DRAFT

1.0 SCOPE

1.1 BACKGROUND: The Integrated Warfighter Support Services (IWSS) Division of the Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Center (NATEC) provides Engineering Technical Services (ETS) in support of Naval Aviation weapons systems throughout their sustainment life-cycle. In addition to aircraft programs, NATEC is responsible for ETS services in support of all associated systems and equipment. The objective of ETS is to develop the technical skills and abilities of Navy and Marine Corps military and civilian personnel who are responsible for the operation and maintenance of their assigned aviation weapon system/program. Weapon system maintenance, along with maintenance on associated support equipment, is essential for its successful performance in a military role and is therefore indispensable for both current deployments and national security. It is essential that aircraft be mission-ready and able to perform their military tasking with the minimum possible failures or faults. Insufficiently trained military or civilian personnel exist within the Government to perform the necessary tasks, particularly those on new or modified systems.

1.2 SCOPE: NATEC, San Diego, CA requires Contractor Engineering Technical Services (CETS) Contractor Field Services (CFS) to be provided to various Fleet shore activities for the purpose of informing, instructing, and training Navy, Marine Corps military and civilian personnel to be proficient in the installation, operation, and maintenance to include technical guidance and advice to resolve unusually complex technical problems. CFS technical expertise is categorized by Aviation Core Disciplines: Power Plant (PP). This acquisition is for CFS type of Engineering Technical Services (ETS) in support of AV8-B and E-2D aircraft engine systems, subsystems, and associated support equipment listed in paragraph 3.2.3 of the PWS.
