1.1 General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Support Services (AFRSS). Consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 37.104 guidance, the Government will not exercise relatively continuous supervision or control over Contractor or subcontractor personnel performing the services herein. The Contractor is responsible for the performance and conduct of Contractor personnel. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.3 Background: Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) selects, educates, trains, and commissions college students to be officers and leaders of character in the Total Air and Space Force. Additionally, AFROTC instills the values of citizenship, national and community service, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment in college students. Currently there are 145 AFROTC Detachments.

1.4 Scope: This PWS supports HQ AFROTC, its four (4) Regional Commands, and 145 subordinate Detachments in achieving objectives related to the training and commissioning of AFROTC Cadets and providing administrative support services to the AFROTC Program as a whole in order to instill in our Cadets the Institutional Competencies and Sub-Competencies as directed by the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF).

The primary focus for AFROTC programs in the base period of this requirement is identified within Technical Exhibit (TE) 6; however, TE 10 lists all current AFROTC Program locations. TE 6 outlines the initial staffing for this requirement. There may be a need in the future to increase, reduce or adjust the locations and numbers contained within TE 6 and TE 10 based on the availability of US Air Force personnel, shifts in cadet operational strengths, and shifts in AFROTC priorities. This may also shift or be expanded in the future to directly provide administrative and functional support at the individual AFROTC Detachment level.
