    C2_PWS_Version_4.0.pdf
    The Command and Control (C2) Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines requirements for contract academic training (CAT), courseware development (CWD), and distance learning (DL) services for various Air Force units. This includes support for Control and Reporting Centers (CRC), Battle Control Centers (BCC), Air Operations Centers (AOC), Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) Training Centers, and Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) missions. The contract, effective from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2025, details tasks such as providing academic and training device instruction, developing and revising classified and unclassified courseware, and maintaining a web-based Distance Learning Architecture (DLA). Key aspects include adherence to instructional system design standards, continuous access to DLA via CAC-enabled computers, and help desk support for users. The PWS also includes provisions for a Strike Mitigation Plan and outlines responsibilities for Government-furnished and contractor-furnished property. Recent revisions incorporate changes to workload estimates, unit designations, and duty positions, reflecting ongoing updates to training programs and personnel requirements.

    ACC Acquisition Management & Integration Center (AMIC) plans to award a thirteen-month, sole-source bridge contract to Advanced Concepts Enterprises, Inc. for Command and Control (C2) Contract Aircrew Training (CAT) and Courseware Development (CWD) services. This action, under FAR 6.302-1, is necessary due to a government shutdown delaying the follow-on contract. The bridge contract will run from April 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, with an anticipated award by March 31, 2026. AMIC is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry feedback on the feasibility and benefits of a shorter contract versus a thirteen-month competitive award. Foreign participation is not permitted, and responses are due by January 16, 2026. The current contract provides specialized training and staff support at various domestic and international locations.
