About this file
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines comprehensive C-208B EX G1000 recurrent pilot and maintenance training for the 621st Air Mobility Advisory Group (AMAG) within Air Mobility Command. The contract requires a contractor to provide training for pilots and maintenance personnel, covering mission profiles including general flight operations, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), airdrop, and casualty evacuation operations. Training will be conducted at contractor facilities in the contiguous United States, with a base one-year period of performance and potential for four additional one-year option periods.
Key training requirements include delivering up to 420 flight hours annually, training 1-4 pilots per iteration, and conducting maintenance training for 1-5 students per iteration. The contractor must provide specialized aircraft with Garmin 1000 avionics, airdrop equipment, and ISR capabilities. Instructor qualifications are stringent, requiring commercial pilot certificates, extensive flight experience, and specific endorsements. Performance will be monitored monthly by a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), with specific performance thresholds for flight hours, training completion, equipment readiness, and instructor qualifications. The training aims to maintain operational currency and proficiency for AMAG pilots and maintenance personnel supporting global aviation advising missions.

SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Background. This training is essential to maintain the proficiency and currency required for pilots and maintainers assigned to the 621st Air Mobility Advisory Group (AMAG). AMAG conducts aviation advising missions worldwide in support of U.S. Air Force security cooperation and partnership capacity building. DoD training venues do not have existing capacity to support the additional requirement of C-208B EX G1000 Mission Pilot and maintenance, in the Airland/Airdrop/ISR/NVG mission sets. To meet these requirements, AMAG Pilots and Maintainers must remain current and qualified to safely train partner nation forces..
1.2 Scope of Work. This contract is a non-personal services contract as defined by FAR Subpart 37.101. None of the functions to be performed are inherently governmental, in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 7.503. The contractor shall provide currency or continued training for C-208B EX G1000 Air Force pilots and maintenance personnel assigned to the 621 AMAG. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, non-personal services, labor and other items necessary to provide comprehensive C-208B EX G1000 recurring flight and maintenance training for Air Force pilots and maintenance personnel assigned to the 621st Air Mobility Advisory Group (AMAG). The contractor shall ensure all training meets or exceeds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards, Air Mobility Command requirements, including AMCMAN 11-2AAv1 training tables and the Ready Aircrew Program (RAP) Tasking Memo (RTM).
1.3 Period of Performance. The period of performance for the required services shall be one base year. The Government reserves the right to exercise up to four (4) additional one-year option periods, subject to availability of funds and satisfactory contractor performance. Each option period, if exercised, shall be for a twelve (12) month period.
1.4 Place of Performance. Training will be provided at contractor facilities within the Contiguous United States. The contractor shall provide suitable training facilities that include classroom space for academic instruction, hangar facilities for hands-on maintenance training, aircraft parking and servicing areas, and access to appropriate airspace and landing facilities for flight training operations. All facilities must meet applicable safety, security, and environmental standards. Maintenance training must be conducted at an FAA-certified Part 147 maintenance training facility.

Training for each pilot will be conducted in weekly blocks with a minimum of 12 flying hours per week, exclusive of weather or maintenance delays. Additional currency might be requested to align with mission recurrency needs. If scheduled training is cancelled due to weather, maintenance, or other factors beyond Government control, the contractor shall reschedule make-up training IAW Section 2.1.3 of this PWS. Comment by THEYN, DANIEL J CIV USAF AMC 87 CONS/PKB: Do these hour requirements apply to each pilot or to all of them? What happens if one gets more training than another? Comment by SAMATOV, ABROR B Maj USAF AMC 571 MSAS/ADO: reworded Comment by THEYN, DANIEL J CIV USAF AMC 87 CONS/PKB: Additionally, the Service Summary Table below claims a minimum of 60 flight hours must be delivered per quarter. Which is it? Comment by VARGAS, CHRISTINA V CIV USAF AMC 87 CONS/PKB: Also doesn’t add up to the following sentence of “minimum 12 flying hours per week” Comment by SAMATOV, ABROR B Maj USAF AMC 571 MSAS/ADO: It is referring to the training week, if/when scheduled.
