1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1. General Scope. The objective of this program is to provide test pilot training (not initial or recurring training) in a HU-16 Albatross for approximately 50 US Air Force (USAF) Test Pilot School (TPS) students and staff members through 2-4 deployments per year. Additional aircrew or passengers (such as photographers) may be added at the discretion of the TPS Program Manager (PM), with concurrence of the contractor. The contractor shall perform all requirements; obtain all permits and licenses in accordance to all applicable federal, state, and local guidelines. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein.

Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1.1. Description of Services/Introduction. The Contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform flight and instruction as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. This includes the planning, coordination, and surveillance of the activities necessary to ensure disciplined work performance and timely resources application to accomplish all tasking under the contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining communication with the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Project Manager (PM) and to immediately notify both the CO and the PM of any problems that would prevent timely performance of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for and required to implement, and maintain management control systems necessary to plan, organize, direct, and control all activities under this contract.

1.2. Background. The USAF TPS is where the Air Force's top pilots, navigators, and engineers learn how to conduct flight tests and generate the data needed to carry out test missions. TMPs teach the students the process of testing aircraft and aircraft systems. The Qualitative Evaluation program introduces students to a wide variety of aircraft exhibiting unique flying characteristics or mission systems and is used to broaden the students’ range of experience with unfamiliar aircraft. An aircraft is sought to provide the unique experience of flying a historic, multi-engine, water-landing capable aircraft.

1.3. Objectives.

1.3.1. Primary objective. Provide TPS students and staff with experience operating the HU-16 in practical examinations (PEs), qualitative evaluations (QEs) sorties.

1.3.2. Secondary objectives.

1.3.2.1. Use the HU-16 in a chase or target aircraft role in support of the TPS syllabus sorties in the T-38, F-16, C-12, or Learjet 25.

1.3.2.2. Use the HU-16 in support of future TPS Test Management Projects (TMPs).

1.4. Scope.

1.4.1. Primary flight events. There are two primary types of flight events: practical examinations (PEs), qualitative evaluations (QEs). PE deployments will be conducted at Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) and typically occur in April and October to align with the TPS syllabus. Depending on the composition of the TPS class, there will usually be 10-15 PE flights per deployment (1 per day), leading to deployment durations of 2.5-3.5 weeks. Local QE flights may be flown in conjunction with PE deployments at the discretion of the PM. QE deployments are more flexible, and can occur at any time during the year and in locations other than EAFB. There will usually be 4-8 QE flights per deployment (1-3 per day), so deployment durations are expected to be 1 week, but may be longer.

The Program Manager (PM) will determine specific dates and locations for all deployments. The actual size of the groups may vary and will typically be a mix of pilots and non-pilots with various backgrounds.

For PE flights, the expected sortie duration will be 1.8-2.2 hours, or about 20-30 hours total per PE deployment. For QE flights, the profile is more flexible and may be as long as 6 hours, for a total of about 20-30 hours per QE deployment.

The Contractor shall instruct the students/staff in the typical operation of the vehicle to aid TPS staff and students in the development of the skills necessary to safely fly the aircraft within the limits as defined by the USAF TPS Qualitative Evaluation Review Board (QRB) package. The Contractor will also supervise and instruct TPS staff and students proper ground operations of the aircraft. This document will be provided to the contractor prior to the deployment to Edwards AFB. Staff/students may carry-on hand held instrumentation systems that are approved by the TPS point of contact (POC) and coordinated with the contractor. Special instrumentation equipment may need to be secured to the aircraft during flights.

Missions will not exceed the capabilities of the aircraft.

1.4.2. Secondary Flight Events.

1.4.2.1. The TPS syllabus support. The TPS syllabus has a variety of different sorties in the core aircraft of consisting of the T-38, F-16, C-12, and Learjet 25. These sorties often require another aircraft to be a target or a chase asset. It is possible an HU-16 could be used in these roles. The HU-16 may or may not be occupied by TPS students and staff while supporting the TPS syllabus sorties.

1.4.2.2. Test Management Projects (TMP) support. TMPs are team-based training events that are ongoing through the last seven months of the TPS curriculum. During the first semester, the students are divided into teams and each team is given a real-world flight test to complete. Over several months, under the supervision of the TPS faculty, the students complete thorough test and safety planning. Then, a few months into the second semester (early March for the spring group and early September for the fall group), the students have a two- or three-week fly window in which to execute their test. Over the last few months of the program, the student team analyzes the results and writes a very thorough report which will is published and delivered to the real-world customer. Typically, TMPs will be conducted using one of the core military aircraft at TPS, but a contract aircraft may be used if suitable. TMPs can be any real-world test, and although they often include testing developmental sensors, datalinks, weapons, or software modifications on military aircraft, they could also focus on other types of testing with civil aircraft. The HU-16 could be used as an aircraft to participate in a TMP. The HU-16 may or may not be occupied by TPS students and staff while supporting TMPs.

1.4.3. Aircraft crew positions and capacity: The aircraft shall have a minimum crew of 5 with an optional 6th crew member for observations and training. The crew member positions are as follows:

1.4.3.1. Safety Pilot: monitors, with ability to actuate controls as requested or intervene as required. The contractor instructor pilot will occupy this position, which will generally be at the copilot’s seat.

1.4.3.2. TPS Student Test Pilot: flies all phases of the flight. This will generally be at the primary pilot’s seat.

1.4.3.3. TPS Flight Test Engineer: acts as test conductor, with the ability to monitor flight instruments and flight conditions.

1.4.3.4. Staff Evaluator Test Pilot: Monitors the performance of the student test pilot.

1.4.3.5. Staff Evaluator Flight Test Engineer: Monitors the performance of the student flight test engineer.

1.4.3.6. Staff Observer (optional): Position used to observe mission for staff training purposes.

1.4.4. Aircraft Communication/Navigation: Equipment shall include a transponder with mode 3/A and mode C capability, as well as a VHF and/or UHF aviation band radio. The aircraft must have an intercom system that allows all crew (including TPS staff and students) to verbally communicate. Aircraft may include non-production-representative video systems to assist in recording of instruments or flight conditions. The student flight test engineer shall have the ability to monitor cockpit instruments real-time through either visual inspection while sitting in the cockpit or through a video repeater system (such as mounted camera with screen). Staff/students may carry-on hand held instrumentation systems that are approved by the TPS PM and coordinated with the contractor. The contractor shall have the right to refuse any carry on equipment if it causes safety of flight concerns.

1.4.5. Aircraft controls and instrumentation: Aircraft should be equipped with analog gauges, dials and displays for the primary flight displays and engine/flight condition control/performance instrumentation.

Retrofitted modern instrumentation (glass cockpit) is acceptable, but not desired. Modern displays and controls are acceptable on communications/transponder equipment or any video recording equipment if installed.

1.4.6. Aircraft exterior markings and insignia: The aircraft may feature historically representative exterior markings and nose/tail art. If it does, the Contractor shall provide photos (via email, post, or other suitable means) of such markings to the PM prior to the aircraft’s ferry to Edwards AFB. At the PM’s discretion, the PM may require the Contractor to adjust, cover, or modify exterior markings prior to the aircraft’s arrival at Edwards AFB. Any such modifications may be temporary in nature and the desired means of modification (paint, decal, etc.) is at the Contractor’s option and expense. Any means may be used, so long as they do not affect airworthiness, safety of flight, or environmental concerns.

1.5. Inherently Governmental Function. The Contractor shall not perform Inherently Governmental Functions as defined in FAR Subpart 7.5 in relationship to this PWS.

1.6. Period of Performance. Base Period: 1 February 2019 – 31 January 2024.

1.7. Place of Performance. The Contractor shall perform the services in the PWS at Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), CA and the surrounding area. The QE sorties may be conducted within a 300 NM ring of EAFB.

1.8. Specific Tasks.

1.8.1. Pre-deployment. The aircraft must have an Air Force Test Center (AFTC) approved Subject Mater Expert (SME) inspection that was completed within the last 24 months. All discrepancies noted in this inspection must be fixed and documented at the time of proposal submission. The Contractor will provide USAF TPS, no later than 14 days prior to first performance, the following:

1.8.1.1. A copy of all briefing material used for curriculum support and likewise submit any changes in briefing materials to the PM for approval. The Contractor shall include with briefing material a list of any required audio/visual equipment.

1.8.2. Scheduling. Sorties will be scheduled on all approved TPS fly days until the desired number of sorties are completed. There will usually be two deployment windows per calendar year: one in the spring, one in the fall.

1.8.2.1. Event scheduling. The PM will give the contractor at least 10 work days of notice prior to a scheduled TPS event (sortie or academic session) requiring the contractor’s services. Until the end of the fifth work day (nominally, 5pm Pacific time) prior to a scheduled work day that contractor services may be required, either party may renegotiate that day without fault. Any changes to the schedule (to include additions, deletions, or changes to events requiring contractor services) less than five work days into the future require the agreement of both parties. If a requested change within that timeframe cannot be agreed upon by both parties, then the party responsible for initiating the change will be considered at fault. If the Government is at fault, the Contractor will be credited for one pilot day for any cancelled day that the contractor was otherwise scheduled to accommodate. If the Contractor is at fault, no reimbursement will be provided.

1.8.2.2. Daily scheduling and flight approval. The take-off times will be scheduled the week prior to execution by the USAF TPS scheduling office. The names of the TPS students and staff will be identified by the scheduling office not later than (NLT) close of business (COB) the day prior to execution. Prior to the COB the day prior, the next day’s flights will be authorized by individuals identified by the USAF TPS Director of Operations. This authorization satisfies the requirement to have all flight approved by the Government Flight Representative.

1.10.6 APPENDIX 2. DCMA 8210-1C FOP/GOP Package

1.11. Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).

1.11.1. CLIN 1 (Pilot Days): In order to receive credit for pilot days, the contractor shall provide at least one qualified instructor pilot (IP) with the ability to instruct students on aircraft-specific systems.

Contractor IPs will ensure that they are on time for all scheduled events. One pilot day will be accrued for any day in which a contractor IP is scheduled for a TPS flight event or academic training session, and the contractor pilot is on time and ready to complete the event. If a scheduled flight is cancelled by the USAF after the contractor has already arrived for work (example, a weather cancellation), and the contractor was otherwise ready, then a pilot day will still be credited. If the aircraft is used for a non-TPS flight event, such as a post-maintenance check flight, the contractor will not accrue a pilot day for that flight unless a TPS event was also scheduled and accomplished on the same day.

1.11.2. CLIN 2 (Maintenance Days): The contractor shall provide qualified maintenance personnel with the ability to service and maintain the aircraft as well as complete basic repairs. These personnel will be present at the aircraft operating location and will ensure the aircraft is ready on time for all scheduled events. One maintenance day will be accrued for any day that the aircraft is scheduled for a TPS flight event that is supported by contract maintenance personnel, and the contractor is ready to complete the event. If a scheduled flight is cancelled by the USAF after the aircraft has already been declared ready for that event (example, a weather cancellation), then a maintenance day will still be credited. No maintenance days will be accrued for non-TPS flight events or for days that the aircraft is unable to fly due to maintenance issues. If qualified, the contractor IP may provide both pilot and maintenance support, but will only be credited for a pilot day in that case, not both a pilot and a maintenance day.

1.11.3. CLIN 3 (Flight Hours): For PE flights, the expected sortie duration will be 1.8-2.2 hours, or about 20-30 hours total per PE deployment. For QE flights, the profile is more flexible and may be as long as 6 hours, for a total of about 20-30 hours per QE deployment. Sortie completion determination will be the responsibility of the in-flight TPS government representative. If a sortie does not meet the training of the objectives due to an aircraft failure or non-performance of the contractor IPs, then the hours for that flight will not be accrued towards the total contract. If a sortie does not meet objectives because it returned early due to a weather recall initiated by the USAF, then any hours completed will be accrued. Flight hours will be calculated in accordance with USAF regulations (takeoff to landing, plus 5 minutes) as entered into COOL post flight, and will be billed in increments of 0.1 hour. If water landings are performed on QE flights and the engine is shut down on the water, hours will be calculated from takeoff to final water landing plus 5 minutes. A separate takeoff to land time plus 5 minutes will be calculated for the return flight to Edwards, or the aircraft’s next landing location.

1.11.4. CLIN 4 (Ferry): The contractor will ensure the aircraft is on station and ready for all flight events.

One ferry flight round-trip from the aircraft home station to the operating location is expected per deployment, but if scheduling restraints require additional ferry flights, these may be coordinated through the PM. The aircraft is expected to remain at the operating location overnight and on the weekends for the entire time of the deployment, and will not be taken off-station without prior coordination with the PM. Any aircraft relocation that does not support the TPS mission will not accrue an additional ferry flight (such as taking the aircraft to an airshow over a weekend). All personnel travel is at the contractor’s expense. Ferrying the aircraft on or off station does not result in a Pilot or Maintenance Day unless another scheduled TPS event was accomplished on the same day. QE flights that include a water landing and engine shutdown will not count as a Ferry flight to the water location or back to Edwards, or other aircraft operating location.

1.11.5. CLIN 5 (Standby Days): For any days that the aircraft and contractor personnel are on station between the first scheduled flight and the last scheduled flight of a deployment but are not scheduled for any TPS events, a standby day will be accrued. Examples of this include weekends and Federal holidays when flying is not scheduled. Standby days will not be accrued outside of the first and last scheduled TPS flight dates. For example, if the aircraft is taken to the operating location on a Friday, but the first scheduled TPS flight is the following Monday, then Saturday and Sunday are not standby days. Also, standby days are not accrued if the contractor is unable to perform (aircraft down for maintenance or contractor IP not able to fly).

1.11.6. CLIN 6 (Fuel): For all operations at EAFB, fuel will be provided by TPS. For operations at other locations, fuel will be reimbursed at the end of the contract period. The contractor will provide receipts for all fuel purchased in support of the contract. The fuel required for the ferry flight from the aircraft’s home station to the operating location will not be provided or reimbursed, but a full load of fuel will be provided (if departing EAFB) or reimbursed (if departing another operating location) for the departure ferry flight. The fuel costs associated with any non-TPS flight events conducted at locations other than EAFB will not be reimbursed, but fuel will be provided for all flight activities at EAFB. All non-TPS flight events (such as post-maintenance check flights) must be approved by the PM. The government will supply oil for one 25-hour oil change per deployment. All other expendables (hydraulic fluid, etc.)

will not be provided by the government, except as required by law or regulation.

1.12. Inflight Emergencies: Any in-flight emergency shall be immediately reported to the controlling agency. After the flight, the contractor IP will fill out an unusual occurrence log and submit it to the TPS Director of Operations (DO) and the GFR.

1.13. Mishap Responsibilities: Operations in this Performance Work Statement will be conducted under Public Aircraft Operations (PAO) per AFPD 62-6, AFI 62-601_AFMCSUP, and AFTCI62-602. In accordance with AFTC/CZ Memo for Record, a Military Flight Release (MFR) will be issued. While in this status, primary investigative authority will be the US Air Force, IAW AFI 91-204.

1.13.1. Scope of PAO. Under normal conditions, assuming the MFR has been issued, PAO status will begin and end at the ferry flights for each deployment as follows below.

1.13.1.1. Start of PAO Status: When the aircraft begins to move under its own power for purposes of taxi and/or takeoff, at the last airport of departure prior to arrival at Edwards AFB (or other designated operating location).

1.13.1.2. Termination of PAO Status: When the aircraft stops moving under its own power for purposes of shutdown or refueling, following a landing, at the first airport of arrival after departing Edwards AFB (or other designated operating location).

1.13.1.3. All operations between the start and termination that are in support of contract performance (including, for example, maintenance check flights) are under PAO.

1.13.1.4. Exception: If, during a particular deployment, the Contractor chooses to operate the aircraft for purposes other than performance of this contract (for example, taking the aircraft to an airshow during a standby day) than any operations in support of that purpose will not be under PAO.

1.14. Incident Disclosure: The contractor shall report to the GFR any incidents, accidents, or FAA investigations incurred within 3 years of the scheduled deployment dates. Pilots found either partially or completely at fault in any aircraft incident or accident may, at the discretion of the GFR, be determined unsafe and therefore disqualified to perform in any capacity of this contract.

2. SERVICE SUMMARY

2.1. General. The Contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. Unless indicated elsewhere these performance objectives will be measured monthly. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimum acceptable levels of service required for each requirement. These thresholds are critical to mission success.

2.2. Performance Evaluation. Performance of a service shall be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the performance requirements of this contract re-performance of unacceptable services at no additional cost is the preferred course of action when appropriate. In the case of issued Corrective Action Reports (CARs), the CO shall take appropriate measures according to the “Inspection of Services” clause.
