U.S. Army Security Assistance Training Management (SATMO) Aviation Training and Technical Assistance Related Services

ty interests, including all security assistance activities; develop allied and friendly military capabilities for self-defense and multinational operations; and provide U.S. forces with peacetime and contingency access to host nations in support of United States Army Campaign Plan and U.S. national security objectives. The intention is to award a new Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE Minimal Continental United States (CONUS) performance (Program Management) and Phase-In Period will occur. Predominantly performance will be Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). *NOTE 01: The OCONUS portion required will have contractor performance under potentially austere, physically demanding, and stressful working conditions. PROGRAM BACKGROUND U.S. Army Security Assistance Training Management (SATMO) is a subordinate command under the U. S. Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC), a Major Subordinate Command (MSC) of Army Material Command (AMC). SATMO executes the overseas portion of the U.S. Army�s Security Assistance Enterprise Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) training and technical assistance mission. SATMO plans, forms, prepares, deploys, sustains and re-deploys Continental United States (CONUS)-based (from the continental U.S.) SATs to execute OCONUS Security Cooperation missions in support of Geographic Combatant Command Theater Security Cooperation Programs and U.S. foreign policy (For the purposes herein, the terms �Security Assistance� and �Security Cooperation� mean �Foreign Military Aid.�). SATMO staff teams with active component Army, active component members of other services, reserve component Army, reserve component members of other services and DoD civilians. SATMO may use contractor services if none of these are available for a given Aviation SAT mission to support rotary wing aircraft. Because of long lead-times for non-contract personnel, and current operations tempo, SATMO anticipates an increasing requirement for contractor support, especially for Aviation skills including flying, maintenance and operational planning. Additional requirements will include the same aviation skills as previously listed but for Non-Standard Aircraft. In this case non-standard aircraft are all types not currently employed by the active component, this includes legacy air frames. In accordance with the Assistant Secretary of the Army for (Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology) (ASA (ALT)) memorandum dated 6 January 2010, all Non-Standard Aircraft training not procured through the United States Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Acquisition Center shall be referred to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Procurement) (DASA (P)), the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition Policy and Logistics) (DASA (APL)), and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Defense Exports and Cooperation) (DASA (DEC)) for review and evaluation and ASA (ALT) for approval prior to any commitment and execution by any other acquisition office. Specific skill requirements will be identified at the Task Order (TO) level. When it is known that uniformed personnel will not be available, contractor support will become the first option considered. In other cases, the more rapid reaction time of contractors may be a governing factor in using contractor teams. Aviation SATs deployed because of this contract may be a single Contractor employee, a combination of Department of Defense personnel and Contractor employee(s), or entirely Contractor employees. Aviation services will be provided during the Aviation SAT execution phase and during the post deployment stage of an Aviation SAT mission cycle. The aviation services required are divided into two (2) categories: rotary wing training related services and rotary wing technical assistance related services. The example subtasks and explanations listed below are representative of Aviation SAT rotary wing missions that SATMO may accomplish during a TO. Potential technical assistance related mission sets are Fast Rope Insertion and Extraction System (FRIES), Special Patrol Insertion and extraction system (SPIES), Hoist, External Loads, Over water, Helicopter Arial Refuel (HAR), High Altitude Aviation Training Site (HAATS), Aerial Gunnery, Aviation Special Operations, and Air Assault/Air Movement. Provide any supporting documentation reflecting the experience. Potential qualified trainers and advisors of USAACE rotary wing pilots (SP/IP, ME/MTP, AMSO, ASO), 15 series Military Occupational Specialty codes (MOS), MOS maintainers (15B,15D,15F,15G, 15H, 15N,15R, 15Y), and 15 MOS crew members (15T, 15U) with additional qualifications of standardization instructor (SI)/ flight instructor (FI), and flight engineer (FE) and personnel capable of establishing base operations training capabilities. SPECIFIC TASKS Tasks listed herein are only examples and are not to be performed unless issued on a Task Order. These are intended to provide a sampling of the types of missions (and inherent requirements) which could reasonably be expected to be resourced and executed by the contractor. The list is by no means exhaustive, either in the nature or the scope of possible missions. Training Related Services. SATMO provides Aviation training, maintenance training, and advisory services to customer-Host Nations in several different major areas.
