1.0 Introduction and Overview

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Program Operations (AJF) owns and operates three (3) Challenger 601, one (1) Challenger 604, and six (6) Challenger 605 aircraft, for a total fleet of ten (10) Challenger jets. The fleet of Challenger jets are powered by General Electric (GE) CF34‐3A1 and CF34‐3B engines.

The FAA requires contract aircraft maintenance services to support the FAA Challenger fleet. The Contractor must meet all applicable regulations to provide maintenance services under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 135 and Part 145. FAA requires that each maintenance provider perform all covered work by following Flight Program Operations’ FAA-accepted General Maintenance Manual (GMM) and FAA-approved Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP). Continued contract support is critical to achieve the FAA missions and strategic goals of ensuring aircraft airworthiness to conduct safe flight operations, executed in accordance with the regulatory standards established by the Flight Program Executive.

The FAA Challenger aircraft are primarily based out of the FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center located at the Will Roger World International Airport in Oklahoma City Airport (KOKC).

However, these aircraft operate worldwide, and maintenance support will be required in both domestic and international airports.

2.0 Scope of Work

FAA Flight Program Operations recognized a need for a single contract for Bombardier Challenger 600 series for aircraft maintenance services. The requirements include scheduled maintenance, unscheduled/Aircraft on Ground (AOG) response, Technical Services, Engineering Support, and parts/tools rental. These services are required to address airframe, CF34‐3A1 and CF34‐3B engines, Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), and avionics. Requirements include options to lease or purchase engines and APUs as necessary.

Flight Program Operations requires discrepancy corrective actions and repair services to be performed, as required, on the FAA fleet of Bombardier Challenger 600 series aircraft over the next five (5) years.

Services required by the Government include obtaining aircraft maintenance and aircraft technical services. The response time for services is critical to return FAA owned aircraft to airworthy and mission capable condition in a timely manner. The availability of aircraft is critical to meet the mission requirements.

The Contractor or any subcontractor performing work under this contract must possess a 14 CFR Part 145 Repair Station Certificate and associated Operations Specifications listing the appropriate ratings and limitations and have access to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) engineering support.

The Contractor must possess a valid Bombardier, General Electric, and Honeywell service center authorization. The Contractor may be authorized to subcontract for services when an authorized service facility is not available at a site where services are required. Subcontract service providers must comply with applicable regulations.

Services Centers provide AOG support throughout the United States and worldwide. The Contractor must perform heavy maintenance and engine overhauls at an authorized service center.

The FAA will provide heavy maintenance work cards prior to aircraft induction. At the completion of each maintenance event, the Contractor must clean the inside and outside of the aircraft. This includes washing and polishing the aircraft to maintain appearance and condition equal to the condition of the aircraft when first delivered to the contractor for services.

The O&A tasks include but are not limited to the following:

1. Parts – Necessary engine parts or components not fixed priced in the pricing matrix or negotiated after teardown, test, and evaluation may be paid for via the O&A (a.k.a. Unscheduled Maintenance) CLIN. Note that O&A is linked to a T&M CLIN and that parts are supplied at cost plus a reasonable handling fee as defined in Section 5.4

2. Labor – Labor, or “Time,” that is not allocable to a separate CLIN on a fixed price or cost reimbursable basis, may be allocated and paid for via O&A.

3. Foreign Object Damage (FOD) – Repair of damage to the engines resulting from foreign object damage, i.e., hail, bird strikes, rocks, or other debris.

4. Damage/Loss –Repair/replacement of parts or components either damaged or lost because of negligence or accident on the part of the FAA.

5. Theft – Replacement of parts because of theft of parts or components from engines other than when in control of the contractor.

6. Acts of GOD – Repairs due to flood, earthquake, volcanic ash, lightning strikes, tornadoes, hurricanes, other local emergencies, etc.

7. Corrosion, Erosion, or Sulphation – Component repair or replacement costs attributable to damage caused by corrosion, erosion or sulphation.

9. Spares Parts Purchases – Purchase of spare parts less discount for FAA stock.

3.5.2. Over and Above (O&A) Procedures

Either the FAA or the Contractor may initiate the O&A action that meets the criteria. If the FAA determines an O&A action is required, the CO or COR will request a quote for the O&A action. Upon approval of the quote, the COR will ensure sufficient funding is available on the O&A (a.k.a. Unscheduled Maintenance) CLIN.

O&A actions must be billed on a separate Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN)—the O&A Maintenance Support” CLIN. The Contractor must receive prior authorization from the CO or their designated representatives, Contracting Officer Representative (COR), before providing O&A maintenance, parts, or support tasks.

The CO must approve all obligations. If the FAA determines an O&A action is required, the CO or COR will request a price quote. Upon approval of the price quote, the COR will ensure sufficient funding is available on the O&A CLIN. The CO or COR will provide approval to the contractor by issuing a Notice to Proceed (NTP) in FAA format or written notification by electronic mail.

When the Contractor discovers or determines an O&A action is required, the Contractor must notify the CO and COR via email no later than one calendar day after the discovery.

The communication must include a description of the required action, and an explanation as to why it is considered an O&A action.

The Contractor must submit a Not‐To‐ Exceed (NTE) price, as soon as practical. The NTE request should include estimated labor hours and a material listing with projected pricing.

This must be done by electronic mail.

The COR will review the contractor O&A request with the appropriate FAA personnel and provide a recommendation of approval or disapproval to the CO. In addition, the COR will validate that sufficient funding is available on the Over and Above Maintenance Support CLIN and provide this information to the CO. The CO will provide formal approval to the contractor via electronic mail or designate in writing the COR may provide this approval.

At a minimum, all O&A actions and quotes must identify the requested maintenance or support action, and include all pertinent information (e.g., aircraft system, engine serial number, part numbers, tool, rental fee) with supporting documentation.
