Contractor Maintenance Support (CMS)

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this nonpersonal services contract is to provide Contractor Maintenance Support (CMS) for the six Tactical Aircraft (TACAIR) Squadrons of Marine Aircraft Group 26 (MAG).

MAG 26 is a United States Marine Corps aviation unit based at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, North Carolina, that is composed of six TACAIR Marine Medium Tilt rotor Squadrons (VMM’s), one Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) and one Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS). Operationally, MAG 26 falls under the command of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (2D MAW) and II Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF). The six applicable TACAIR squadrons are:

VMM-162

VMM-261

VMM-263

VMM-264

VMM-266

VMM-365

MAG 26’s increasing operational demand in support of worldwide deployments as well as force restructuring requirements has depleted the MAG’s level of government maintenance personnel qualifications. The CMS will perform Organizational Level (O-Level) maintenance to fill critical qualification gaps within the TACAIR squadrons while providing On the Job Training (OJT) for government maintenance personnel at the O-Level.

Under this nonpersonal services contract, the contractor personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.
