1.0 SCOPE. 3d Reconnaissance Battalion and Force Reconnaissance Company, 3d Marine Division (3d

MARDIV), 3d Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) have a requirement to conduct qualification training for Military Free Fall (MFF), Double Bag Static Line (DBSL) and Tandem Offset Resupply Delivery System (TORDS) using USMC program of record equipment. This training will be conducted by USMC Airborne Mobile Training

Team (AMTT) instructors and may be supplemented by contracted instructors. Training involves classroom instruction and participating in practical application parachute operations to produce category III parachutists IAW

MCO 3120.11a and TM70244A-OI, to support Mission Essential Task (MET), OPLAN and CONPLAN requirements of 3d MARDIV and III MEF.

2.0 REQUIREMENT. The contractor shall provide all management, labor, equipment, tools, materials, and services necessary to support the outlined parachute operations to include aircraft with pilots for use as a jump platform in order to conduct parachute sustainment training. Training will consist of two packages: DESERT

CANOPY and DESERT HAWK. DESERT CANOPY will qualify Force Reconnaissance Company parachutists

IAW III MEF requirements and DESERT HAWK will qualify 3d Reconnaissance Battalion parachutists IAW 3d

MARDIV requirements. Support will be required to execute these two TORDS qualification courses per year over the period of performance. This could include the equipment or personnel variant courses. While the training and course prerequisites will differ, requirements for either the personnel or equipment course will be the same in terms of aircraft blade hours, instructor support and facility use.

The contract will be a purchase order contract with eight (8) options. 3d Reconnaissance Battalion will exercise parachute training over the period of performance. This implies that multiple iterations may occur in particular fiscal years (FYs). The contractor will be notified no later than 60 days prior with the Government’s intent to execute the specified training packages. No later than 30 days prior to execution, the Government will provide notification to the Contractor to exercise the option.

6.1 Objectives

a. Enable Reconnaissance USMC personnel to conduct airborne inserts with additional mission specific equipment or personnel.

b. Provide a DOD approved commercial platform IAW the references and paragraph 6.3.a.1. TORDS packages will require approximately 12 days and 18 hours of blade time to conduct this training. All required blade hours are exclusively for training use only and do not include repositioning blade hours and associated fees.

Blade hours for TORDS training are separate from the DESERT CANOPY and DESERT HAWK required blade hours.

c. Provide training spaces/training areas capable of accommodating up to six students and enablers during practical application for 25 total USMC personnel from 3d Reconnaissance Battalion for formal/informal instruction and parachute operations. The USMC personnel must be able to utilize these training areas for classroom instruction, parachute packing, parachute storage, gear preparation, gear storage, training, and drop zones for DOD personnel conducting parachute operations, and messing. The training area must be capable of supporting all requirements as detailed below and provide a command and control node to the instructors and company staff throughout the period of instruction.

d. Provide 10,000 pound MHE capability to on and off load equipment bundles on the DOD approved commercial aircraft.

e. TORDS will be executed twice per year over the period of performance, ideally in conjunction with an existing DESERT CANOPY or DESERT HAWK package. This includes either TORDS-E or TORDS-P, however the contractor-provided responsibilities will remain consistent for either package. Contractor requirements for each package are outlined in section 6.3.

6.2 Scope

a. Training instruction will be delivered through the USMC AMTT. Contractor shall only provide aircraft and blade hours, facility use and requirements specific to the building and loading of equipment bundles.

6.3 Tasks

(1) The Contractor shall provide one aircraft with the following specifications:

(a) Capable of conducting military free fall parachute operations from a minimum altitude of 10,000ft MSL and not to exceed 20,000ft MSL.

(b) Capable of efficiently climbing to altitude to support the required scheme of maneuver.

(c) Approved aircraft, authorized to conduct parachute operations with DOD personnel.

(d) Capable of supporting 10 combat loaded USMC personnel, two Free Fall Jump Masters and two instructors.

(e) Capable of loading up to three equipment bundles of up to 450lbs each.

(f) Capable of rear ramp exit TORDS and MFF operations.

(g) Capable of supporting and mounting oxygen consoles.

(h) Capable of day and night flight and parachute operations.

(2) The Contractor shall provide 18 blade hours of aircraft use per course for training. All required blade hours are exclusively for training use only and do not include repositioning blade hours and associated fees.

The contractor is responsible for all aircraft maintenance, mechanical support, and airfield storage.

(3) The contractor shall provide a facility for the duration of training. This facility will meet the same specifications as the DESERT CANOPY and DESERT HAWK packages, as the training will be conducted prior to or following those packages.

(4) The contractor shall provide access to MHE with an operator, coordinated on request, to move bundle, cargo or JPADS onto or off of aircraft.

(5) The Contractor shall provide an off-DZ landing jumper and parachute recovery capability, in addition to an equipment bundle recovery capability.

(6) The Facility must be located on an airport, with at least one ZAR DZ on location to facilitate the scheme of maneuver.

(7) The Contractor shall provide five ZAR listed drop zones. If the contractor is not the controlling agency of the DZs, the contractor shall provide a letter from the controlling agency indicating that the contractor may use the DZs for the entire training period.

(8) The Contractor shall provide and coordinate medical support in the form of air medevac capabilities. The minimum is that the contractor be capable of coordinating Medevac support through local Emergency Medical

Systems (EMS) like "911" to include life flight for urgent and/or priority casualties.

(9) The Contractor shall provide liaison to medical facilities in the area.

(10) The Contractor shall provide initial coordination of air evacuation of casualty. Initial coordination falls in line with the minimum requirements for MEDEVAC support, so they need to be able to activate the EMS to allow

USMC medical support to process any injured USMC personnel.

(11) The Contractor shall provide a runway capable of supporting a C-130 aircraft.

(1) Instructors to facilitate program of instruction (POI).

(2) Students to execute POI.

(3) Equipment, as required by the POI.

(4) Billeting and feed requirements for instructors and students.

6.4 Security:

a. Due to the high-risk nature of parachute operations, a secure climate controlled area with double lock capability and authorized access to only 3d Reconnaissance Paraloft personnel is required for storage of all parachutes and parachute related gear.

6.5 Place of Performance:

a. Co-location with DESERT CANOPY and DESERT HAWK packages. Due to transportation of things and people (TOT/TOP) costs, training will occur in conjunction with those packages.

7.0 UNUSED BLADE HOURS. The Government has the right to cancel a flight mission the day of the training due to foul weather on the drop zone. The Government will not be charged for any unused blade hours (due to adverse weather conditions, safety stand down, etc.). In that case, the Contractor shall invoice only for actual time flown, and flight time to return to home station.

8.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE. Purchase order contract with eight (8) options. The contractor will be notified no later than 60 days prior with the Government’s intent to execute the specified training packages. No later than 30 days prior to execution, the Government will provide the contractor a purchase order for services.
