STATEMENT OF WORK

MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT (MHE) ENDURING MAINTENANCE AND

REFURBISHMENT INITIATIVE

USS AMERICA (LHA-6) — AIRCRAFT INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE

DEPARTMENT (AIMD)

COMMANDER, NAVAL SURFACE FORCES PACIFIC (CNSP)

NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO, CA 92135

1.0 Background: USS AMERICA (LHA-6) Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department

(AIMD) employs a suite of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) to move aeronautical components, engines, support equipment, and palletized material in support of intermediate-level maintenance and flight operations. These assets are essential to aviation logistics throughput, stores onload/offload, and hangar bay and flight deck material movement. Sustained operational use, shipboard environmental exposure, and deferred depot-level maintenance have degraded the material condition of seven (7) assets to the point that they are non-operational or unable to hold current weight-handling certification. Ship's force personnel are qualified to operate this equipment but are neither trained nor certified to perform depot-level overhaul, load testing, or weight-handling certification. Refurbishment of these assets during the upcoming Docking

Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) will restore full MHE capability, extend equipment service life, and prevent critical work stoppages in the aviation maintenance and supply chain.

2.0 Scope: The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, management, tools, materials, parts, transportation coordination, test equipment, and certification services necessary to restore seven (7) MHE assets to full operational capability. Work encompasses induction and material condition inspection, corrective maintenance and overhaul, corrosion treatment and repainting, operational and rated-load testing, and Weight Handling Equipment (WHE) certification. All work shall be performed off-ship at the Contractor's facility and all refurbished assets shall be returned to Government-designated storage (estimated January 2027). This is a non-personal services requirement.

2.1 Equipment to be Refurbished:

Item Equipment Type / Nomenclature Capacity Qty Remarks

1 Electric Forklift (EE-rated) 4,500 lb 3 Battery-powered;

shipboard/hangar use

2 Rough Terrain Forklift 4,000 lb 2 Diesel; pier and flight-line use

3 Rough Terrain Forklift 10,000 lb 1 Diesel; heavy-lift support

4 Forklift, Model LK20SCB 20,000 lb 1 Heavy-lift; extensive refurbishment anticipated

TOTAL ASSETS 7

2.2 Specific make, model, and serial numbers shall be confirmed at induction and documented on the induction inspection report. Assets shall be inducted in “as-is” condition and may not be operational at time of receipt.
