Performance Work Statement (PWS) Naval Special Warfare Command Off-Road Driving

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 This Off-Road Driving course requires the capability to conduct operations in varying environmental and terrain conditions to ensure the continued success of this command and safety of our personnel. This course will address the specific techniques called upon when conducting mobility operations in various technical terrains. The broad scope of terrain encountered during operations requires advanced training and education for personnel in order to safely and efficiently operate mobility platforms while preserving operability of the vehicle utilized. Operations conducted in various complex terrain, require a depth of knowledge and experience to ensure the safety of each unit from the smallest operational element to a larger NSW force. The need for this training is driven by the multiple areas that Naval Special Warfare forces are currently operating in and may be called upon to operate in the future. With the current operational tempo and manpower limitations found within the NSW forces on the east coast, contractor assistance is required. Contractor assistance will act as a force multiplier, enhance unit capabilities and improve on the readiness and effectiveness of the command by providing technical and tactical resources to support the war-fighter. Contractor support is critical in assisting the Command in meeting emerging mission essential requirements.
