PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1st Distribution Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group Air Delivery and Low-Level Static Line Sustainment Training Support

1. Background. United States Marine Corps (USMC) Air Delivery units maintain a personnel and cargo airdrop capability to enable elements of the institution to clandestinely insert into areas of operation with enemy employing advanced anti-access technologies. These elements frequently require augmentation from other units to bring additional skill sets and collections capabilities or to bring additional equipment to increase the sustainment of long-duration missions. These insert methods enhance the unit’s force protection as it conducts ground reconnaissance during Phase-0 to Phase-4 Joint Operations decreasing risk to force and risk to mission. The currently reduced availability of military aircraft to support Air Delivery (AD) and Low-Level Static Line training has caused a subsequent reduction in capability for Distribution Support units. Contracted air support is required to supplement military aircraft to attain the volume of airdrops needed in the battalion for sustainment. The USMC has established courses to train Marines in this area, however, they have a prerequisite that is often met only after many years of parachute training. That requirement is for a parachutist to have attained 15 LLSL jumps with the Maneuverable Canopy Six (MC-6) to attend the United States Army Jumpmaster (LLSLJM) course. Previously, the few Marines that have met the requirements and attended the course are in a rank and unit life cycle that often precludes their employment at the base unit level due to upcoming transition and permeant change of duty station orders. The training continuum of the unit and the available support of Marine Corps aviation can only be adjusted so far and currently cannot fulfill the volume of required airdrops needed. The most effective method for attaining this number of airdrops safely as well as for supporting the required LLSL progression and sustainment is through the use of contracted support at an established drop zone familiar with LLSL operations. The combination of aircraft support and facility resources will reduce the risk of airdrop failure, parachutist injury, rapidly advance capabilities, and facilitate the achievement of prerequisites and course training to increase the airdrop capabilities of the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF).

2. Scope. 1st Distribution Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, I MEF, is in need of a contract to support Air Delivery and Low-Level Static Line Progression and Sustainment Training per Marine Corps Order (MCO) 3120.11A and in accordance with training directives in Marine Corps Order (MCO) 3502.3B. The period of instruction will build upon current resident AD and LLSL capabilities to support future deploying Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU), I MEF contingency operations, major combat operations, and the battalion’s requirements within the prioritized Combatant Command Operational and Conceptual Plans. This is to be accomplished through a combination of contracted facilities, aircraft support, battalion-provided training, and contracted drop zone use in a geographic location that can support all cargo and personnel parachute requirements listed in the performance work statement.
