The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. Why does the fixed wing aircraft have to be an

AN2 Colt when there are multiple types of aircraft that much more capable and would do a better job of replicating adversary air for the customer? Is there something specific to the AN2 Colt you are looking to replicate?

A1. The fixed wing (FW) support does not have to come via an

AN-2 Colt. It may come via an L-39 or Red Air support FW platform that possesses the ability to replicate a FW threat to rotary wing (RW) aircraft.

Q2. Will an electronic DD 254 be issued with the response to industry questions?

A2. No, an electronic DD 254 is available at https://www.hqmc.marines.mil/Portals/137/DD254%20(DIGITAL

%20SIGNATURE).pdf?ver=2017-01-09-154507-160

Q3. We respectfully request that that the

Government provide a page limit of 50 pages for the three volumes.

A3. The 52.212-1 Addendum has been modified to allow for a page limit of 50 pages on all quotes.

Q4. Will the government specify how much third-party liability coverage is required? Has the government considered designating the contractor provided/operated aircraft as “public use” while in the performance of this contract as a means to reduce cost?

A4. In accordance with FAR 52.228-5, Insurance on a

Government Installation, the Contractor at its own expense, shall acquire and thereafter maintain the following kinds of insurance with respect to performance under this contract:

(a) Workmen’s Compensation Insurance, or equivalent workmen’s compensation coverage, as required or prescribed by law, with minimum employer liability of

$100,000 for accidental bodily injury or death, or for occupational disease.

(b) Comprehensive General Liability with minimum limits of $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury.

(c) Comprehensive Automobile Liability with minimum limits of $200,000 per person and $500,000 per accident or occurrence for bodily injury, and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage.

(d) Liability for bodily injury or death of aircraft passengers:

coverage shall be at least $200,000 per person and

$500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger liability, and $200,000 per occurrence for property damage. Coverage for passenger liability body injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater.

The Contractor shall maintain a copy of all proofs of required insurance and shall make copies available to the Contracting

Officer upon request.

The Government will NOT designate the contractor-provided/operated aircraft as “public use” while in the performance of this contract.

Q5. Will the contracting office provide the specs of the TACS Pod before contract award? The adapter to allow mounting of NATO std 14-inch wing store lugs to the Mi-24 wing store is not difficult to build as these were manufactured by ATSA in the 1990s for MILES kits (MWO 55-35-98-003 for Mi-24 and

Mi-17 Helicopter 1996) and TACS pods.

A5. No, the specifications will not be provided prior to award.

The aircraft must carry either a GPS puck or instrumentation pod for post-flight analysis and debrief.

Q6. The contractor can meet the An-2 Colt requirement with notice of activation of the An-2

CLIN. However, will the contracting office consider

A6. Yes, the fixed wing support does not have to come via an

AN-2 Colt. It may come via an L-39 or Red Air support FW https://www.hqmc.marines.mil/Portals/137/DD254%20(DIGITAL%20SIGNATURE).pdf?ver=2017-01-09-154507-160

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1), located at Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma, Arizona (MCAS Yuma) is the United States Marine Corps premiere advanced aviation training school.

MAWTS-1 provides Weapons and Tactics Training for the whole of Marine Corps aviation. As part of the

Joint National Training Capability program, this training is also provided to joint and coalition forces during semi-annual Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) courses.

The WTI Course is a Service-led tactical training course that emphasizes integrated training between all facets of aviation, aviation ground support and supporting arms working within the Marine Air Command and

The WTI Course consists of seven (7) weeks of instruction broken into two (2) phases: 1) academic and 2) flight. During the course, the students refine their instructional skills and demonstrate the ability to plan and execute complex tactical evolutions. In addition to academic and aviation training, integrated planning with ground combat arms students is provided. In the training, MAWTS-1 presents both friendly and enemy combat capabilities. MAWTS-1 also provides detailed study of enemy weapons and tactics, based on current intelligence and combat lessons learned.

2.0 SCOPE

The scope of this effort is to provide familiarization of flight characteristics, capabilities and limitations of the foreign adversary rotary-wing and propeller driven aircraft to MAWTS-1 instructors and prospective Weapons and Tactics instructors. This will be accomplished by having access to two foreign adversary contractor-provided aircrafts that shall participate in the flight phases of the Weapons and Tactics Courses as part of a realistic opposing force during specified flight evolutions as required by the Commanding Officer of MAWTS-
