SARDO Management System

The Alaska Air National Guard, 176 MSG/MSC, is conducting market research to identify potential sources (including large business, 8(a), veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUB Zone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns) with the capacity and technical capability necessary to successfully perform the requirements described herein. The subject requirement is to provide a Search and Rescue Duty Officer (SARDO) Management System for the 176 Operations Group (OG). The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control, except as defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

The 176 Operations Group (OG) supports a 24/7 alert for the 11th Air Force and the state of Alaska. To fulfill alert requirements HH-60, HC-130 and Guardian Angel (Pararescue) crews are pulled from squadrons to support the alert. Additionally, Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE) and maintenance provide personnel to support alert requirements. To manage this alert the 176 OG Commander delegates authority to a Search and Rescue Duty Officer (SARDO) who approves and directs mission execution. As such, the SARDO must track who is on alert daily, mission responses, and write post mission reports. To meet this tasking, the 176 OG requires a system to manage 11th Air Force Alert manning, assets, track mission execution, post mission analysis and reporting. The intent of this system is to streamline data entry and management to increase accuracy and decrease time taken to conduct inputs.
