Attachment J.1 Statement of Work

NOAA WP-3D Aircraft Full Service Maintenance

A.1 Background: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Aircraft Operations Center (NOAA/AOC) operates and maintains two WP-3D (variant of the P-3 exclusive to NOAA) Lockheed Orion aircraft, N42RF and N43RF. These aircraft are flown in support of NOAA scientists primarily for the purpose of severe weather research in environments such as hurricanes and mesoscale thunderstorms. Both WP-3D aircraft were acquired from Lockheed Burbank in 1975 (N42RF) and 1976 (N43RF). These aircraft have been maintained throughout their life cycle in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 4790. Deviations from inspection criteria set forth in OPNAVINST 4790 have been made in order to satisfy NOAA mission and operating requirements. The deviations have not precluded any of the maintenance or inspection criteria set forth in this instruction. The NOAA/AOC Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) program is dynamic and changes to meet the mission demands and adapt to findings noted during routine inspections conducted between major scheduled maintenance. PDM is categorized as Standard Rework, which is scheduled D-level (Depot Level) maintenance performed per an established recurring schedule. Integrated Maintenance Concept/Program (IMC/P) and Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) events are examples of Standard Rework. The NOAA/AOC currently follows a 72 month interval or a more comprehensive inspection if one exists with plans to move to an 84-month program. The AOC Directors of Maintenance forecast when inspection items are due, component overhauls are required, and life limited parts must be replaced. Components that are not on a scheduled interval are replaced on condition. Calendar and Hourly item maintenance shall align with the time frame established in Navy Manual NAVAIR NA 01-75PAA- IMP-6 or NOAA AOC requirements.

A.2 Scope: The contractor shall conduct inspections, repairs, servicing, and supply replacement items for NOAA WP-3D aircraft to include: labor, materials and supplies, consumables and equipment. Failed parts are considered “over and above” items. For purposes of this Statement of Work, the term "over and above" shall mean: "Item discrepancies discovered during routine scheduled maintenance or during unscheduled maintenance which are not a part of a continuous maintenance program.”

Hourly maintenance items are based on projected flight hours flown and forecasted elapsed calendar time throughout the year. These inspection items are tracked via in-house database and are therefore scheduled items based upon both aircraft total time and calendar month. Place of performance will be dictated at the task order level. These locations may be at NOAA AOC, the contractor facility, or in the field.

The selected contractor shall provide all necessary tools, special tools, labor, and parts to perform the following requested work:

• All Inspections shall follow NA 01-75PAA-IMP-6 to include: P-3 Calendar Inspections, 52 Week Day Phase Inspection, Hourly Inspections, and Conditional inspections

• A full Periodic Depot Maintenance inspection of the P-3 aircraft that includes in-depth NDI and NDT inspection methods with the goal of correcting all damage found. This includes repair of all major airframe structural defects and the repair of all corrosion damage.

• All PDM inspections shall include the SSI (Structurally Significant Inspection) Revision B inspection and structural repairs required by the SSI now in effect for the P-3 aircraft.

• All discrepancies found during the PDM inspection shall be corrected unless unforeseen events such as unavailability of parts, etc. prevent correction of the discrepancy.

• All airworthiness or /“Safety of Flight” discrepancies shall be corrected before the acceptance of the aircraft by NOAA/AOC from the PDM facility.

• During the PDM, a list of any “Noted but Not Corrected” (NBNC) discrepancies may be provided to NOAA/AOC periodically throughout the inspection process and for review prior to final acceptance of the aircraft.

• Paint entire aircraft in accordance with the latest NOAA/AOC paint drawings, paint and NOAA logo stencil. Technical specifications and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information can be found at www.ppgaerospace.com.

• Weigh aircraft in accordance with NAVAIR 01-75PAA-XX utilizing Automated Weight and Balance Software (AWBS) upon completion of paint. Provide to NOAA/AOC a properly documented Form B showing Basic Weight, Moment, Center of Gravity in Percent of Mean Aerodynamic Cord, Center of Gravity Arm in Inches, and Index.

• Structural Maintenance – Support for major structural repair requirements during PDM and while the aircraft is in service include, but are not limited to, corrosion inspections, repair and/or replacement of large structural components (such as landing gear, wing flaps, flight controls, etc.), and sustainment of lower fuselage radome systems.

• On-Site Maintenance – Maintenance support at AOC Lakeland or while deployed.

Maintenance support will include but is not limited to, providing personnel to compliment or supplement maintenance efforts during phase, conditional, and scheduled inspections (7, 45, 56, 90, and 365 day calendar inspections and flight hour driven inspections such as 200, 600, 1200 and 1800Hr), that include general visual inspections and complex inspections requiring test equipment and in-depth disassembly.

Quality assurance of all work tasks shall be certified as completed by the technician performing the task and verified using applicable selected contractor and OPNAV 4790.2 series QA procedures. Certified technicians shall inspect and verify all completed work tasks have been accomplished using aviation industry acceptable methods, techniques and practices throughout the inspection or modification of the aircraft.

At any time during the inspection process, the government reserves the right to do on-sight quality assurance oversight within 24 hours of notification of the contractor. The selected contractor will be provided with the name(s) and any other information required by the contractor, of the oversight inspector(s). Inspectors will comply with any of the selected contractor security/safety regulations required for access to, or while on the selected contractor facility.

The selected contractor shall allow NOAA/AOC personnel, on a non-interference basis, to perform work at the selected contractor facility. This work will include, but is not limited to, removal of lower fuselage radar antenna for rework, removal and replacement of scientific system wiring, installation of new scientific system wiring and/or plumbing, engine work (filter removal and replacement, oil changes, fuel nozzle removal and replacement, borescope inspection, etc.).

Contractor shall submit to NOAA/AOC for approval, the appropriate documentation which will be used to verify the work has been performed and is in accordance with the specifications of the engineering provided and manufacturer maintenance manuals. Upon acceptance of the aircraft, all documentation associated with the inspection and modifications will be submitted to NOAA/AOC for inclusion in aircraft log and record books.

A NOAA/AOC maintenance check flight crew shall support all required functional check flights in accordance with NA01-75PAC-1F, OPNAVINST 4790.2H, OPNAVINST 3710.7S, and NA01-75PAC-1 following the completion of all tasks and prior to acceptance of the aircraft. If any discrepancies are noted or system(s) failure(s) occur during any flights prior to acceptance, NOAA/AOC and the selected contractor will review and discuss options for the resolution of the discrepancies.

Corrective actions during the post PDM Functional Check Flight (FCF) phase, such as removal and replacement of parts, repair of parts, rigging; adjustments, etc. will be considered as an “over-and-above” expense.

NA01-75PAC-1F shall be used to document the FCF. Results of post flight inspections and corrections shall be documented in accordance with applicable NOAA/AOC and contractor documentation procedures.

The Contractor will be responsible for all required documentation pertaining to the inspection and maintenance of the aircraft, to include but not limited to approval for return to service.

A.3 Over and Above Items: Over and above discrepancies from PDM or SSI inspections as well as any other scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and inspections.

The contractor shall conduct inspections, repairs, servicing, and supply replacement items for NOAA WP-3D aircraft to include: labor, materials and supplies, consumables and equipment. Failed parts are considered “over and above” items. Hourly maintenance items are based on projected flight hours flown and forecasted elapsed calendar time throughout the year. These inspection items are tracked via in-house database and are therefore scheduled items based upon both aircraft total time and calendar month.

Over and Above Items during a Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI): The NOAA COR will be responsible for reviewing the list of discrepancies and making a recommendation to the NOAA Contracting Officer (CO) to either accept or decline the Contractor's proposal. Additional work shall not be performed on the aircraft without prior approval from the CO.

Over and Above Parts and Labor:

The Contractor shall document discrepancies during the course of work and report the documentation must include:

·Description of each discrepancy found (over and above repair items) necessary repairs to the COR.

·Number of man hours per discipline required to complete each discrepancy

·Hourly rate for personnel performing the work

·Parts costs (Show the appropriate discount or markup percentage)

·Total Dollar Amount for each discrepancy

·Tota1 Dollar Amount for complete list of discrepancies

·Estimate of time required for completion of discrepancies

A.4 Delivery Requirements: Price associated with the delivery of the aircraft to the contractor facility will be the responsibility of the government.

A.5 Insurance against Loss or Damage to Government Property: The Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain liability insurance of not less than $50,000,000.00 to cover the airframe on which the work will be performed. Before award of this contract, the Contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer written documentation that the required insurance has been obtained. The policies evidencing the required insurance shall contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or any material change adversely affecting the Government’s interest shall not be effective:

1. For such a period as the laws of the State or Province in which this work is to be performed prescribe and;

2. Until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the Contracting Officer, whichever period is longer.

A.6 Parts, Discounts, and Warranties: The Contractor shall provide all replacement parts, materials, and consumables. However, the Government reserves the right to provide the same, if advantageous, at any time during the contract. The Government will make the final determination on whether new, overhauled, or serviceable parts will be installed on the aircraft. Parts or components in an “as removed” condition will not be installed on the aircraft. Any part or component that has not reached its recommended service life but fails inspection and needs to be replaced will be treated as an over and above. Since the government cannot determine which parts or components, if any, meet this criteria, maintenance contractors shall provide the labor rate they will charge the government, per hour for “over and above” discrepancies. Secondly, contractors are asked to provide what percent discount off list price for replacement parts will be given.

All aircraft, engine, propeller, accessory and component parts installed by the contractor shall have traceability to an approved part manufacturer. Contractor shall use FAA Advisory Circular 20-62D as a guideline to prevent the installation of unapproved parts.

It is understood by the government that parts associated with the P-3 aircraft do not come with a FAA 8130-3 Airworthiness Approval Tag. However, an equivalent tag with the part number, serial number (if applicable), lot number (if applicable), date of manufacture, overhaul or repair, manufacturer, overhaul or repair facility name, and technician signature or stamp shall be provided with the part. Any suspect part shall be dealt with in accordance with the Advisory Circular and a new part obtained for installation on the aircraft.

A.7 PDM Performance: Due to mission requirements and the operational schedule of the NOAA WP-3D fleet, the selected contractor shall be required of a turn-around time not to exceed 250 calendar days for the PDM inspection and 30 calendar days for the individual phase inspections. This period begins when the aircraft is delivered to the selected contractor’s facility or designated FBO and ends when the aircraft is ready to be picked up at the contractor’s facility or the selected paint shop after full repaint (for the PDM inspection). Other periods of performance will be negotiated and agreed upon by the contractor and NOAA prior to issuance of a purchase order.

When abnormal requirements and/or circumstances occur which would require an extension of the agreed upon performance period, the selected contractor shall immediately provide documentation to the CO (Contracting Officer) as to the reason and extent of the abnormal requirements and/or circumstances. The selected contractor shall also provide the best estimate of the extension required in calendar days.
