The Contract Field Teams program (also called Contractor Field Teams and commonly abbreviated CFT) is a program of the United States Air Force designed to provide temporary and long-term labor support for a variety of technical service needs; maintenance and repair, depot services, inspections, modernization for contingency support for aircraft, vehicles, weapon systems and other equipment. The CFT program is currently administered by the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center at Tinker Air Force Base, and has been in place since 1951. The official USAF definition of CFT is: "A group of skilled contractor maintenance personnel who are provided with government furnished special tools, equipment, and supplies to accomplish maintenance on site at operational bases. The contractor provides supervision, people and hand tools." Under the CFT program, a series of contracts is awarded to various contractors, from which separate task orders will later be issued. To win a CFT task order the contractor must be able to demonstrate that it can assemble the necessary personnel and deploy them to the directed site within a short time frame (generally 30 days from notification). The task orders may involve recurring effort (such as augmenting a depot workforce with certain skill positions for a specified period of time, usually an entire calendar year) or nonrecurring effort (such as installation of field kits on selected systems at a military installation). Usually all the contractors are eligible to bid on any task order; however, the USAF reserves the right to award a task order to a contractor without competition. Although the program is administered by the USAF, all branches of the military are eligible to use the CFT program for their needs, as well as some civilian agencies. ==Current CFT Contractors (beginning 1 October 2008)== Eleven contractors (seven large businesses and four small businesses) were awarded contracts under the current CFT competition. This changed from the prior competition, which had no small-business set-aside and which had only four contract awards. The four small business contracts are limited to CONUS support only, while the seven large business contracts can support either CONUS or OCONUS effort.〔(Defense Link announcement )〕〔Although the article states that the second series of numbers is 08, and that AECOM was assigned contract 0002 and CSC contract 0001, later the contract numbers were redesignated as 09 and the CSC/AECOM assignments were switched to correspond to strict alphabetical order.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Contract field team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
