STATEMENT OF WORK

AFIT Mobile Remote Sensing Laboratory Trailer

Rev 05 November 2024

Air Force Institute of Technology of the United States Air Force, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

I. BACKGROUND:

Air Force Institute of Technology/ Center for Technical Intelligence Studies & Research (AFIT/CTISR) owns over $6M in exquisite remote sensing equipment that is periodically deployed to remote locations (3-6x/yr.) in austere (harsh) environments. To support these tests, a climate controlled mobile facility with self-contained electricity production is required. The instruments used in these tests are very sensitive to temperature and humidity changes and require at a minimum of 10 kW of electrical power. To date, these tests have been accomplished with an existing trailer which is not climate controlled using external generators. This capability has proven to be intractable (not easily manageable) in many of the environments we required to execute testing in.

II. SCOPE:

AFIT/CTISR has a requirement for a remote sensing field laboratory. The research center conducts significant DoD relevant research activities in remote locations. These activities require the deployment of exquisite remote sensing instruments against a variety of targets. These locations are often austere with little support infrastructure. This laboratory is necessary to protect both the instruments and operators from the environment during these excursions. In order to support this requirement, the Center requires a trailer of sufficient size, with an appropriate load capacity, the appropriate configuration, as well as the necessary power, and climate controls to support a broad variety of data collection efforts.

V. INVOICE AND PAYMENT:

The contractor shall be paid upon submission of a properly prepared invoice and after final inspection and acceptance has been made. A proper invoice shall cite the contractor’s name and address, invoice number, invoice date, order number, contract line-item number (CLIN), description of the supplies or service, unit of issue, unit price and extended price, terms of any prompt payment discount offered, and who to notify in the event that the invoice is defective.

VII. DELIVERY PROCEDURES COMMERCIAL VEHICLES:

7.1 All vehicles larger than a large pick-up truck are required to be inspected by the Wright- Patterson Air Force Base Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation. Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following:

7.1.1. Step van/panel truck

7.1.2. Tractor/trailer, box and flatbed containing cargo

7.1.3. Tanker trucks

7.1.4. Box truck

7.1.5. Tour buses

7.1.6. Garbage/recycled waste trucks

7.1.7. Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks

7.1.8. Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker

8.2. The following are exemptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

8.2.1. If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list shall be submitted by Friday at 1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector. The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 26A, 38A, and gate 1B. If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access.

8.2.2. If a delivery vehicle must exit, and then re-enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B. The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre-clearance form. The driver shall present the pre-clearance form to the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be through any base gate.

8.3. Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM). Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller.
