**C.1.0 INTRODUCTION**

This Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth the requirements for a Technical
Support Services

Follow-on Contract (TSSC-II) to support implementation of the Federal
Aviation

Administration\'s (FAA) Facilities and Equipment (F&E) programs in the
Aviation System Capital Investment Plan.

Throughout this document the term \"regions\" refers to the FAA\'s nine
regions, and where

appropriate, the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center and the FAA Technical
Center. However,

at some point during the performance of this Contract, the FAA may
reorganize its

Regions/Centers. The number and location of regional/center offices is
therefore subject to

change in the event of a realignment within the FAA. At the point that a
final determination has

been made regarding any potential reorganization, the FAA will notify
the Contractor so that realignment of Contractor resources may be
accomplished. The term \"Headquarters\" refers to the FAA National
Headquarters located in Washington, DC. Section J, Attachment J.001 -
\"LIST

OF ADDRESSES AND LOCATIONS,\" provides addresses, locations, and a map
of the

geographical boundaries for the FAA\'s regions, the Aeronautical Center,
and the FAA Technical Center.

**C.2.0 BACKGROUND**

The Aviation System Capital Investment Plan (CIP) delineates the
improvements in operational facilities and equipment that are planned
for implementation in the National Airspace System

(NAS) by the end of this century. It provides a description of the
specific facilities, systems, subsystems, and schedules that are in
progress, or are being planned, for NAS system expansion

or to replace current systems. The CIP includes air traffic control
computer and display systems,

flight service systems, ground‑to‑air systems (surveillance, navigation,
landing aids, and communications) interfacility communication systems,
and maintenance and operations support systems. The CIP provides the
basis for scheduling F&E installation project work throughout the FAA.
The CIP is updated annually to add new projects to be accomplished in
modernizing the

NAS, to update progress towards achievement of goals, and to reflect
necessary adjustments in

the delivery schedules of systems and subsystems. Due to the CIP\'s
annual update, changes

affecting planned F&E work efforts during the performance period of this
Contract may be

necessary. A list of prospective TSSC-II projects is contained in
Section J, Attachment J.002 -

\"LIST OF CANDIDATE PROJECTS FOR WORK RELEASES.\" However, due to annual

updating of the CIP the list is not all inclusive and TSSC-II project
requirements are subject to

change as necessary to reflect updates.

The FAA regions are responsible for assuring that the implementation
phase of the CIP programs

are properly executed. While certain new systems and equipment will be
installed by equipment manufacturers on a turnkey basis, a large amount
of implementation work will be accomplished by FAA regional personnel.
The Contractor\'s work under this Contract shall supplement the FAA\'s
regional staff, as the rate of CIP program implementation will create
work requirements exceeding

the FAA\'s planned staffing levels.

**C.3.0 SCOPE**

Except as indicated in Section H.28.0 - \"GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED
PROPERTY,\" the Contractor shall furnish and make available all
professional, technical, and support labor,

management, services, supplies, materials, data, and facilities required
to accomplish all efforts

ordered through the issuance of Work Releases, in accordance with
Section H.3.0 - \"WORK RELEASE PROCEDURES,\" for:

a\. facility site selection analysis and recommendations;

b\. site preparation;

c\. environmental remediation; and

d\. installation and test related to CIP programs.

Work Releases to be issued under this Contract will be categorized as
National Specific, Regional Specific, and Regional General. Additional
information regarding the description of the

categories of Work Releases is provided under C.3.2 - Work Release
Categories.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, no costs shall be
incurred in the

performance of this Contract which: 1) are not in accordance with the
Federal Acquisition

Regulations (FAR) Part 31; and 2) have not been authorized in accordance
with properly issued

and executed Work Releases.

The Government will initiate and authorize work under this Contract by
issuing Work Releases in accordance with procedures described in Section
H.3.0 - \"WORK RELEASE PROCEDURES.\"

Only those activities directly related to and/or in support of the NAS
may be the subject of Work Releases issued under this Contract.
Attachment J.002 - \"LIST OF CANDIDATE PROJECTS FOR WORK RELEASES,\"
contains a list of projects from which the Government will select
efforts which the Contractor shall accomplish in accordance with
properly executed Work Releases. However, the selection of projects for
which the Contractor shall be required to perform, through the issuance
of Work Releases, shall be at the sole discretion of the Government.
Additionally, Section J, Attachment J.002 - \"LIST OF CANDIDATE PROJECTS
FOR WORK RELEASES,\" shall not be considered to be all inclusive of
project work which may be accomplished under this Contract and shall be
subject to change by the Government to reflect additions and/or
deletions to the list of projects made during the annual updates to the
CIP. However, the general types of work stipulated in this SOW under
this Contract shall not change.

Efforts assigned as part of this Contract will be in accordance with
this Contract and shall be performed at any location within the 50
United States; including its possessions and territories, the District
of Columbia, and Puerto Rico as designated by the Government in a Work
Release. Work may also be performed at locations worldwide under
agreements pertaining to air transportation system facilities and
equipment in foreign countries. The Contractor\'s selection of team
members and scheduling of team travel shall be directed towards
accomplishing the aggregate of on‑site work with a minimum of travel
costs. The on‑site work required for two or more Work Releases shall be
accomplished by one team visit whenever possible. Location of efforts
shall be considered by the Contractor in scheduling work, and teams
completing work at one site shall travel to the next nearest site
whenever possible. The Contractor shall plan and execute all work in an
efficient manner, with maximum utilization of trained personnel and
overall schedule integrity. For equipment installation and test efforts,
the Contractor shall use a \"crew/team concept\" to move experienced
personnel from site‑to‑site to assure maximum utilization of knowledge
gained from prior work.

The Contractor shall maintain a management structure capable of
interfacing and coordinating with FAA operational and contract
management structures. Coordination shall consist of working with the
Contracting Officer, the Technical Officer, Associate Contracting
Officers, Associate Technical Officers, and other entities so designated
by the FAA, such as Sector Managers, to work out specific local
coordination and site/facility access requirements based on individual
Work Releases. Coordination requirements are discussed further in
Section C.3.8. Within both the FAA and Contractor organizations, there
will be designated organizational counterparts for carrying out
necessary management interfaces. Sections G.2.0 through G.9.0 describe
the overall relationship between the FAA and Contractor management
officials.

This is not a requirements contract and the Government may, at its own
discretion, utilize

in‑house capabilities or other contractual vehicles to perform any work
identified as a requirement within Section C,
Description/Specifications/Work Statement, of this Contract.

Except as specified herein, the Contractor shall furnish all material,
equipment, and services

necessary to complete all required work related to the installation
and/or modification of NAS

systems and equipment as described in the Work Releases to include
intra/inter-facility

connectivity requirements. In most instances, equipment components to be
installed, along with

major material, will be Government furnished. In all cases, Government
furnished equipment

(GFE) and Government furnished material (GFM) will be identified and
listed in Work Releases

and transferred to the Contractor using the appropriate government
forms. See Sections H.29.0 - \"GOVERNMENT PROPERTY REPORTS,\" and
H.30.0 - \"MATERIAL MANAGEMENT.\"

either national or regional

Work Releases. Regional Work Releases are further defined as regional
specific and regional

general. Information pertaining to Work Release procedures are presented
in Section H.3.0 -

\"WORK RELEASE PROCEDURES.\"

**C.3.2.1 National Category**

Work to be accomplished in this category includes projects which are
national in scope and/or cut across regional boundaries. Also included
as a national Work Release will be a Work Release

covering Contractor program management functions.

**C.3.2.2 Regional Categories**

Work to be accomplished in this category will typically consist of a
project or series of projects to

be performed within a single region. These regionally issued Work
Releases will normally fall into one of two basic types\--regional
specific and regional general.

**C.3.2.2.1 Regional Specific**

Work to be accomplished in this category will typically cover work which
is related to the implementation of specific systems or equipment to be
