PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

I. BACKGROUND: Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic (AIRLANT) is a senior type command (TYCOM) for all aircraft carriers and aviation assets used by the Atlantic Fleet. As the TYCOM, we have provided operationally ready air squadrons and aircraft carriers to the fleet for more than 50 years. AIRLANT ensures that Atlantic Fleet squadrons and aircraft carrier crews are trained and their aircraft and ships are fit for action, backed up by a complex, relentless system of spare parts and maintenance that allows no compromise in safety or readiness. AIRLANT is responsible for five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs), 54 aircraft squadrons, 1,200 aircraft and 52,000 officers, enlisted and civilian personnel with priorities focused on warfighting, people, and readiness by providing combat ready, sustainable naval air forces with the right personnel, properly trained and equipped, with a focus on readiness, operational excellence, interoperability, safety, and efficient resourcing.

The Readiness Operations Center (ROC) specifically works to create a holistic approach to assess, improve, and properly organize the efforts that keep mission-capable aircraft carriers fully ready to deploy whenever the U.S. Navy needs them. The ROC is revolutionizing the way we view, track, and improve CVN readiness which enables leaders to pull levels to effect readiness at a more rapid and proactive pace.

The ROC’s mission is to:

a. Improve aircraft carrier availability and full mission capable rates to meet training and warfighting demand.

b. Prepare and support military professionals with safely and flawlessly executing all duties onboard the aircraft carrier.

c. Accomplish missions as a team in support of aircraft carrier readiness.

d. Grow and sustain our equipment and personnel to meet all future warfighting requirements.

e. Develop, analyze, and train people and tactics for joint, networked, high-end combat against an evolving threat.

f. Evaluate the analysis of the aircraft carrier habitability program effectiveness as it relates to ship operational readiness to meet defined warfare mission areas and improve the existing living conditions.

g. Accurately define requirements and influence full resourcing with accurate data and facts through aligned and unified messaging.

II. TASK DESCRIPTION/TECHNICAL SPECS:

1. U.S. Navy Programming Support Specialists A. The government recommends fourteen full-time and one part time subject matter experts for the support listed below.

B. Background and Objective.

The Naval Aviation Enterprise Performance to Plan (P2P) efforts in improving the overall CVN readiness is in full scale development through the creation of the CVN ROC at CNAL. The ROC has been created in the wake of the success of the Aircraft Maintenance Operation Center (MOC) which over the last several years has become the gold standard in Naval Aviation in working with the Naval Sustainment System Aviation (NSS-A) in highlighting parts shortfalls, reliability issues and parts prioritization. The ROC supports the unique readiness requirements to efficiently execute measurable performance improvements in CVN readiness and support the extreme complexity of CVN sustainment and maintenance. The ROC, to include the ROC Programmers, will support both Commander, Naval Air Forces (Atlantic and Pacific).
