1 Description of Services This Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)/Requirements Performance-Based Work Statement (PWS) and subsequent delivery orders (DOs) will supplement 448 Supply Chain Management Wing essential engineering capabilities to include, but are not limited to Integrity Program Support Reliability-Centered Maintenance(RCM); Data Mining/Trend Identification;

Structural Engineering Support; Mechanical/Electronic Prototype Design Engineering;

Supportability Improvement; Technology Insertion; Development and Sustainment of Aircraft Tools; Reliability/Maintainability Engineering; Industrial Engineering; Electrical Engineering; an Factors Engineering; Test and Evaluation; Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization;; Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E); and Specialized Studies. The Contractor shall perform studies, analyses, and engineering and document the results in accordance with individual TOs and air worthiness.

The Contractor shall provide engineering support for the Honeywell NSNs identified on the contract to resolve shortfalls and deficiencies concerning safety, supportability, reliability, availability, and maintainability. Engineering efforts may include but are not limited to: identifying and correcting obsolete parts and DI-MGMT-82273 Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Health Assessment Report, performing engineering analysis, mishap/safety investigations, prototyping, assess and resolve materiel deficiencies, modeling, simulation, and providing engineering data.

Requirements will be detailed and cited in mutually agreed upon separately funded task orders accompanied by applicable documents.

1.1 Objective(s)

The objectives of this PWS fully support the fundamental and overarching objective of providing technological, supportable products and services to the warfighter. A continuing, structured, and systematic approach for essential engineering support is critical to the Hill, Robins and Tinker AFB mission and will be affected through this PWS. Additionally, the objective of the Engineering Capability Services is to provide mission essential engineering support capabilities for all bases mentioned. TOs and other Honeywell documentation shall be used to provide technically competent, rapidly responding engineering support for Air Force weapon systems and platforms.

An additional advantage of this effort is to provide unbiased, independent, rapid, non-product affiliated essential engineering and research services. The Contractor will perform tasks identified to insert new supportable technologies, products, or processes to improve weapon system availability and reduce operating costs.

This PWS describes the basic requirements that shall apply to the individual TOs that are placed under the Engineering Services. The applicability of these requirements and any other specific requirements shall be set forth in each individual TO.

1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force

This acquisition will benefit the USAF by providing specialized engineering and research services required to solve complex technical warfighter problems. These actions enhance organic capabilities with technically competent, rapidly responding resources. This effort will enable mission success by providing supportable technologies, products, or processes to improve weapon system availability and reduce operating costs.

1.3 Background

A strategic reserve of Honeywell technical expertise and engineering presence is invaluable to the Air Force’s engineering workforce and the programs they support. Without this assistance to accomplish the aforementioned tasks, the war fighter’s mission would be impacted. This source must be capable of providing timely, integrated engineering solutions to difficult technical challenges. The operational environment will not accommodate the timeframe necessary for the development of an alternative engineering capability when a problem develops.

It is essential to maintain this engineering capability at the Air Force for continuity, dependability, and follow-on work since a loss of this rapid response capability to respond to warfighter requirements would adversely impact the Air Force mission.

1.4 ES Engineering Services General Information

The ES shall be executed on a Delivery Order (DO) basis with each DO being a stand-alone effort with unique requirements, period of performance, funding, and deliverables.

If there is a conflict between the IDIQ PWS and the DO PWS, the DO PWS shall take precedence.

Funding is not provided for the ES basic contract PWS. Rather, all funding is provided through the issuance of subsequent DOs.

The Contractor shall respond to these DOs from the Government, for information or questions relating to design data, flight test data, qualification tests, performance, reliability, or other areas of interest or concern and provide copies of conclusions. The Contractor shall provide engineering support which requires analyses, evaluations, and resolutions in order to avoid any negative impacts to aircraft availability and/or safety.

The contractor shall provide an engineering support help desk telephone line. This telephone support shall be for government engineers’ access to the contractor for questions arising from the support of these Honeywell items. This phone support shall be available Monday through Friday during normal business hours. If in the opinion of the contractor the questions and situations presented over the phone to the contractor require more time and research, the contractor will request a DO be submitted to resolve the situation.
