PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

TCM Reconnaissance and Attack

Technical Support for Weapons and Munitions Development Effort

1.0 MISSION OBJECTIVE: This contract is to provide on-site technical support to TCM

Recon/Attack, Ft Rucker AL, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE), for aviation weapons and munitions support. Technical support of these major Army weapons system capabilities requires extensive and diverse technical expertise. The weapons/munitions will be used on all Army Aviation manned and unmanned platforms managed by TCM-RA so the contract personnel will also need a broad knowledge of the aviation platforms. The fleets of both

UAS and Apache aircraft are continuously undergoing modification, modernization, and upgrades in all configurations, including expanding weapon system capabilities. Continued growth and integration of unmanned aircraft system with manned systems is changing how the

Army fights, including when and how targets are engaged, and with a variety of munition solutions. Required contractor support includes providing technical program management, milestone support, financial management expertise, logistics, engineering programmatic expertise, schedule and cost analysis and other functional support of the DoD life-cycle acquisition program review process as well as other initiatives for all current and future weapons/munitions systems to include Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM), HELLFIRE Family of Missiles, Longbow HELLFIRE, HYDRA Family of Rockets, Viper Strike, Griffin, Advanced

Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS), Small Guided Munitions, future smart weapons, future smart rockets, digital launchers for rockets and missiles, and guided missile programs in general. This effort will include travel, interface, review and analysis of effort of the system prime Contractors, Subcontractors, government laboratories, and SETA Contractors. The effort also includes support for development of user requirements documents, warfighting analysis, and participation in Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) programs, Limited User Tests

(LUTs), Advanced Warfighting Experiments (AWEs) and Advanced Concepts and Technology

Demonstrations (ACTDs). The assessment of weapon / munition development for reconnaissance, attack, and UAS systems, the integration of the weapons/munitions onto aviation platforms, and the development/analysis of future enhancements will require a continuous, on-going effort during this task order.

1.1 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base

Year of 12 months and four (4) 12-month option years.

1.2 Level of Effort: The labor threshold level of effort (LOE) will be for 1920 hrs (1 CME) with the option to increase the LOE as identified in paragraph 1.3.

1.3 Optional Labor Increase: Within each performance year (base and option years) additional labor may be required to support ongoing and known efforts for which the priority has been elevated, or new and emerging requirements that were not forecasted at the time this PWS was developed. The Optional Labor Increase will be exercised as an optional Contract Line Item

(CLIN) within each performance year that is not funded. This optional CLIN will only be funded if the requiring government activity deems it necessary, and then only to the amount necessary to satisfy the requirement necessitating execution, not to exceed two (2) additional

Contractor Man-Year Equivalents (CME) of effort. In other words, the amount of Optional

Additional Labor over the current threshold requirement (1 CME) executed in any given performance year could range anywhere between zero additional to up to two (2) CMEs.

Overtime will not be considered as an alternative to Optional Labor Increase. The Optional

Labor Increase CLIN does not automatically renew with the execution of the next contract performance year. The agreed upon labor category rates in the awarded contract for each performance year in which the Optional Labor Increase CLIN is executed will prevail as the rate for the additional CME(s). An increase to travel requirements may be required to support the additional CME(s) and will be documented in the Optional Labor Increase CLIN. Contractor personnel qualifications for Optional Labor Increase CMEs remain consistent with the qualifications outlined in paragraph 3.0 below. Performance Requirements for Optional Labor

Increase CMEs remain consistent with the requirements outlined in paragraph 2.0 below. Upon execution of Optional Labor Increase CLIN the contractor will have 15 working days to fill the position(s) based on level of effort funded.
