DRAFT Solid State Phased Array Radar System (SSPARS) Performance Work Statement (PWS) Contract Number: FA2517-15-R-8001, Attachment 1 As of: 8 March 2017 SSPARS PWS 1.0 SSPARS General Requirements: 1.1. Mission. The Solid State Phased Array Radar System (SSPARS) Program is comprised of five radar sites at the following 21st Space Wing (21 SW) Geographically-Separated Units (GSUs) in the Northern Hemisphere: 7th Space Warning Squadron (7 SWS) at Beale Air Force Base (AFB) California (CA); 6 SWS at Cape Cod Air Force Station (AFS) Massachusetts (MA); 13/213 SWS at Clear AFS Alaska (AK); Royal Air Force (RAF) Fylingdales, United Kingdom (UK); and 12 SWS at Thule Air Base (AB) Greenland (GL). Combined, these sites provide missile warning, missile defense and space surveillance mission capabilities in support of the 21st Operations Group (21 OG) missions. Radar operations are performed by military members assigned to the five GSUs. The contractor performs operations and maintenance (O&M) of installation and site requirements in support of the missions. Site Applicability: Beale AFB, Cape Cod AFS, Clear AFS, RAF Fylingdales and Thule AB 1.1.1. SSPARS Scope. Provide all non-personal services, administrative, financial, and managerial resources necessary on a continuous 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week (24/7) basis to support the five SSPARS installations/sites in the following missions and services areas: radar operations support, radar maintenance, mission computer maintenance, technical assistance, exercises and testing support, simulation trainers, training development and support, military satellite communications, communications-electronics, electronic system management, supply, fuels, Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), environmental, occupational health, medical and public health, civil engineering, vehicle and traffic management, services (food and morale/welfare activities), industrial, physical and operational security, information management, and transition (phase-in/out) activities. Includes security classification up to Top Secret (TS)/Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) level in support of site Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility (SCIF) and communications requirements. Site Applicability: SSPARS contracted services vary by site; applicability is clearly stated in individual PWS paragraphs. 1.1.1.1. Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR). A new radar is being built at Clear AFS. It is anticipated that LRDR systems and support such as radar maintenance, communications, and supply; and facility O&M such as real property/installed equipment, power, fuel and security systems will be required on this contract in support of the LRDR beginning in the approximately the FY19/FY20 timeframe and continuing through the life of the contract. The type of work that will be required is covered within the existing PWS requirements, but the level of effort cannot be determined at this time and will be separately negotiated sometime after contract award. Site Applicability: Clear AFS 1.1.1.2. Active Cyber Defense. The Air Force (AF) is moving towards active United States (US) cyber defense capabilities and implementation. It is anticipated that active cyber defense support will be required on this contract in support of these requirements in the approximately FY20/FY21 timeframe. The type of work required has not been determined at this time, but if the work is added to the contract, it will be separately negotiated sometime after contract award. Site Applicability: TBD 1.1.2. Continuance of Performance/Mission Essential Services. In a time of crisis, other services to increase security and well-being may be required on a 24/7 basis as determined by the Installation/Site Commanders/USAF Liaison Officer (USAFLO) and directed by the Contracting Officer (CO). In the event of a crisis declared by the US President and/or the Secretary of Defense, c
