    The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the required services for the maintenance and servicing of the Combat Arms Training Maintenance Range (CATM) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The contractor is tasked with providing all necessary management, labor, tools, materials, and equipment for the maintenance activities, which must occur quarterly. Key services include servicing the bullet trap and dust collection unit, ensuring electrical systems are functional, maintaining targets, and managing control room systems. Additionally, the contractor must submit detailed reports after each service, adhere to specified operational hours, comply with safety and security protocols, and maintain cleanliness throughout the work area. Emergency medical services, fire protection, and general security support will be provided by the government. The contractor must manage Operational Security (OPSEC) and employee safety under the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program, ensuring proper procedures are in place for workplace hazards. Compliance with the Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) policies is mandatory, addressing the responsibility towards preventing human trafficking. This PWS establishes a comprehensive framework for contract performance, underscoring the importance of service quality and regulatory adherence.
    This document outlines a Single Source Justification for a contract related to the maintenance of the Combat Arms Training Maintenance (CATM) range systems. The contracting activity, AFLCMC/PZICC, emphasizes the need for inspection and repair services specifically on proprietary Action Target systems, which include control room computers, bullet traps, and related equipment. The justification states that Action Target is the sole provider capable of performing the necessary work due to proprietary rights associated with the existing systems. Attempts to contact other vendors for similar services were unsuccessful as they lack the ability to maintain this specific range equipment. The contracting officer determined, per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, that a single source is warranted in this case. Future efforts will include monitoring for potential new vendors to ensure equitable pricing and increased competition. This document serves to validate the decision-making process leading to the sole-source award, reflecting the complexities often involved in government procurement while maintaining a focus on adherence to regulations and operational needs.
