PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Wind Tunnel Rental/Training United States Army Operational Test Command

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide hourly rental of a Vertical Wind Tunnel (VWT) facility and VWT instructor training of USAOTC/ABNSOTD free fall jumpers and mission partners. The Government shall 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, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform training/coaching of military free fall jumpers and provide a VWT facility as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Use of the VWT allows test parachutists to training on procedures in a controlled environment prior to using those procedures in actual skydiving. Wind tunnel training is critical to the USAOTC Airborne and Special Operations Directorate (ABNSOTD) test parachutist program and is one of the safest ways to train Military Free Fall (MFF) jumpers. The vertical wind tunnel allows coaches to work with jumpers and fine tune their air skills and body position. This allows the jumpers to “fly” for an extended period of time. Wind tunnel training also allows ABNSOTD to prepare its MFF jumpers for MFF School. It is a vital tool that greatly enhances the ABNSOTD MFF program.

1.3 Objectives: The major objective of this requirement is for the vendor to provide a facility and training expertise to allow ABNSOTD’s MFF jumpers to prepare for test parachutist events, develop and maintain MFF skills, and prepare for MFF school.
