SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1. 0 BACKGROUND

The Phillips Research Site (PRS) was the original research and developmental laboratory operated under the United States Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC). In 1997 the Laboratory was merged into the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) as the Space Vehicle and Directed Energy Directorates.

The Air Force Research Laboratory is a scientific research organization operated by the United States AFMC which leads the way in discovery, development and integration of aerospace warfighting technologies, planning and executing the Air Force (AF) science and technology program and providing warfighting capabilities to the United States air, space and cyberspace forces.

The Space Vehicles Directorate serves as the Air Force’s “Center of Excellence” for space technology research and development. The directorate develops and transitions space technologies to provide space-based capabilities.

The Directed Energy Directorate is the Air Force’s center of expertise for directed energy and optical technologies. The Directorate develops and transitions technologies in four core technical competencies: laser systems, high power, electromagnetics, weapons modeling and simulation and directed energy and electro-optics for space superiority.

Det 8 Contracting Division (RVK) (AFRL Det 8/RVK) provides contracting support for the AFRL Space Vehicles and Directed Energy technical directorates located at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), New Mexico.

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to define the requirements necessary to ensure that expired contracts are closed in accordance with (IAW) FAR 4.804-2. The contractor shall provide all personnel and supervision necessary to perform activities associated with closeout of procurements. The contractor will be granted “query only” access to various Government data systems.
