1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to communicate the Headquarters Air Force Safety Center, Space Safety (HQ AFSEC/SES), objectives for providing advisory and assistance services with regard to the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Space Safety mission and initiative.

2. BACKGROUND

2.1 Air Force Safety Center, Kirtland AFB, NM

The Air Force (AF) Safety Center at Kirtland AFB, NM, is responsible to the Department of the Air Force Chief of Safety (AF/SE) to preserve combat power by anticipating, reducing, and preventing mishaps. AFSEC/SE develops, executes, and evaluates aviation, occupational, weapons, and space mishap prevention along with nuclear surety programs and policy for the Air and Space Forces. The Safety Center oversees mishap investigations, evaluates, and ensures corrective actions are applied, and maintains the Department of the Air Force-wide mishap database. The Safety Center also promotes safety awareness and mishap prevention through education and media programs.

2.2 Air Force Safety Center, Space Safety

The AFSEC/SES’s mission is to provide risk-informed decision-making fundament to maximize the US space-combat-advantage. AFSEC/SES develops, executes, and evaluates Air Force space mishap prevention programs and execute Interagency Nuclear Safety Review Board (INSRB) responsibilities on behalf of the Department of Defense.

AFSEC/SES oversees mishap investigations, conducts evaluations, and ensures application of corrective actions and mishap inclusion in the Air Force Safety Automated System (AFSAS). The division promotes safety awareness and mishap prevention with Department of Defense (DoD), civil, commercial, academic, and international partners, the Space Safety Council (SSC), and media programs. The AFSEC/SES division consists of three branches with the following missions.

2.2.1 Innovation and Development: The Innovation and Development Branch’s mission is to promote Space Safety enculturation for all space professionals. It ensures units understand requirements for Space Safety, mishap prevention, and mission effectiveness guidance for all DAF Space Systems. The branch oversees updates to Space Safety guidance, conducts evaluations, and ensures application of corrective actions and mishap inclusion to AFSAS. The branch also supports the SSC, and with our partners address current issues, areas for improvement, and continuing collaboration efforts.

2.2.2 Engineering: The Engineering Branch’s mission is to preserve combat space-power to affect mission accomplishment via appropriate systems safety approaches and risk management. The branch develops, executes, and evaluates DAF Space Systems Safety programs in cooperation with the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition) (SAF/AQ), Assistant Secretary of the Space Force (Acquisition) (SAF/SQ), the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD/A&S), Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD/R&E), and joint partners. It oversees mishap investigations, conducts evaluations, and ensures application of corrective actions and mishap inclusion to the Air Force Safety Automated System (AFSAS). The branch also promotes safety awareness and mishap prevention in cooperation with the SSC, AFMC, SAF/AQ, SAF/SQ. OUSD/A&S, OUSD/A&S, and other partners.

2.2.3 Operations: The Operations (Ops) Branch’s mission is to safeguard operational capability via mishap prevention. This branch observes and participates space mishap investigations. They also foresee and provide the space professionals with tools necessary to execute the mission safely. This branch develops, reviews, and updates DAF Space Safety policies, guidance, and programs. They also advocate for Space Safety standards of practice with DoD, civil, commercial, academic, and international partners.

2.3 Interagency Nuclear Safety Review Board (INSRB) Program

The INSRB program provides space nuclear mission risk evaluations to the President of the United States (POTUS). In the early 1960s, President Kennedy established criteria requiring an “Interagency Nuclear Safety Review Panel” to provide the POTUS with a risk assessment for launches containing threshold amounts of radioisotope materials to aid in their launch go/no go decision. Air Force Safety executed this service for every mission since then on behalf of the Department of Defense. Today, AFSEC/SES executes this responsibility in coordination with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The Air Force INSRB program synchronizes work with the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. AFSEC/SES has primary responsibility for the Launch Abort Working Group (Space Launch Delta 45) and Space Nuclear Systems Working Group (Sandia National Laboratories), and provides applicable Safety Evaluation Reports to the POTUS via OSD and the White House Staff Office of Science and Technology Policy.

6.1 Quality Control Plan

The Contractor shall develop and maintain a quality control program acceptable to the Government covering the services under this contract within 30 days after contract award.

Complete records of all inspection work performed by the Contractor shall be maintained and made available to the Government during contract performance and for as long afterwards as the contract requires. The contractor shall utilize its own internal quality control processes in the performance of this contract. In order to supplement the contractor’s quality control program, Government personnel will verify contractor compliance with performance requirements.

6.2 Quality Assurance

The Government will continuously monitor and evaluate the contractor's performance through intermittent inspections of the contractor's quality control program, contract surveillance and receipt of validated complaints from contract customers. The Government will record all routine surveillance observations using the Performance Assessment Report (PAR). When an observation indicates defective performance, the Government will require the Contract Manager to initial the observations indicating acknowledgement of the deficiencies noted. The initialing of the observation does not necessarily constitute contractor concurrence with the observation, only acknowledgement that the contractor has been made aware of the defective performance. When deficiencies are recorded by the Government, the contractor shall enter the cause, corrective action taken (or to be taken) to correct the deficiency and preventive measures to prevent recurrence of the deficiency.

Failure to maintain any contract standards on a repeated basis will result in the issuance of a Corrective Action Report (CAR) by the CO formally requesting the contractor provide the specific reason for not attaining the identified standard. The contractor corrective actions shall not task the Government in any way and shall not be used as a basis to justify future non-compliance with the standards/requirements.
