The performance work statement (PWS) expands on Exquadrum’s successful CHEMMS contract which was the predecessor to LAREDO.

Exquadrum support the Mission Support Division to accomplish this R&D support.
Exquadrum provides all on-site management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the LAREDO support function. Critical to this support, Exquadrum performs to the standards in the PWS and requires specialized knowledge of logistics and/or hazardous materials.

Exquadrum is also responsible for and required to implement, and maintain management control systems necessary to plan, organize, direct, and control all activities under this contract. In performing these elements, maintaining communication with the contracting officer (CO), the contracting officer’s representative (COR) and the Air Force Program Manager (AFPM), is essential to ensure timely performance on the contract.
