PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement Managing Editor and Graphic Designer Support for Aviation Digest Professional Bulletin, the Army Aviation Information Bulletin, DOTD Website, Fort Rucker Public Website and

USAACE Strategic Communication Initiative Communication Literature Directorate of Training and Doctrine (DOTD), Doctrine Division

United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence

1.0. Background.

1.1. DOTD publishes the Aviation Branch professional bulletin, Aviation Digest and the as needed Army Aviation Information Bulletin for inclusion in its Army Knowledge Online (AKO) website. The Aviation Digest is also prepared in print format for limited distribution. In order to make these publications and other critical DOTD training products available Army wide and in order to receive and respond to requests for information from the operating force in a timely manner, DOTD has a requirement to maintain a professional and functional presence on AKO and on the Fort Rucker public website.

1.2. The Aviation Digest is a full color and illustrated quarterly publication approximately 48-52 pages in length, released in February, May, August, and November. The Aviation Digest provides the Aviation Branch a source for the timely interchange of professional views and comments, operational lessons learned, emerging doctrine, and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). The Aviation Digest includes a book review section (Turning Pages) intended to provide reviews of books of interest to the military professional and encourage professional reading and publishing. The Aviation Digest requires high quality illustration and professional rendering of photographs received from authors in support of their submitted articles. It should match the production values of other military professional journals such as ARMOR and INFANTRY (Maneuver Center of Excellence), KNOWLEDGE (U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center), and APPROACH (U.S. Navy).

1.3. The Army Aviation Information Bulletin is a one to three page document intended to disseminate time sensitive information as needed to the operating force such as instructional video teleconference (VTC) connection information and agenda items for those VTCs; links to critical aviation TTPs; and observations, insights, and lessons learned (OIL). The Army Aviation Information Bulletin also provides timely announcement of the release of Army and Joint doctrinal publications. The Army Aviation Information Bulletin requires high quality illustration and professional rendering of photographs, Power Point, and other graphic illustrations. Versions of the Army Aviation Information Bulletin may require the inclusion of classified information for release on the USAACE SIPRNET.

1.4. DOTD has a requirement to maintain a professional and functional presence on AKO. The website is a tool used to distribute critical training materials; collecting, disseminating, and integrating aviation TTPs; OIL; receive and disseminate requests for information (RFIs) from the operating force; coordinate input to critical task lists; provide a forum for collaboration on new or updated doctrinal and training publications; and announce conferences, seminars, working groups or other gatherings sponsored by or of immediate interest to DOTD. This portal will include a capability for the exchange of comments/ideas related to this training and doctrinal information. The Government will approve the AKO format used in this information exchange.

Format will permit customer access to AKO pages for depositing training information; TTP; and new/updated doctrinal information in easily accessed folders and files for review and will allow collaboration by individuals and organizations outside DOTD. A DOTD homepage, pages for the Training and Doctrine Divisions, and pages for each branch requiring a web presence will be built and updated as required to maintain currency and relevance. The web site requires high quality illustration and professional rendering of graphic illustrations and content in order to present a professional appearance with ease of access to users and the operating force.

1.5. Two mailboxes are required to receive communication from the operating force. One mailbox provides a means for the operating force to provide material for the Aviation Digest and Army Aviation Information Bulletin or to provide comments for the Readers Respond section of the Aviation Digest. A second mailbox established on the DOTD website homepage provides a link for the operating force to receive rapid response to inquiries for information retained throughout the DOTD and especially the Tactics/Lessons Learned Integration Branch. These mailboxes must be managed to provide access and necessary permissions to personnel designated to monitor and respond to inquiries.

1.6. As a part of USAACE Strategic Communications Initiatives; USAACE prepares professional literature such as tri-folds, handouts, and slides to support knowledge transfer of highly significant, short fuse information in printed or electronic (CDs) format to USAACE Professional Military Education courses, Aviation Conferences, and Working Groups. This literature requires compilation, editing, high quality illustration and professional rendering of photographs and other illustrations within the literature.

1.7. DOTD Doctrine Division prepares five to ten Army aviation doctrinal publications each year that require high quality illustration.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

5152.233-4000 AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (Feb 2014) (LOCAL CLAUSE)

Prior to submitting an agency protest, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve your concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you may also file a protest to the Headquarters (HQ), Army Materiel Command (AMC). The HQ AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the HQ AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below.

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840 or email usarmy.redstone.usamc.mbx.protests@mail.mil
