SCHEDULE NOTES

1. The quantities listed in the “Schedule of Items” are estimated requirements for the contract period. The Government estimates, but does not guarantee, the volume of purchases under this contract. During the period of performance, the number of aircraft, inspections, repair hours, and parts required may vary. Other than any guaranteed minimum of $5,000.00, no guarantee is given as to the actual number of inspection hours, hourly labor hours, or parts required during the term of this contract.

2. Repairs must be performed on a firm fixed price basis. For each repair, the Contractor must provide the USDA, APHIS, WS program representative, with a firm fixed price quote based on the Contractor's assessment of the repairs to be completed. After Government review and approval, the Contractor may proceed with the repair work.

3. Parts, materials, and consumables must be quoted and supported by documentation sufficient for the Government to evaluate price reasonableness, traceability, and airworthiness. The Contractor must not install unapproved, unairworthy, or unsupported parts.

4. On rare occasions travel may be required if an aircraft is inoperable due to mechanical issues and cannot be flown to the Contractor's facility. Travel must be authorized in advance by the authorized WS program representative. If travel is authorized, travel will be reimbursed at the fixed daily rate in the Schedule for each individual traveling. Employee travel time from the Contractor's facility to the aircraft and return travel time to the Contractor's facility after repair must be agreed upon in advance and is reimbursed at the standard hourly labor rate in the Schedule for each individual traveling.

5. The Department of Labor Service Contract Act applies to this contract. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining the wage determination applicable to the location where services will be performed and determining the appropriate labor categories or occupation codes under the applicable wage determination. Contact the Contracting Officer for assistance if needed.

PART 2.0 - PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

2.1 - Scope This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the requirements for inspection, maintenance, repair, and specialized mission‑equipment installation services for USDA APHIS Wildlife Services rotary‑wing aircraft that are assigned to the Oklahoma program or are transiently supported by the State Office. The Contractor must provide all management, personnel, facilities, tooling, equipment, technical data, quality control, parts support, and documentation necessary to perform the tasks and deliverables described in this PWS.

2.2 - Background USDA, APHIS, Wildlife Services provides Federal leadership and expertise to resolve wildlife conflicts and protect agricultural, natural, and public resources.

Expected outcomes include responsive support, reduced aircraft downtime, and safe recovery or repair of disabled aircraft.

2.6.4 Objective 4: Maintain Qualified Personnel, Facilities, Tools, and Technical Data The Contractor must provide technically competent maintenance personnel, appropriate facilities, required special tools, support equipment, technical manuals, directives, bulletins, inspection data, and quality control systems necessary to perform the work. Expected outcomes include compliant maintenance, repeatable quality, and a facility capable of supporting the aircraft and mission equipment covered by this PWS.

2.6.5 Objective 5: Manage Parts, Materials, Components, and Mission Equipment The Contractor must furnish required parts, materials, consumables, and components, and must install or remove specialized mission equipment as ordered. Parts must be approved, traceable, documented, and suitable for the aircraft.

48 CFR 3052.204-71 requires each individual employed under a federal contract to be a citizen of the United States of America, or a non-U.S. citizen who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence as evidence by a Permanent Resident Card (USCIS I-551).
