STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) is a joint, multi-national program and is the Department of Defense’s (DoD) focal point for defining affordable next generation strike aircraft weapon systems among the United States (U.S.) Air Force (USAF), U.S. Navy (USN), U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), and U.S. allies currently composed of seven (7) cooperative international partners: the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Denmark, and Norway;

as well as Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The F-35 is the next generation strike fighter bringing cutting-edge technologies to the battle-space of the future. The F-35’s advanced airframe, autonomic logistics, avionics, propulsion systems, stealth, and firepower will ensure that the F-35 is the most affordable, lethal, supportable and survivable aircraft ever to be used by so many warfighters around the world. The JPO is a product-aligned organization comprised of Program Management Offices (PMOs) designed to deliver five major products across the acquisition lifecycle: Air Vehicle, Propulsion, Combat Data Systems, Training Systems & Simulation, and Maintenance Systems. These PMOs are empowered with the responsibility and authority necessary to effectively deliver their capabilities to the Warfighter. The program’s objective is to develop and deploy the F-35 Air System (AS), a three (3) variant family of highly common and affordable 5th Generation strike fighter aircraft that meets the operational needs of the USAF, USN, USMC, and cooperative partner international services. Additional production of the F-35 is made through FMS. The JPO Chief Enterprise Support Office (CESO) supports the PMOs with program management, contracting services, and quality assurance in order to provide the best, most efficient contract strategies in support of the JSF vision, mission, goals and objectives.

2.0 SCOPE
