PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

C1. This is a non-personal services contract to provide Rotary Wing Flight Training, Flight Training Support, and Flight Training Service Support for both aircrew and non-aircrew personnel, at Fort Rucker Alabama. 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.

C1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, clothing, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform on-going, continuous services for Rotary Wing Flight Training, Flight Training Support, and Flight Training Service Support 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 (Attachment 1), Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). In the event of disparity between this section and the Air Force Performance Work Statement the requirement will take precedence for Air Force requirement only.

C1.2 Background: Two Core Functions of the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE), at Ft. Rucker, Alabama are to provide initial entry rotary wing flight training to newly appointed Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers and functional training for qualified aviators. Based on past Government studies for determining the most efficient and cost effective means to provide highly technical and specialized training, Fort Rucker has contracted various aspects of the undergraduate initial entry rotary wing and graduate rotary wing flight training services since 1959.

C1.3 Objectives:

C1.3.1 Aircrew Training: The Contractor Flight Training Instructor Pilot personnel shall conduct flight training and flight training device instruction IAW approved syllabi, Flight Training Guides, and Performance Requirements Summary (Attachment 1) and shall brief, instruct, and debrief each flight/training device mission. The Contractor Academic Instructor personnel shall conduct classroom academic lectures IAW approved syllabi, Lesson Plans, and Performance Requirements Summary (Attachment 1) and provide academic testing and evaluation. The Contractor shall evaluate and record student performance into Government approved Student Record Forms, the Resident Individual Training Management System (RITMS) (or equivalent), and the Centralized Aviation Flight Records System (CAFRS) (or equivalent) IAW applicable student management regulations and policies. Contractor shall use the USAACE designated resource management system, i.e. Aviation Resource Training System (ARTS), for resource scheduling to include (but not limited to); aircraft, stage-fields, refuel, instructor pilots, and students. In addition to resource scheduling the Contractor shall use the system for student grade input for all stages of training.

C1.3.2 Training Support: The Contractor shall conduct analysis of academic/flight/training device performance;

schedule academic lectures, training devices, and flight missions; manage copy services of courseware publications;

manage currency of publications in academic classrooms, training device/flying briefing rooms, and flight planning area; manage accountability, maintenance, and security of Government Equipment (GE) and janitorial services for the Contractor occupied Government Facilities (GF). (CDRL 003, 004, 005)

C1.3.2.1 (See Air Force Performance Work Statement (PWS))

C1.4 Period of Performance:

The period of performance shall be for a three (3) month Phase-In period, 12-month Base Period and eight (8) 12-month option periods. The Period of Performance reads as follows:

Phase-In (3 month): 1 Jul 16 – 30 Sep 16 Base Period (12 months): 1 Oct 16 – 30 Sep 17 Option Period 1 (12 months): 1 Oct 17 – 30 Sep 18 Option Period 2 (12 months): 1 Oct 18 – 30 Sep 19 Option Period 3 (12 months): 1 Oct 19 – 30 Sep 20

C1.5 Personnel Staffing: Table 1.1 provides a listing of what the Government considers to be the minimum number of personnel required to perform work under this contract. However, the positions and numbers shown are not intended to either limit or prescribe the Contractor’s organizational structure. Accordingly, the Contractor shall determine its organizational structure and quantity of management and personnel to ensure compliance with the specifications of this contract and the documents listed in Section C-6. A Lean Business Approach and flat organization, as opposed to a military hierarchy, are key staffing factors.

C1.5.1 Key Personnel

C1.5.1.1 The personnel marked below as “Key Personnel” are considered essential to the work being performed under this contract. Before removing, replacing, or diverting any of the listed or specified personnel, the Contractor must: (1) Notify the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) reasonably in advance; (2) submit justification (including proposed substitutions) in sufficient detail to permit evaluation of the impact on this contract; and (3) obtain the Contracting Officer's written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Contractor deems immediate removal or suspension of any member of its management team is necessary to fulfill its obligation to maintain satisfactory standards of employee competency, conduct, and integrity, the Contractor may remove or suspend such person at once, although the Contractor shall notify Contracting Officer prior to or concurrently with such action.

C1.5.1.2 The list of key Personnel may, with the consent of the contracting parties, be amended from time to time during the course of the contract to add or delete personnel.

C1.8.3.2 Reserved.

C1.8.3.3 The Contractor shall comply with all base and local procedures for installation access. Removal from post of a Contractor employee IAW the above shall not relieve the Contractor from the requirement to meet all of the terms and conditions of the contract.

The Contractor is responsible for presenting personnel that can pass and maintain a NAC which shall be a condition of employment under this contract.

C1.8.5.1 Common Access Card (CAC) Requirement: Employee CAC badges shall be issued prior to any employee performing work under this contract. FAR 52.204-9 implements Homeland Security Presidential Directive -12 (HSPD-12) and Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201-2 (FIPS PUB 201-2), which mandates that all federal employees and Contractor personnel with routine physical access to a Federally-controlled facility be issued a common identification with specific security, registration and identity proofing objectives. Specifically, Fort Rucker meets this requirement by using the Common Access Card (CAC) for all such federal employees and Contractors.

C1.8.5.2 Common Access Card (CAC) Badges: Each Contractor employee will be required to obtain a CAC issued by the Government. Each Contractor employees' name, social security number, date of birth and email address will be entered into a database (by the COR) called the Contractor Verification System (CVS). CVS is an automated system to allow Contractors' personal information to be verified when applying for a new or renewal Government identification card referred to as the CAC. Once the Contractor employee's information is registered, the COR will electronically forward the form to the individual Contractor. Each Contractor employee is required to electronically fill out the CAC request form. Once the form is properly filled out, the COR will verify that they are authorized and required to have a CAC. The Contractor employee will be directed to go to the designated in-processing facility and obtain the CAC.
