Military

The AFCAP represents an initiative to contract for base operating support and temporary construction capabilities to relieve or augment military support forces and resources involved in stability or support operations. The contract expects extensive worldwide support capabilities with minimal response time.

The scope of the AFCAP contract requires that the contractors provide the personnel, equipment, materials, services, travel and all other means necessary to provide a quick response, worldwide planning, and deployment capability. The capabilities under this contract are intended to support Air Force stability and support operations during NCA missions, which would include (but not limited to) joint or combined US military forces acting as part of or in concert with UN, NATO, multinational force, or other entities. These missions may include Air Force required support to natural disaster relief operations within and outside CONUS.

In executing the planning portion of the AFCAP contract, the contractor is required to develop a worldwide management plan based on a generic scenario for a "typical" Air Force deployment involving 10,000 supported personnel at eight locations. The generic scenario planning guidance requires that the contractor be on-site within 30 days of award of the task, and have 75 percent of the required capabilities (including 100 percent of the utilities) in place and operating within 60 days. The minimum deployment time is 180 days, with the possibility of an extended time frame and increases in support population.

The principal effort of the contract is to provide deployment capabilities generally aligned with Air Force functions associated with limited base operating support, specifically the civil engineer and services career fields. A partial list of skills typically required include: carpentry, plumbing, electrical, mechanical (e.g., refrigeration, air conditioning, heat, controls, etc.), heavy equipment, paint, power production, food service, lodging management, recreational services, housekeeping services, laundry plant operation, various utility plant operations (e.g., water, sewage, solid waste disposal, etc.), structural fire protection, emergency management, professional engineering, and project and program management.
