The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Deputy Commander for Logistics and Industrial Operations has established the Fast Acquisition Solutions to Enable Readiness (FASTER) - Acquisition Cell (AC) as the organization responsible for establishing strategic sourcing contract vehicles for Contract Logistics Support (CLS) and Depot Maintenance services worldwide. FASTER-AC will provide assisted acquisition support to Naval Air Systems Command, other United States (US) Government agencies, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. NAVAIR is establishing this Kits, Recovery, Augmentation, Components and Engines (KRACEn) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) to provide rapid, flexible, ready, deployable CONUS/OCONUS capabilities and solutions for manned and unmanned aviation systems.

2.0 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE

KRACEn provides aircraft maintenance services and support to include modification kit builds and installations, repair and/or recovery of Aircraft on Ground (AOG), repair of aircraft airframe, repair and overhaul of components, repair and overhaul of engines, and augmentation labor supplement for maintenance where custody of the aircraft is not required. Examples of these services are acquiring and packaging aircraft component modification kits, support in recovery of aircraft, augmentation of government maintenance personnel, and aircraft component and engine maintenance. KRACEn will also support single satellite site, simple platform, O-level CLS requirements involving limited aircraft quantities.

KRACEn provides logistics functions and maintenance tasks required to keep (US) Government agencies and FMS customers’ manned and unmanned aircraft ready, available, and operating worldwide, as well as engineering services and developmental tasking supporting in-service engineering, maintenance capabilities, and mitigation of obsolescence issues.

KRACEn provides products and services using commercial Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) standards or organic military specific policies and procedures (agency/service specific). KRACEn may support manned and unmanned aircraft and aircraft systems in all phases of maintenance and operation of the aircraft and related systems.

KRACEn encompasses all phases of the acquisition life cycle and includes domestic and FMS requirements at afloat and ashore locations in the continental United States (CONUS) or outside the continental United States (OCONUS).

Comprised of only those general purpose items supplying or measuring broad parameters of physical properties that are known to be established in the using service's inventory, for example, ground electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic power units; towing, hoisting, and fueling devices; signal generation devices; and voltage, amperage, and phase measuring devices. The application of SE items to other end items, systems, or components does not in itself justify or classify the items as CSE. CSE is divided as AVIONICS SE (common and peculiar) and NONAVIONICS SE (common and peculiar).

PSE - Peculiar Support Equipment. An item of SE that must be designed and developed in conjunction with the development of a specific weapons system and does not meet the criteria of CSE. PSE is divided as AVIONICS SE (common and peculiar) and NONAVIONICS SE (common and peculiar).

Weapons. Weapon System - A weapon and those components/parts required for its operation. (The term is not precise unless specific parameters are established.)

AAS – Aircraft Armament System. (AAS) is comprised of the following sub-systems: Aircraft Armament Equipment (AAE)/Alternate Mission Equipment (AME), Aircraft Gun Systems (AGS), Aircraft Crew Served Weapons (ACSW), Aircraft Crew Served Weapon Mounts (ACSW Mounts), and LASER Aiming Devices (LAD).

Explosive Ordnance. Complete air launched weapon system(s) and components, except torpedoes and mines. Torpedoes and mines, supported by the COMNAVSEASYSCOM, are in some cases adapted to aircraft delivery. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM is responsible for the modification and equipment necessary to carry these weapons in aircraft.

Explosive System. Includes its components and the operationally adjacent mechanisms. Examples of explosive systems are: small arms, chaff dispensers, projectiles, bombs, missiles, rockets, targets using explosive materials, mines, torpedoes, grenades, charges, rounds, CADs, PADs, explosively operated stud drivers, gun mounts, missile grenades, and sonobuoys.
