Ft. Bragg, North Carolina 28310-5000

Part I

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non- personal services contract to provide Aviation Maintenance Technical

Assistance Field Team (TAFT) in Turkey. The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the Aviation Maintenance TAFT mission as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this Task Order (TO).

1.2. Background: Turkey has requested U.S. Government (USG) assistance, through Foreign Military

Sales (FMS), to increase the rotary wing maintenance capabilities within their organic Turkish Army (TA)

Aviation units. The USASATMO Aviation Maintenance TAFT shall train Turkish Army aircraft mechanics and non-pilot maintenance personnel on unit and intermediate levels of helicopter maintenance procedures in order to improve their maintenance capabilities and operational readiness per Training Circular (TC) 3-

04.7 Aviation Maintenance Operations.

1.2.1 The Turkish Army has designated Aviation Maintenance Support Company of Battalion 21 at

Samandira Army Air Base in Istanbul as the initial unit to undergo the Maintenance Enhancement Program.

Battalion 21 consists of one company of 10 x UH-60L aircraft, one company of 6 x CH-47D aircraft, and the Aviation Maintenance Support Company (similar to a U.S. Army Aviation Intermediate Level

Maintenance (AVIM) company). Most Battalion 21 Maintainers have completed Military Occupational

Speciality (MOS) qualification courses at Fort Eustis, Virginia, but have little actual experience performing maintenance within the unit. Battalion 21 has identified production control, quality control, and scheduled maintenance management as the priority improvement areas.

1.3 Objectives: Focus training and mentorship on further development of skills and awareness required for successful AVIM training for Battalion 21. Major tasks were selected based on the past Mobile Training

Team’s (MTT) after action report (AAR) and Office of Defense Council (ODC) assessment, guidance and intent, observed needs from previous training, higher headquarters guidance and anticipated operational employment requirements. Development of standard operating procedures and the “train-the-trainer” model are continuous focus points. Desired end state is Battalion 21 having the organic capability to conduct effective AVIM operations.

1.4 Scope: TAFT will provide a tailored training framework and the teaching, coaching and mentoring to inculcate and close the gaps in critical areas of knowledge, skills and capability required to provide aviation intermediate level maintenance (AVIM) training for Battalion 21’s aircraft fleet of helicopters and support long term Security Assistance (SA) engagement. Services include training focused on all aspects of the

UH-60L and CH-47D programs including weapons systems and ammunition, avionics, engine, airframe and logistics support for both aircraft types. Instruction and mentorship on general aviation maintenance practices will include foreign object damage (FOD) prevention, tool accountability, quality control/production control, technical inspection procedures, and maintenance records management.

Additionally, the TAFT will train unit maintenance personnel on the installation of UH-60L Inlet Barrier

Filters and re-installation of parts previously submitted for "repair and return". The Contractor shall sustain current proficiency in AVIM competencies and skills, and advanced skills, and validate the battalion’s

Sample PWS USASATMO Aviation Maintenance Training Turkey (Notional) Page 2 of 21 ability to perform the entire range of operational support mechanisms required of Turkish Ministry of

Defense for integration into the international operational spectrum and employment in crisis areas into the future. Additionally, the contractor shall train the Battalion 21 soldiers to be able to instruct the material themselves (“train-the-trainer”) and provide training to logistics, staff, and support elements on the unique needs of an aviation unit. Focus is on instilling an ethos of maintenance and logistics/property management.

1.4.1. Pre-Deployment Site Survey (PDSS) (one (1) week). The team chief (and up to one additional team member) shall deploy to Istanbul, arriving on a Saturday or Sunday in order to perform the site survey during the seven-day period commencing on a Monday through Friday of the week, and returning on the

Saturday or Sunday. This survey shall occur from three (3) to five (5) weeks before the TAFT deployment.

1.4.2. Training Development (2-weeks). The contractor will begin preparing training materials, Program of

Instruction (POI), and initiate other pre-deployment actions upon completion of the PDSS. Copies of USG and Turkish Army training materials shall be provided after task order award to use as a framework for course development.

1.4.3. Security Assistance Training Team Orientation Course (SATTOC) (1-week). The team shall report to

Building 3-1322, Old Stable Lane, Fort Bragg, NC to attend the five-day SATTOC after training development and immediately prior to deploying.

1.6.16.1.3. The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its access to non-public or proprietary information belonging to others.

1.6.16.2. Definitions.

Sample PWS USASATMO Aviation Maintenance Training Turkey (Notional) Page 10 of 21

1.6.16.2.1. The term “Contractor” herein used in section 1.6.16., Organizational Conflict of Interest, means:

(a) the organization (hereinafter referred to as "it" or "its") entering into this agreement with the

Government; (b) all business organizations with which it may merge, join or affiliate now or in the future and in any manner whatsoever, or which hold or may obtain, by purchase or otherwise, direct or indirect control of it; (c) it’s parent organization, if any and any of its present or future subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, or holding companies, and; (d) any organization or enterprise over which it has direct or indirect control now or in the future.

1.6.16.2.2. The term "proprietary information" for purposes of section 1.6.16., Organizational Conflict of

Interest, means any information considered so valuable by its owners that it is held secret by them and their licensees. Information furnished voluntarily by the owner without limitations on its use, or which is available without restrictions from other sources, is not considered proprietary.

1.6.16.3. Organizational Conflicts of Interest Examples. The following examples illustrate situations in which organizational conflicts of interest may arise. These examples are not all inclusive.

1.6.16.3.1. Biased Ground Rules. This type of conflict may arise in situations where a company sets the ground rules for a future competition. For example, when a Contractor develops requirements then competes to provide products or services to satisfy those requirements, thus obtaining a competitive advantage.

1.6.16.3.2. Impaired Objectivity. This type of conflict may exist where a Contractor’s obligations under a contract require objectivity, but another role of the Contractor casts doubt on its ability to be truly objective. An example of this type of conflict is where a Contractor’s work under one contract entails evaluating itself, its affiliates, or its competitors under a separate contract.

1.6.16.3.3. Unequal Access to Information. This type of conflict may arise when a Contractor has access to nonpublic or proprietary information as part of its performance under a contract that gives it an unfair advantage in a competition for a later contract.

1.6.16.4. General Constraints. The provisions of FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant

Conflicts of Interest, concerning organizational conflicts of interest govern this contract. Potential conflicts may exist in accordance with FAR 9.505-1, Providing Systems Engineering and Technical Direction, through 9.505-4, Obtaining Access to Proprietary Information. In this regard, the Contractor is responsible for identifying any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest to the KO that arise as the result of performance under this contract. To avoid or mitigate a potential conflict related to performance under this contract, the KO will impose appropriate constraints such as the constraints discussed below. Since it is impossible to foresee all of the circumstances that might give rise to organizational conflicts of interest, the constraints discussed below are not all inclusive and the KO may impose constraints other than, or in addition to, the constraints listed below.

1.6.16.4.1. The Contractor agrees that if it provides, under a contract or task order or delivery order, systems engineering and technical guidance for systems and programs, but does not have overall contractual responsibility, it will not be allowed to be awarded a contract or task or delivery order to supply the system or any of its major components or be a subcontractor or consultant to a supplier of the system or any of its major components (FAR 9.505-1).

1.6.16.4.2. The Contractor agrees that if it prepares complete specifications for non-developmental items or assists in the preparation of work statements for a system or services under a contract or task order or delivery order, it will not be allowed to furnish these items, either as a prime Contractor, a subcontractor or as a consultant (FAR 9.505-2).

1.6.16.4.3. The Contractor agrees that it will neither evaluate nor advise the Government with regard to its own products or activities. The Contractor will objectively evaluate or advise the Government concerning products or activities of any prospective competitors (FAR 9.505-3).

Sample PWS USASATMO Aviation Maintenance Training Turkey (Notional) Page 11 of 21

1.6.16.4.4. The Contractor agrees that if it gains access to proprietary information of other companies, it will exercise diligent effort to protect such proprietary information from unauthorized use or disclosure

(FAR 9.505-4). In addition, the Contractor agrees to protect the proprietary information of other organizations disclosed to the Contractor during performance of this contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent Contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. The Contractor also agrees that if it gains access to the proprietary information of other companies it will enter into written agreements with the other companies to protect their information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and to refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished. The Contractor shall provide copies of such agreements to the KO.

1.6.16.4.5.
