Statement of Objective (SOO)

Windows 10 Upgrade for the USCG-ALC Engine Test Cell, Dynamometer Purchase and Replacement and

Annual Technical Support Services

70Z03822QK0000004 – Attachment 2

Introduction and Instructions

This SOO describes the objectives and desired end result for the installation of the United States Coast

Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) Engine Test Cell specific software and instrumentation for Windows 10 Secure Host Baseline compliant upgrade; or most current version available, replacement and installation of a new water-based Dynamometer to be certified for use with the end system, and annual Technical Support Services.

Offerors shall use this SOO with applicable portions of a Request for Quote (RFQ) as the basis for preparing their quotation. Offerors shall ensure that all aspects of the SOO are thoroughly addressed in the quotation.

1.0 Purpose

This SOO describes the objectives USCG / ALC expects regarding the Windows 10 upgrade; or most recent version available, replacement and installation of the water-based dynamometer, and technical support for one (1) base year and four (4) one-year option periods. The primary goal is for the Engine

Test Cell to properly function for testing the General Electric (GE) T700 and the CT7-9C3 aircraft engines and to conform to safety parameters affecting both personnel and the environment.

2.0 Scope

The USCG ALC’s objective is to install engine specific software and instrumentation to upgrade the existing software and hardware to be Windows 10 compliant and replace / install the current water – based Dynamometer to a “turn-key” operational status. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, supervision, and accessories necessary to complete this requirement. The Test Cell shall be brought up to compliance by utilizing, but not limited to, Federal

Aviation Administration Advisory Circular, SAE International, Aviation Logistic Center instructions, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for operation. Where applicable, ALC personnel and/or Base Facilities Engineering Department may provide facilities modifications should assistance arise and be pre-approved. This SOO addresses activities to be accomplished as follows:

1. Develop a proposed solution to include detailed drawings depicting the work to be accomplished.

2. Develop a list of equipment / parts required to accomplish the work.

3. Prepare and submit an implementation plan with a timeline to accomplish the work to include but not limited to: Windows 10 software and hardware required, brand and specifications of water-based Dynamometer and technical support details.

4. Initial operation training on turn-key system.

3.0 Period and Place of Performance

Upon contract award, work shall only commence as scheduled by both parties and once the contractor has all components to include software, hardware, dynamometer, qualified personnel and any other

Dynamometer Purchase and Replacement and items required to perform the tasking in this SOO. After work begins, the upgrade and Dynamometer installation is expected to be completed within sixty (60) calendar days. The upgrade and installation shall occur simultaneously in order to minimize extended down time to the Test Cell. All work will be accomplished at the Engine Test and Repair Facility, building 100, located at 1664 Weeksville Road, Elizabeth City, NC.

4.0 Background

The Engine Test Cell is used at the USCG, ALC to test overhauled engines for the fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The existing Test Cell does not meet the Department of Defense (DOD) mandated Windows 10 compliance. The standalone system requires hardware and software replacement / upgrades to meet compliance. In conjunction, the Dynamometer requires replacement. The current configuration is a

Kahn brand Dynamometer.

5.0 Objectives/Minimum Requirements

5.1 Technical Objectives/Minimum Requirements

5.1.1 Removal and disposal of all excess equipment associated with the Windows 10 secure host baseline upgrade shall be in accordance with (IAW) Management of Scientific and

Technical Information, COMDTINST M5260.6A.

Removal of all dynamometer, flywheel, torque sensor and various other equipment associated with existing test stand which shall remain the property of the USCG. The contractor shall remove all existing equipment obstructing the air flow in the test cell (i.e electrical lines, bellmouth, and hydraulic lines etc.). Replacement of the new equipment shall not obstruct the airflow path from test cell intake to the test stand Bellmouth. No equipment shall be placed near or in this pathway without prior Government approval.

5.1.2 Installation of all new hardware and software components to upgrade the Test Cell to

Windows 10 including but not limited to; monitors, throttle control, dynamometer, cradle, wiring, etc.

5.1.3 The upgrade to Windows 10 compliance shall include but may not be limited to:

A. Test Cell Operating System (to include all associated software and hardware)

B. Have current access to General Electric’s (GE) Data Reduction Program (DRP) or proof demonstrating it will be obtained within sixty (60) calendar days after award.

Incorporate the GE DRP for both the CT7-9C3 and T700-401 C/D to include upgrade using the Enhanced Digital Engine Control Units (EDECU) and Digital Engine

Control Units (DECU) utilizing the following manuals:

a. T700 Engine; Army Depot Maintenance Work Requirement (DMWR) 1-

2840-248-1 through 4;

Dynamometer Purchase and Replacement and

b. CT7 Engine; GE Shop Manual SEI-578 72-00-00 TESTING 002 CT7-9

c. Test Cell Engine Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

C. Identify and propose any other software programs that may be required for Test Cell operations.

5.1.4 Installation of a new zero time water-based Dynamometer. The Dynamometer is limited to a Vibration Isolation Pad approximately one hundred and twenty-one (121) inches long, sixty-four (64) inches wide, and has twelve (12) inches visible tower above ground with ninety-six (96) inches below ground. The platform has an approximate gross weight limitation of 70,000 pounds (which includes the total weight of the engine, dynamometer, flywheel, cradle, and supporting machinery equipment). The contractor shall tune the

Dynamometer at time of installation. The contractor shall provide a new test stand, as the current stand is no longer supportable.

5.1.5 The contractor shall provide initial calibration support for both engines.

5.1.6 The Government requires, at a minimum the standard commercial warranty to apply to the resultant “turn-key” solution.

5.1.7 The USCG requires technical support for the contract period of performance to include the one (1) year base period, and four (4) option periods. Technical support may be verbal, written, and on-site. Support will be initiated by the Government. The Contractor shall respond to support requests within two (2) business days after contact by the USCG.

On-site support shall be scheduled on an as needed basis by the Government. The

Contractor shall have a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days to meet the on-site support request.

6.0 Safety Objectives

The Contractor is solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to the OSHA (Public Law 91-596) and the resulting standards, OSHA

Standard 29 CFR 1910 and any ALC Instructions as applicable, and the protection of their employees. Note: ALC Instructions are annotated because many of the USCG/ALC standards exceed the OSHA standard criteria. If a conflict is noted, the most stringent requirement takes precedence. The Government shall assume no liability or responsibility for the Contractor's compliance or non-compliance with such requirements. In addition, the Contractor is required to flow down the safety requirements/specifications to all subcontracts/subcontractors.

The Contractor agrees that onsite personnel will abide by ALC’s most current COVID-19 protocol in force when onsite work commences. These protocols may change during performance.

The contractor shall provide a safety plan to implement the requirements of this SOO.
