Statement of Work Summary

This Statement of Work defines requirements for the 72-month inspection and maintenance of NASA's Gulfstream III aircraft (N808NA, serial number 424) at the Armstrong Flight Research Center. The contractor must be FAA 14 CFR PART 145 certified and perform all work at a single FAA-certified maintenance and repair station located within the contiguous United States that is accessible by G-III aircraft. The primary objective is to complete all required 72-month Gulfstream Computerized Maintenance Program (CMP) inspection tasks and return the aircraft to serviceable, flyable condition within 90 calendar days of delivery.

The required work includes comprehensive inspections of flight control surfaces, hydraulic systems, and structural components as specified in detailed CMP task listings (279010-576516 series and related tasks), along with removal and replacement of hydraulic filters. Optional work may include a FANS-1/A+ capability upgrade to the avionics system and 36-month, 24-month, and 12-month inspection tasks, contingent on written approval from the NASA Contracting Officer. The contractor must allow NASA personnel unrestricted observation and access, notify NASA at specific inspection milestones (after systems removal and before reinstallation), protect the aircraft's research instrumentation, immediately report any out-of-scope discrepancies requiring cost estimates, and provide certified materials documentation, detailed progress reports at minimum bi-weekly intervals, FAA Form 8130 certification, and comprehensive maintenance records upon completion.

1.0 Background

The National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) operates a Gulfstream III aircraft (N808NA) for flight research purposes at the Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC). N808NA alternates between acting as a public use aircraft and an FAA certified aircraft. Periodic maintenance and inspections, as outlined below, are required for the airplane to remain safely in service to the agency.

2.0 Objectives

The objective of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to detail the required tasks to be completed for the necessary 72-month inspection, as well as optional tasks the Government may require. Multiple scheduled maintenance items are listed separately in addition to an upgrade modification. The Contractor shall complete all work within the specified period of performance and provide proper documentation to certify the aircraft’s airworthiness, provide teardown reports at each stage, and provide full documentation of completed inspections. The end product is the return of the aircraft asset to NASA AFRC in serviceable condition for continued flight research activity within 90 days.

3.0 Scope

The Contractor shall complete all of the required tasks listed in Section 4.1, as well as any option tasks identified in Section 4.0 upon exercise of the option. The primary objectives to be completed are the 72-month inspections. Other aircraft maintenance associated with 36-month and 24-month inspections may be accomplished concurrently by NASA AFRC qualified personnel at the Contractor’s facility.

4.0 Requirements

4.1 The contractor shall fulfill the following requirements for Gulfstream III aircraft serial number 424 (FAA registration number N808N).

4.1.1 The Contractor shall be an FAA 14 CFR PART 145 certified Repair Station. All planned maintenance shall be performed at the certified maintenance & repair station. Due to the highly technical and certification requirements of this maintenance, all scheduled maintenance tasks must be performed at the same site, unless a waiver is approved by NASA for an alternate location.

4.1.2 The FAA certified maintenance & repair station shall be located within the contiguous United States. NASA personnel may have the need to assist the certified maintenance & repair station with NASA technicians and parts that may be needed during the inspection process. This location shall be accessible by G-III aircraft (airport). Transportation to and from the certified maintenance & repair station of the aircraft will be performed by

NASA AFRC.

4.1.3 The Contractor shall allow NASA designated personnel including engineers, inspectors, aircraft maintenance, and other technical experts to observe the work at any time. NASA designated personnel may include employees of NASA and employees of NASA AFRC support contracts. The Contractor shall allow NASA civil servant and/or contractor technicians to carry their own tools on site and perform any CMP cards not listed in this SOW or maintenance that they deem necessary during the duration of the scheduled inspections being completed by the Contractor. NASA personnel will coordinate with the Contractor and request permission prior to accessing and starting work on the aircraft.

4.1.4 The Contractor must notify NASA designated inspector at the following progress points for inspection/witnessing: i. After systems are removed, ii. Before and during reinstallation of aircraft systems.

4.1.5 An expected duration of maintenance inspections tasks must be estimated ahead of time, and an estimated schedule shall be provided as part of the Contractor’s quote.
