Performance Work Statement USMC Range Control Facility Support Services 10 February 2017

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction. Range Control Facilities (RCFs) are located on United States Marine Corps (USMC) installations that contain Range and Training Areas (RTAs). Range Control Facilities manage processes and procedures for the control, regulation, and safe and effective utilization of RTAs. Range control functions include RTA scheduling, fire desk operations, RTA airspace management, range safety, and communications to execute range control.

The Government requires Range Facility Management Support System (RFMSS) operator support, Integrated Range Status System (IRSS) operator support, Range Safety support, Geospatial Information System (GIS) technical support, program management support, and service level technical services to fulfill Range & Training Area Management (RTAM) and RCF mission requirements.

1.2 Mission. Marine Corps Order (MCO) P3550.10 with Change 1, Policies and Procedures for Range and Training Area (RTA), establishes responsibilities and prescribes policies and procedures concerning range management, standards, and the operation and safety of Marine Corps RTAs.

1.3 Background. Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) provides acquisition support for Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM) global contracting actions.

RTAM is the program sponsor for RTA management programs and systems supporting RCFs across the USMC. RTAM sponsorship includes RFMSS, the IRSS, associated system operators, technical support, and administrative support for range regulations, operating procedures, facility manuals, training materials and RTA focused GIS products.

RFMSS is a USMC mandated program and all range facilities are required to use this system. RFMSS automates the training facility management functions. Those functions include: scheduling, collecting and analyzing actual range usage data, comparing scheduled and actual activities for each range, collecting range maintenance data, collecting downtime data, collecting and summarizing range and training information.

IRSS is an integrated range status system that displays a military and civilian air and ground picture in real-time, depicting range and training areas along with Special Use Airspace (SUA). The system incorporates radar feeds, an air Position Location Instrumentation (PLI), a ground PLI System, and a RFMSS interface.

1.4 Scope. This effort provides the RCF with operational, safety, technical and administrative support services. Tasks include: 1.) RFMSS support (administration, scheduling, fire desk, reports, GIS data); and 2.) IRSS services that prioritize and deconflict training requests, monitor real-time range activity, capture range status changes in real time, and collect range utilization data. Range safety and inspection services ensure ranges are in an operational status before training exercises commence and after training exercises are completed to ensure usability for the next exercise. Administrative services develop and maintain Marine Corps Orders, range regulations, operating procedures, facility manuals, training materials and GIS range data layers.
