PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

TRAINING AND EDUCATION COMMAND (TECOM)

AVIATION TRAINING SYSTEM (ATS) SUPPORT SERVICES

1.0 Background.

1.1. Aviation Training Systems (ATS) is the overarching aviation training structure which integrates and coordinates policy, manpower, equipment, and fiscal requirements of post initial accession training for Marine Aviation officers and enlisted personnel. ATS was established to organize and coordinate efforts to develop a completely integrated training system across Marine

Aviation which provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) with combat ready units while managing associated training costs. In the past, weapons platforms fielded stove-piped training systems and devices that were loosely tied to Training and Readiness (T&R). Simulator utilization was low because they were often out of concurrency with the operational systems

(e.g., aircraft) and were a low priority to get upgraded. With DoD mandates circa 2005, Marine

Aviation implemented an Aviation Training System Transformation Task Force (ATS TTF) to modernize our processes and integrate our training systems to provide on time delivery of tactically relevant training. As Marine Aviation transitions to the AH-1Z, F-35B, F-35C, H-53K, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), the Common Aviation Command and Control System

(CAC2S), and the Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR); there will be a transformation in requirements dependencies tied to the T&R in networked simulation, how training systems are funded, built, utilized and managed, as well as an opportunity to leverage advances in technology, capability and to efficiently and effectively train individual Marines and aircrew. As the Aviation Distributed Virtual Training Environment (ADVTE) is further developed and implemented, the requirement for MAGTF-level simulation will continue to expand and will require a coordinated effort within the ATS to incorporate a fully integrated and holistic MATGF training environment.

2.0 Scope of Work.

2.1 TECOM, Aviation Standards Branch (ASB), is responsible for the management oversight, coordination, and execution of the ATS including; analysis, development, evaluation, and review of the Training and Readiness (T&R) standards applicable to specific Aviation Military

Occupational Specialties (MOS); and maintenance and updates of the Core Competency

Resource Model (CCRM). ASB is also responsible for the management and coordination of

Marine Corps Aviation’s simulation assets and its training requirements. The simulation assets are located at Marine Aviation Training Sites (MATSS) which can be found at each Marine

Corps Air Station (MCAS) (3.1). The ATS facilitates training to: 1) optimize simulator and academic resource utilization; 2) promote Standardization and Evaluation; and 3) advocate training issues to ensure ATS remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the fleet. The ASB within Training and Education Command (TECOM) has management oversight and execution responsibilities for ATS.

2.2 The Contractor will provide technical services and support for ASB in support of its execution of the Marine Corps’ ATS. Contractor support will be within the context of daily operations (military flight training scheduling/simulation, training support documentation, and other efforts requiring military and military training operations expertise), which may include the collection and management of information and data, conduct of assessments and analysis, participation in information and planning meetings, liaison with training centers and schools; and periodic briefings and reports necessary to support the following tasks: technical and analytical support (T&R development, CCRM support), MATSS support, and Program Management.

3.0 General Requirements.

3.1 Non-Personal Services. The Government shall neither supervise Contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual Contractor employees. If the Contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to immediately notify the Procuring

Contracting Officer (PCO).

3.2 Security and Clearances.

3.2.1 Clearances. Security clearances are required at the below designated locations. A

Department of Defense (DoD) Contract Security Classification Specification (DD 254)

(Attachment 1) detailing the security requirements will be executed to support security measures in place and applicable to performance of tasks. Contractor personnel must have at a minimum a secret security clearance. Contractor personnel located at MATSS Iwakuni, Japan; MATSS

Miramar, CA; MATSS Yuma, AZ; MATSS Beaufort, SC; MATSS Cherry Point, NC must have

Top Secret clearances for the purpose of facilities access. The Contractor will not require direct access to any secure data systems but may require access to secure spaces. The Contractor must have all requisite clearances NLT sixty (60) days after contract award.

3.2.2 Contractor employees performing on this contract will require Common Access Cards

(CACs) in order to perform their job function. In accordance with Headquarters, United States

Marine Corps issued guidance relative to Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 (HSPD-

12), all personnel must meet eligibility criteria to be issued a CAC. In order to meet the eligibility criteria, all Contractor employees must be accurately populated in the Joint Personnel

Adjudication System (JPAS) under their respective Commercial and Government Entity Code

(CAGE) Code. Each Contractor employee’s JPAS record must also reflect a favorably adjudicated Personnel Security Investigation (PSI) or (at a minimum) that a PSI has been submitted and accepted (opened.) If a Contractor employee’s open investigation closes and is not favorably adjudicated, the CAC must be immediately surrendered/retrieved and revoked.

Facility Security Officers are responsible for notifying the TECOM Security Director if any

Contractor performing on this contract receives an unfavorable adjudication after being issued a

CAC. Contractor CACs are issued with a “ctr.usmc.mil” e-mail account that the individual

Contractor is responsible to keep active by logging in on a regular basis (at least twice a month), sending an e-mail and clearing any unneeded e-mails. Contractors are prohibited from “auto-forwarding” their .mil e-mail account to their .com or any other e-mail/item account. CACs will only be issued to those Contractors supporting this contract that have been authorized by the

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The COR will only authorize CACs for those

Contractors that meet current HSPD-12 criteria and have a definitive requirement. CACs are not issued for convenience.

3.3 Work Location(s). Efforts in support of ATS will be accomplished at the following locations. Work may be performed off site pending coordination with the Contracting Officer

Representative (COR). Marine Corps Air Stations (MCAS) are located both in and outside the

Continental United States (OCONUS – (e.g. Iwakuni and Okinawa, Japan)).:
