Questions and Answers

1. Does Coast Guard want to be able to touch real world cables for troubleshooting or do it virtually? Yes, real world cables are ideal.

2. What steps are they expecting to do for maintenance? Students will perform an operational check of the system in question with an MPC card as guidance to determine what fault is present and then proceed to troubleshoot by using schematics and a Fluke meter to look for opens, shorts, etc.

3. How much current is available for 115VAC, 400Hz power? 200 Amps

4. Is 208VAC, 3-Phase, 60 Hz power available in the sim building? Yes 208 VAC, 3 phase, 60 Hz is available with 60 amps. 28 VDC is also available with 200 Amps.

5. How much real test equipment do they want to use versus virtual test equipment? Real test equipment is preferable, however, it is probably more cost effective to use simulated test equipment as long as students are able to still turn the knobs, switches, and progress through menus seeing the desired results simulated. For avionics purposes, the USCG requires a

AN/USM 708A ramp test set, a Druck pitot/static test set and the Fuel Calibration set.

a. How does Coast Guard expect to use simulated test equipment? See above.

b. Will need photos of any test equipment we need to build. Photos and possibly technical manuals may be provided on request.

6. What equipment has to be “real” panels and boxes vs. what is desired on the virtual trainer?

All panels and boxes could be simulated as long as value as a prop can still be attained by having them look and act as the real item, i.e., switches, knobs, instruments are functional and provide the same simulated results or indications.

7. What is the environment like that the simulator will go into? The High Bay Training Area in building 21 is large enough to house a fully assembled HC-144 and serving equipment. It does not have a deluge system and therefore cannot house fueled aircraft.

8. Is that environment climate controlled? The High Bay Training Area in building 21 is not air conditioned. Cooling is provided by giant overhead fans. Temperatures in the summer with the doors closed most likely approach into the low to mid 80s. There is a radiant heating system overhead which keeps the space pleasant during the winter.

9. Could we put an air conditioning unit outside and run conduit to the simulator? Or does it need to be self-contained with a conduit drain? Yes an outside AC would work, however, the conduit would be lengthy. If self-contained, the drain would be lengthy.

10. What is the state of the deicing boots on the donor? All components were preserved via what looks like vacuum sealed foil bags inside of wooden crates. The assumption based on preservation method would be that the deice boots are in good condition if installed.

11. Will contract winner receive an actual HC-144 throttle quadrant that is specific to the Coast

Guard configuration of the CN-235? Unknown. Current throttle quadrant in the hull is not a match.

12. SOW mentions a “Functional test of the wing.” How is this test defined? This is supposed to say “Functional test of the wing flaps”. Perform adjustment/test of flaps IAW CGTO 1C-144A-

2-27-1, 27-51-00.

a. Are their unspecified systems in the wing that are desired to be tested? No

Solicitation 70Z02321RDAM00200 Amend 8

13. What type of emergency battery does the HC-144B have? The HC-144 has two Back-Up

Batteries which provide 24 VDC (5 ampere-hours) each to certain avionics systems during engine starts or when the aircraft loses power. During engine starts they prevent avionics systems from losing volatile memory due to the large current draw of the starter generators.

14. Does Coast Guard want to do the emergency battery test on a physical battery replica or will virtual work? Virtual will work.

15. How is brush block test defined, Propeller heat, generator/alternator brush blocks? Complete propeller deice checks IAW MPC 306101.0.

16. How is ‘dry testing’ defined for this simulator? No fluids at all? Yes, in reference to a dry calibration of the fuel system there would be no fluid.

17. Which pieces of equipment does the Coast Guard need to have fail? All types of failures?

Only specific failures? Most failures in the avionics/electrical class are opens and shorts in wiring. The SOW is being updated to reflect the required number of faults/system for both

AMT and AET. Instructor Training Books are also being added to the list of available references which include various possible scenarios.

18. Are aural cues required? Such as engine sounds, prop sounds and so forth. Prop and engine aural cues are not needed, however, cockpit aural cues such as tones for outer marker, middle marker, inner marker, EGPWS system alerts, and TCAS system alerts are needed.

19. How is hydrostatic test on the oxygen system done – actual removal of the oxygen bottle or will virtual removal suffice… or both? Hydrostatic test is not required. Not taught. No need for oxygen bottles.

20. What tests does the Coast Guard run on the HC-144B’s engines? Engine run ups are not required for training purposes in 144 C-school classes.

21. Are functional tests allowed to be done on virtual instruments? Yes

22. Are virtual antennas allowed as replacements for real ones or do they want physical antennas replacements? Virtual antennas are acceptable.

23. If no one is being allowed to be on top of the fuselage, then will only the lower antennas be acceptable for R and R. Removal and replacement of antennas is not physically done in the course. It is enough to troubleshoot to the component or wire.

24. Does the Coast Guard want the windshield wipers to operate for wiper functionality test? No.

25. Should anti-icing equipment actually heat up during functionality test? No for safety reasons, however, it would be nice to have a local visual indicator at the component.

26. Where are removable access panels located in the floor? Preferably all floor panels should be removable for access.

27. What tail number should be used for the simulator? 2395

28. Which LRU should the students be able to conduct Remove and Replace procedures on?

R&R requirements are in section C.3.3 of the SOW and was updated after receiving these questions for better clarity.

Is this to be a physical task? Yes If so, is a dry system desired to prevent spilling? (A COTS HPU will be installed to run the desired hydraulics systems if so) Yes a dry system is preferable.

Is there a list of LRU’s that are desired to be R&R? In progress.

29. In the location where this simulator will be installed, is there enough room for a full wing? Full tail? Yes, the high bay training area was designed and built to hold a fully assembled HC-144.

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

THE PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY

OF

HC-144B MAINTENANCE TRAINING UNIT

Prepared by

U.S. Coast Guard Acquisition Directorate

Office of Aviation Acquisition

(CG-9312)

November 12, 2020 (Modified May 19, 2021)

Version 1.1

C.1. GENERAL

C.1.1. Scope

The U. S. Coast Guard (USCG) Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) Aviation Acquisition

Program (CG-9312) is in need of an HC-144B Maintenance Training Unit (MTU). The MTU will support the operational fleet by providing the skills, knowledge and practical experience required to maintain and troubleshoot the Avionics, Electrical, Airframe and Engine/Powerplant systems and associated equipment installed on the HC-144B aircraft. The MTU will provide

Avionics Electrical Technician (AET) and Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Class “A” and Class “C” School students the ability to receive initial and advanced, hands-on, maintenance training instruction in a realistic setting that is reflective of USCG technical manuals allowing students to learn basic and sophisticated techniques of aircraft troubleshooting and repair. The

MTU device shall be capable of meeting the Enabling Learning Objectives (ELO), critical tasks, and USCG identified faults associated with the AET and AMT “A” and “C” School training requirements. The Contractor shall convert an existing CN-235-100 hull into an integrated HC-

144B MTU with a combination of hands-on, real aircraft hardware and components as well as virtual/simulated components. All virtual/simulated systems shall accurately reflect the real/actual system, and the systems need to respond correctly to inputs from switches, circuit breakers, power levers, condition levers and fire handles.

C.1.2. Background

The USCG needs a HC-144B MTU at the Aviation Technical Training Center (ATTC) in

Elizabeth City, North Carolina, to provide training for HC-144B AMT and AET “A” and “C”

School students. In 2013, the MRS Program Office purchased an Airbus CN-235-100 aircraft hull to be outfitted as an HC-144 maintenance and avionics training aid.

USCG Class “A” school is initial, basic, entry-level aviation training and “C” School is advanced aircraft systems training for field personnel. AET and AMT Class “C” School provides advanced training for individuals that have been assigned to operational units for at least 6 months. AETs and AMTs typically perform the following tasks:

• AETs inspect, service, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair avionics systems that perform communications, navigation, collision avoidance, target acquisition, and automatic flight-control functions. In addition, AETs inspect, service, maintain, troubleshoot and replace aircraft batteries, AC and DC power generation, conversion and distribution systems, as well as the electrical control and indication functions of all airframe systems, including hydraulics, flight control, landing gear, fuel, environmental control, power plant, drive train, anti-ice, and fire detection.

• AMTs inspect, service, maintain, troubleshoot and repair aircraft engines, auxiliary power units, propellers, rotor systems, power train systems, and associated airframe and systems-specific electrical components. AMTs service, maintain and repair aircraft fuselages; wings; rotor blades; fixed and movable flight control surfaces; aircraft bleed air, hydraulic and fuel systems.

The USCG has a CN-235-100 aircraft hull and major components at ATTC. The landing gear and center wing boxes are installed on the hull however, flight control components like wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, ailerons, elevators, flaps, and rudder are not installed but are located at ATTC. Additional items onsite include:

Cockpit flight controls - yokes, throttle quadrants, and rudder pedals

Hydraulic system components - reservoir, pumps, valves, lines, accumulators etc.

1 engine, 1 propeller, and all accessory and auxiliary components required for mounting the engine to the airframe.

Clarification Statement – the USCG does NOT need a MTU that is completely wired with fully functional systems; the MTU only requires certain structural ‘designated areas’ to be visually and physically accurate to the real/actual components, parts and systems. The areas that are not specifically identified as a ‘designated area’ (C.3.1.6) are not required to meet traditional design/wiring and system functionality requirements of the HC-144B aircraft. An ideal solution would provide tactile components including but not limited to throttles, flaps, yokes, rudder, elevator, ailerons, and trim controls that are integrated into the Fault Isolation System (FIS) and interact with simulated or virtual replicas of cockpit, avionics, and other components/systems.

Students must have the ability to safely navigate throughout the physical aircraft as well as the virtual environment, including walking around the aircraft to locate specific panels and components (either real, simulated, or virtual) and to perform required maintenance steps.

Students will open actual panels, disconnect real and/or simulated, and/or virtual cables, observe component operation (either real, simulated, or virtual) in both normal and faulted conditions, and perform troubleshooting and removal/replacement actions. Virtual and/or simulated test equipment required to perform maintenance actions must be available for student operation with test equipment measurements accurately reflecting the state of the simulated aircraft system.

C.1.3. Terms and Assumptions

The following assumptions apply to this SOW:

The term “real” describes actual, physically existing hardware components and parts.

The term “simulated” describes components and parts that are not real and are replicas of the actual physical components. Simulated components will be the same size and shape of the real component and part and will be within 10% of actual component weight for

Remove & Install (R&I) fidelity.

The term “virtual” describes systems with components and parts that do not physically exist but are made by software to appear like the physical components and parts.

The MTU will be ready for training within 24 months from contract award.

Warranty period will be a minimum of 12 months commencing upon signing of the DD-

250.

ATTC will provide USCG personnel to oversee hull modifications, assembly (at contractor facilities if applicable) and delivery.

If hull modifications and assembly are completed at the contractor’s facility, the contractor shall provide office space for the USCG personnel to work when visiting the facility.

The HC-144B’s mission/sensor system (Minotaur) functionality will have simulated

RADAR (APS 143) and Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) inputs.

The terms “operational” and “functional” in relation to the word “test” carry the same meaning in this document and are interchangeable with each other. Both terms are used to remain consistent with and provide clear traceability to USCG engineering and maintenance documentation.

The term “operational check” refers to an "in-motion" or "power on" test for determining that an item of equipment will operate at a specified performance level.

The term “visual check” refers to checking an item of equipment for cleanliness, need for lubrication, or painting and deterioration of parts or materials.

The term “maintenance inspection” includes daily/preflight, segment, safety, service, special, and numbered inspections. These inspections vary in scope and frequency of performance according to types of aircraft.

For computers/software - the contractor shall harden the computers to the Risk

Management Framework (RMF).

The USCG will provide all applicable documents in Table 1: HC-144B MTU References.

Tasks and procedures described in this SOW will be in accordance with (IAW) the applicable referenced USCG Aircraft Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS) MPC.

With the exception of the systems listed in the Installation Requirements section of this

SOW (C.3.1.2), the USCG does not require a certain percentage of the MTU systems to be real.

C.2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

C.2.1. The Contractor shall safeguard Government Furnished Information (GFI) in accordance with distribution statement and notices provided on the references.

The documents listed in Table 1: HC-144B MTU References form a part of this SOW.

NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time- consuming litigation.

OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative

Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum.

Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the

Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the

U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the

Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program.

Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e).

Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting

Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202-372-3695.
