1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND: Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Center (NATEC), Fleet Readiness Center

South West (FRCSW), and the F/A-18 and EA-18 Fleet Support Team (FST) provides Engineering Technical

Services (ETS) in support of Naval Aviation weapons systems throughout their sustainment life-cycle. In addition to aircraft programs, NATEC, FRCSW, and FST are responsible for ETS services in support of all associated systems and equipment. The objective of ETS is to develop the technical skills and abilities of Navy and Marine Corps military and Department of Defense (DOD) civilian personnel, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) personnel who are responsible for the operation and maintenance of their assigned aviation weapon system/program. Weapon system maintenance, along with maintenance on associated support equipment, is essential for its successful performance in a military role and is therefore indispensable for both current deployments and national security. It is essential that aircraft be mission-ready and able to perform their military tasking with the minimum possible failures or faults.

Insufficiently trained military or civilian personnel exist within the Government to perform the necessary tasks, particularly those on new or modified systems.

1.2 SCOPE: NATEC, San Diego, CA., FRCSW North Island, CA., and FA-18 FST, San Diego, CA. require

Contractor Engineering Technical Services (CETS) to be provided to various Fleet shore activities for the purpose of informing, instructing, and training Navy, Marine Corps military and DOD civilian personnel to be proficient in the installation, operation, and maintenance, to include technical guidance and advice to resolve unusually complex technical problems. Contractor Field Services (CFS) technical expertise is categorized by Aviation Core Disciplines:

Avionics (AV), Airframe (AF), and Electrical (EL). This acquisition is for CFS type of CETS in support of the F/A-

18 and EA-18G aircraft, AN/ALQ-249(V) Next Generation Jammer, and AN/APG-65/65(V)/73/79 Active

Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) RADAR, associated systems, and support equipment listed in paragraph 3.3 of the Statement of Work (SOW).
