Table of Contents

1.0 Introduction and Overview

FAA Flight Program Operations (AJF) owns and operates three (3) Challenger 601, one (1) Challenger 604, and two (2) Challenger 605 aircraft that are powered by General Electric (GE) CF34‐3A1 and CF34‐3B engines. The FAA also has recently acquired two additional (2) 605’, and there are plans to procure two (2) 605's in the next two years. For a total fleet of ten (10) Challenger jets.

The FAA requires contract aircraft maintenance services to support the FAA Challenger fleet. 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). A goal of this effort is to provide the FAA with streamlined ordering procedures for future requirements. Thereby, improving maintenance support response times.

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. Availability of aircraft is critical to meet the mission requirements.

The contractor or any subcontractor performing work under this contract must hold 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 Prime contractor must hold a valid Bombardier, General Electric (GE), and Honeywell service center authorization. The Prime 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 to provide Aircraft on Ground (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.
