1.2 SCOPE

1.1 General Scope

This contract is for performance based Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for site support, aircraft Depot maintenance, engine Depot maintenance, modifications, site stand ups, and strategies that optimize total system availability while minimizing cost and logistics footprint. Sustainment strategies include the best use of public and private sector capabilities through Government and industry partnering initiatives. This contract includes all facilities, labor, services, equipment, tools, parts, materials, and consumables not explicitly stated as Government furnished to perform the work requirements for Site Support, Aircraft Depot, and Engine Depot requirements identified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), the C-12 and C-26 Depot Level Maintenance Specification, and the TPE331-12, PT6A-41, PT6A-42, and PT6A-60A Engine Specifications as referenced herein.

1.2 Background

Initial C-12 aircraft were procured as a COTS product between 1976 and 1990, with additional aircraft purchased in 2008. C-26 aircraft were manufactured from 1989 to 1993. The C-26 aircraft were obtained from the Air National Guard and deployed in 1998 for Navy missions. Both the C-12 and C-26 are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type-certificated, commercial-derivative aircraft modified with Navy and Marine Corps required items, supported and maintained in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), and Naval Air Forces Instructions. The aircraft provide on-call, rapid response, cargo and passenger transportation as well as forward-deployed logistics support. Selected C-26 aircraft are tasked with range support. The C-12 T/M/S aircraft, manufactured by Beechcraft Corporation as Model 200 Series (military-designated C-12B, -F, or -M) and Model 350 Series (designated UC-12W), are high-performance, fixed-wing, pressurized, twin-engine turboprops that accommodate a pilot, co-pilot, up to eight passengers, cargo, or a combination of passengers and cargo. The C-26 aircraft, manufactured by Fairchild Industries as Metroliner SA-227 Series, is a high-performance, fixed-wing, pressurized, twin-engine turboprop that accommodates a pilot, co-pilot, 19 passengers, cargo, or a combination of passengers and cargo. Both aircraft programs are in the sustainment phase and have been continuously maintained under competitive CLS services contracts since initial fleet introduction. C-12 inventory changes are anticipated during FY15-FY20. UC-12W is expected to increase from 6 to 12 aircraft via annual procurements and likely divest of an equal number of UC-12F during the same timeframe; TC-12B is expected to divest all 25 aircraft during FY16-17.

1.3 Site Operations

As of 1 November 2014, DoN UL aircraft currently operate from the following locations:

Table 1

*NOTE: A potential exists for divestiture of all of these aircraft by 1 October 2016, removing Corpus Christi, TX from site support requirement.

1.4 Maintenance Concept

Depot-level maintenance of airframes, engines, propellers, accessories, and all logistics support are provided through a CLS service contract. The C-12D aircraft are under a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) FAR Part 21. The C-26 aircraft are under a FAA FAR Part 21. Maintenance or repair may be accomplished by the site maintainers, an OEM authorized Service Center, or an FAA-certified or European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) - certified Part 145 repair station.

As of 1 November 2014, Department of the Navy (DoN) Utility Lift (UL) aircraft are configured with the following turboprop engine and propellers types:

3.10.5 Security Requirement

The Contractor shall secure required background clearances and access badges to meet operational requirements. The Contractor shall also secure passports, country clearances, VISAs and physical examinations to meet operational requirements.

The Government security manager will submit an Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing (SF 86), National Agency Check with Local Agency Check and Credit Checks (NACLC) for IT II system access to OPM. The Government security manager will submit required fingerprints for a contractor requiring this Non-NISP process. Once OPM has completed the initial background check, the determination will come back as "Favorable" or "No Determination Made" in the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS). The Government security manager will notify the COR, ACOR, TPOC, TA, and the Contractor's security representative or FSO if a background investigation returns with No Determination Made or derogatory information. All issues regarding derogatory information (i.e. Medical Evaluations, Letter of Intent, Statement of Reasons, 30 Day JPAS messages, base access, CAC, SAAR-N forms, IT system access) shall be addressed between the COR/ACOR/TPOC/TA, and representative/FSO. No contractor personnel shall have access to any IT system until resolution of derogatory information. All reinvestigations for non-critical sensitive IT-II designated positions are required every 10 years and will be received via JPAS Network by the Government security manager and contractor security representative or FSO. ONLY THE GOVERNMENT SECURITY MANAGER WILL SERVICE THE CONTRACTOR IN JPAS. The Contractor shall ensure the employee maintains a current, favorably adjudicated Personnel Security Investigation (PSI), at the appropriate level, throughout the order performance period of the contract.

3.10.6 JPAS Record Maintenance

The Contractor shall maintain an accurate account of the employee's JPAS record for the submission of visit requests as required.

When an unfavorable adjudication is returned by Department of the Navy Central Adjudication Facility (DONCAF), the employee shall not be permitted to work on this order effort and if already working, shall be removed without delay. The potential consequences of any requirements under this clause, including denial of access for a current or proposed employee who fails to obtain a favorably adjudicated PSI, in no way relieves the Contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the order within the timeframes specified in the order.

3.10.7 Security Violations

The Contractor shall notify the Utility Lift’s Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or On-Site Government TPOC and installation Security Department within one hour of discovery of a security violation, suspected security violation, or unauthorized site entry.

3.10.8 Information Assurance

The Contractor shall ensure that personnel accessing information systems have the proper and current Information Assurance (IA) certification to perform IA functions in accordance with DOD 8570.01-M. The Contractor shall meet the applicable IA certification requirements to include:

· Documentation validating the IA certification status of personnel performing IA functions.

Contractor personnel who do not have proper and current certifications will be denied access to DOD information systems for the purpose of performing IA functions. DON no longer permits assignment of non-U.S. citizen contractor personnel to IT-II designated positions. Requests to waive the U.S. citizenship requirements for designated IT-II positions may be submitted through the Government Command Security Manager to The Deputy under Secretary of the Navy for Plans, Policy, Oversight and Integration. Failure to provide necessary security and IT documentation in a timely manner will prevent proper in-processing and system access for the employee prior to their reporting date.
