WEAPON SYSTEM SUSTAINMENT (WSS) SUPPORT SERVICES

1.0. General: Work is to be accomplished for the United States Air Force (USAF).

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform Weapon System Sustainment Support (WSS) as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).

1.1.1. The scope of this effort requires the contractor to analyze and support the Weapon System Sustainment (WSS) requirements/budget process for the USAF, who must manage their own requirements validation, prioritization, publishing, and execution of funds. The extent of the subject effort includes evaluating sustainment objectives related to supporting the current Headquarters Air Force (HAF) budget process, reducing the number of man-hours required to analyze data during the budget process. The data provided by the contractor will aide USAF in making decisions/recommendations to senior USAF leadership and support budget justification documentation to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Congress on the WSS program in support of the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) process.

1.1.1.1. This effort is for non-personal services. Functional requirements to be performed by contractor personnel in order to achieve performance objectives and complete specific deliverables described within this PWS. The performance objectives may include tasks defined as closely associated with inherently governmental functions as defined by the Federal

Acquisition Regulations Subpart 7.5 and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement at Subpart 207.503. As such, non-disclosure agreements and conflict of interest provisions apply. 48 CFR § 52.203-16, Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest, applies. The specific scope of this effort includes performance of the following activities, which are to be performed in direct support of USAF requirements:

a. WSS associated funding and requirements determination is completely dependent upon manual process for submission of Justification Books (JBooks) and President Budget (PB) data for the USAF to defend budget submissions to OSD and Congress. The contractor shall provide Government personnel direct support to plan and execute the annual WSS requirements/budgeting process, including direct support to HAF during critical/time-sensitive budgetary assessments.

1.2. Background The USAF budget requirement process differs from the Active DoD budget process. The USAFs specialized mission supports not only the Federal Government, but the State and Local sector. Because of the broad spectrum of support, the USAF requires a deviation from the active DoD process, and it is difficult and labor intensive to adequately respond to time sensitive higher headquarters and HAF budget drills with extremely limited resources.

1.2.1. The Organization has over 350 operational units across the United States in 90 Wings, 175 geographically separated units in 213 locations, responsible for maintaining over 18 major weapon systems consisting of more than 1,160 military aircraft, thousands of special and general-purpose vehicles and associated support equipment in a combat-ready condition. The ability to generate and analyze reliable logistics management data so that it can be used to shape policy and procedures has the potential to generate significant savings in logistics and operational support costs for USAF.

1.3. Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be one base year and four one-year options under FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend Services.

Report Title: Weapon System Sustainment Support Services

PSC and NAICS Code: 541611, 541618

Estimated Value: $7,200,000

Market Research Objectives

Weapon System Sustainment is continuous support of the Air Force weapon system during the Operations and Sustainment phase. There are four business process areas managed as part of Central Asset management (CAM) WSS: DPEM, CLS, SE, and TOs.

The support services being sought are multi-disciplined subject matter experts to Program Manager, Budget Analyst, Senior System Analyst, Portfolio Manager.

Work is to be accomplished for the United States Air Force (USAF), Headquarters, Air National Guard Readiness Center (HQ ANGRC), National Guard Bureau NGB/A4P, Andrews AFB, MD.

The scope of this effort requires the contractor to analyze and support the Weapon System Sustainment (WSS) requirements/budget process for the ANG, who must manage their own requirements validation, prioritization, publishing, and execution of funds. The extent of the subject effort includes evaluating sustainment objectives related to supporting the current Headquarters Air Force (HAF) budget process, reducing the number of man-hours required to analyze data during the budget process. The data provided by the contractor will aide ANG Government personnel in making decisions/recommendations to senior ANG leadership and support budget justification documentation to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Congress on the WSS program in support of the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) process.

Background

This is a new requirement for ANG.

The National Guard Bureau, NGB/A4P Resource Division budget requirement process differs from the Active AF budget process. The ANG’s specialized mission supports not only the Federal Government, but the State and Local sector. Because of the broad spectrum of support, the ANG requires a deviation from the Active AF process, and it is difficult and labor intensive to adequately respond to time sensitive higher headquarters and HAF budget drills with extremely limited resources.

The ANG has over 350 operational units across the United States in 90 Wings, 175 geographically separated units in 213 locations, responsible for maintaining over 18 major weapon systems consisting of more than 1,160 military aircraft, thousands of special and general-purpose vehicles and associated support equipment in a combat-ready condition.
