (i.e., limited partnership interest, the purchase of stock or other equity instruments and/or the purchase of bonds or other debt instruments), conveyance or leasing of existing property and facilities, and the building of new housing and facilities to local commercially acceptable standards and codes. The MHPI’s goal is to provide military members and their families with quality, affordable housing in a manner that is cost-effective and expeditiously replaces the Department of Defense’s (DoD) aging inventory of housing units. The goal for each project will be realized with the successful closure of a non-Federal Acquisition Regulation (non-FAR) real estate transactions that meets AF objectives.
2.3 In other legislation, Congress has authorized the Secretary of the Air Force (SAF) to lease AF property to a lessee should it be deemed advantageous to the country, in support of national defense, or be in the public interest.
(See 10 U.S.C. § 2667, “Leases: Non-Excess Property of Military Departments and Defense Agencies”). Other relevant legislation for Real Property Transactions include: 10 USC § 2668, “Easements for rights-of-way”, 10 USC § 2869, “Exchange of Property at Military Installations”, BRAC, and other special Legislation dealing with Real Estate).
2.4 Under 10 U.S. Code § 2688 – Utility systems: conveyance authority, the conveyance may consist of all right, title, and interest of the United States in the utility system or such lesser estate as the Secretary considers appropriate to serve the interests of the United States. Unlike EUL and Housing, UP transactions are FAR based contracts that support the AF in its privatization requirements.
