The 763 ESS is seeking information for potential sources with the capability to conduct a Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) under a firm fixed-price contract that supports HQ AMC and other Major Commands (MAJCOMs) operating Mobility Air Forces (MAF) current and future transport and tanker aircraft. The Government requires contractor support for threat and error identification for each flight crew position (Pilot, Loadmaster, and Boom Operator) on each Mission Design Series (MDS) aircraft (KC-10, KC-135, KC-46, C-5, C-21, C-40, C-17, C-130) and Maintenance, Aerial Port, Air Operation Center (AOC), and Aeromedical Evacuation positions. A LOSA is a formal process that requires contractor trained observers to collect safety-related data on environmental conditions, operational complexity, and air transportation specialists’ performance. The LOSA process provides a diagnostic snapshot of strengths and weaknesses that AMC can use to bolster the “health” of its safety margins and prevent degradation of AMC cargo terminal operations. A Safety Investigation Board (SIB) is formed to analyze the observation data and recommend proactive changes in identified deficient areas. Confidential data collection and non-jeopardy assurance for Air Transportation Specialists are fundamental to the LOSA process.
