PERFORMANCE-BASED

STATEMENT OF WORK

For Unmanned Aircraft Systems Maintenance Group One through Four

1. INTRODUCTION (BACKGROUND)

Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL), an echelon four command of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), is a cognizant authority for active test and evaluation (T&E) and participation in all phases of the weapon system life cycle process for fixed, rotary wing, unmanned aerial and lighter-than-air vehicles. The test articles are provided to NTWL and its test squadrons through several methods. The primary source of assignment is by a major program office for the development, procurement and sustainment of Navy, Marine or Joint Force use systems. However, other sources of assignment, of articles subjected to T&E by NTWL, include other service components of the Department of Defense, foreign national defense and commercial systems, other US government agencies engaged in flight operations, as well as commercial aviation flight activities. The scope and complexity of these test articles are not limited to full scale aircraft systems. NTWL provides full system spectrum test capability from complete aircraft down to sub-system components, expendable weapon, sensor, and deception articles and flight worthy software designed to operate and configure the system and its components. This Performance Based Statement of Work (PBSOW) establishes the requirements for Contractor Maintenance and Logistics Support (CLS) of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Groups One through Four. The following Periods of performance apply to this PBSOW:

1.1 Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) operations bear risk in every aspect when considered in regard to the objectives of a development program where cost and schedule are typically driving harder than those of performance, however safe and efficient flight operation clearly is the highest priority at this command. NTWL is the resource manager charged with reducing the risks associated with the hazards of flight, as well as ground operations and around aircraft equipment. An effective CLS work force is one that is well-trained, experienced, adaptable, and engrained with the best business practices of aviation maintenance process discipline, to provide the best opportunity to meet operational test commitments, conduct organizational level maintenance requirements, and achieve the goal of safe flight operations under performance standards set forth in this PBSOW. Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL) shall provide a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), Government Flight Representative (GFR), Maintenance Officer (MO), Aviation Program Team (APT) element, and Government Quality Assurance Representative(s) (GQAR) to monitor contractor performance. NTWL is in constant competition for these resources while worldwide commitment for our military forces remains high, budgets are thin, and fleet units are tasked at unprecedented levels. For these reasons, a contracted maintenance service work force is feasible, desirable and affordable when considered the investment returned in schedule achieved to get the best equipment out to the War-fighter.

1.2 The following types of funding will be utilized to support this contract:

1.2.1 Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding is used to pay the operating costs of dedicated activities engaged in the conduct of research, development, and test and evaluation efforts performed by a contractor and/or government organization.

1.2.2 Operation and Maintenance, Navy(O&MN) appropriations are used to finance “expenses” not related to military personnel or RDT&E. Types of expenses funded by O&MN appropriations include: DoD civilian salaries, supplies and materials, maintenance of equipment, certain equipment items, real property maintenance, rental of equipment and facilities, food, clothing, and fuel.

The above stated hours are general operating hours for UASTD. A Compressed Work Schedule (CWS) is authorized, however, the government reserves the right to discontinue or adjust the CWS schedule; the contractor will be given a 30 day notice if this schedule is to be discontinued. The Government reserves the right to adjust days/hours of operation to meet the needs of test programs. All changes will be provided by the MO and /or COR. When the need for Weekend/Holiday flight and maintenance operations arises, notice will be given by the MO to the Contractor. In addition to above hours, the contractor must be able to support concurrent tri-site operations detachment/home-guard for Group 3 and above. The contractor must also be able to support Group 1/2 operations during that time. The chart below is an example of detachment manpower:

3.1.4.2 COMPRESSED WORK SCHEDULE (CWS): CWS is an alternative work schedule to the traditional five 8.5 hour workdays (which includes a 30-minute lunch) worked per week. Under a CWS schedule, an employee completes the following schedule within a two-week period of time: eight weekdays are worked at 9.5 hours each (which includes a 30-minute lunch), one weekday is alternately worked as 8.5 hours (which includes a 30-minute lunch) and one weekday is not worked by the employee. The result is 80 hours worked every two weeks, with 44 work hours one week and 36 work hours the other.

3.1.4.2.1 The Contractor, with agreement by the COR/ACOR, may allow its employees to work a CWS schedule. If the Contractor chooses to allow its employees to work a CWS schedule in support of this contract, any additional costs associated with the implementation of the CWS schedule vice the standard schedule are unallowable costs under this contract and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Additionally, the CWS schedule shall not prevent Contractor employees from providing necessary staffing and services coverage when required by the Government. If agreement to implement the CWS schedule is reached with the COR, the overall schedule must be provided and approved. Key contractor personnel, at the discretion of the COR, may not be allowed to work a CWS schedule even if the remaining employees are permitted to do so.

3.1.4.3 OVERTIME: Overtime is anticipated. If required, overtime must be authorized by the TPOC/COR. The Contractor shall not work any overtime without approval by the TPOC/COR. The Contractor shall provide an estimate for approval to the TPOC/COR of OT hours required for any projected overtime effort.

While generally contractor personnel may not perform work on-site at a Government facility without supervision from Federal personnel, in very limited circumstances, work being performed by contractor personnel may be deemed mission essential and performance of such mission essential work may be authorized to continue at the Government facility despite the facility being otherwise closed for normal operations. The circumstances permitting work being performed by contractor personnel to be deemed mission essential are extremely limited and generally only apply to performance of efforts related to public health, safety, or matters related to national security. The cognizant Contracting Officer must concur with any determination that work being performed by contractor personnel is mission essential.
