- DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES The Air Force requires assistance in the logistics management, supplies, and services required for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) of the E-9A Weapons System, related spares, support equipment (SE) and technical data. CLS includes all maintenance, installation, and test of modifications, supply support, data, all Engineering Services, transportation of parts and components, support equipment (SE), and launch and recovery of the E-9A aircraft. Additionally the contractor will provide Sea Surveillance Operators and Telemetry System Operators for all mission flights. Normal utilization is estimated to be a fleet average of 650 hours per year (54 hours per month). The purpose of this document is to convey the scope and type of contract performance required for Contractor Logistics Support of the E-9A aircraft. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Tinker Air Force Base (OC-ALC) has a need for CLS expertise that includes Sea Surveillance Operators and Telemetry System Operators. The E-9A is a derivative of the deHavilland Aircraft Corp of Canada Dash-8 Model 102 aircraft. The E-9A is a fixed-wing, T tail, pressurized, twin turboprop engine aircraft, powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW120 engines. The mission of the aircraft is to accomplish sea surveillance coverage to locate and provide a clear "shoot area" and provide for the relay of radio frequency transmissions between airborne mission vehicles (service and support aircraft, missiles, and drone targets) and ground-based sites. Normal crew is two pilots and two system operators. An alternate passenger configuration is approved for emergency hurricane evacuations.
