JUSTICE PRISONER AND ALIEN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (JPATS)

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA

AIRCRAFT LEASING

Section II- Statement of Work A. Background

A.1.

The Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS) supports the Federal judiciary through its scheduling and transportation responsibilities. JPATS transports sentenced prisoners who are in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to hearings, court appearances and detention facilities. Military and civilian law enforcement agencies use JPATS to shuttle their prisoners between different jurisdictions at a fraction of what commercial sources would charge.

A.2.

JPATS operates a fleet of aircraft that move prisoners over long distances more economically and with higher security than commercial airlines. Most air movements are done aboard large transport category aircraft that JPATS either owns or leases.

A.3.

JPATS is the only government-operated, regularly scheduled passenger airline in the nation. JPATS routinely serves approximately 20 domestic cities, plus other major cities in the United States on an as-required basis.

A.4.

To continue to fulfill this critically important mission, JPATS requires the lease of United States of America (U. S.) registered, narrow-bodied, large transport category turbine-powered aircraft.

B. Overview of the JPATS Operating Environment

B.1.

JPATS is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri with air fleet operations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Currently at this site, JPATS utilizes a fleet of leased aircraft comprised of two (2) MD-83 aircraft.

G.1.

Based on current mission flying schedules, JPATS’ estimated utilization rate for the proposed fleet of two aircraft will be approximately 1,250 flight (Hobbs) hours and approximately 900 takeoffs and landings (cycles) per aircraft per year. “Hobbs Hours” by definition is “wheels off” during takeoff to “wheels on” during landing. The estimated hours and cycles identified above are representative of the expected usage, and as such, actual hours may vary due to scheduling demands.

H.

Aircraft Requirements/Configuration

H.1.

The Contractor shall provide aircraft that are mid-life, narrow-bodied, large, turbine-powered, transport category aircraft of United States of America registry with a valid FAA issued standard Certificate of Airworthiness at time of delivery to JPATS.

H.2.

Specific minimum requirements for the types of airframes to be supplied are as follows:

1. As detailed in Section II, B.1., both aircraft offered to the government shall be of the same category, class, type and series/model, thereby constituting a standardized fleet.

2. Aircraft offered that are not of the same category, class, type and series/model as the current leased aircraft identified in Section II, B.1., must be “equal” as defined below.

H.3.

Brand Name or Equal. The Contractor must provide a standardized fleet of Boeing 737-400s, MD-83s, or equal aircraft. If a Contractor proposes aircraft “equal” to the aircraft identified above, the Contractor must submit documentation that the proposed aircraft meets the Salient Features. In accordance with FAR 11.104(b), the following are the required Salient Features of the aircraft at the time of delivery:

1. Aircraft must meet all specifications of its original Type Certificate in accordance with Title 14 CFR Part 25.

2. Aircraft must be certified for day, night, Visual Flight Rules (VFR), Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations and flight into known icing conditions.

3. All cockpit and cabin instrumentation, avionics, placards, gauges and any additional required documentation, must be labeled and readable in the English language and United States measuring system. Metric system is not acceptable.

4. Documentation from contractor that aircraft must not have sustained any substantial damage as defined by National Transportation Safety Board 49 CFR Subpart A, General 830.2.

5. Aircraft must be equipped with an APU suitable for providing ground power, self contained engine starts, and ground heating and cooling of the aircraft. The unit must be capable of supplying electrical power to the aircraft’s electrical system while airborne.

6. Aircraft must be equipped with a minimum of three lavatories configured for external servicing.

7. Aircraft must be of a narrow body (single aisle) configuration.

8. Aircraft must have a standard 2 and 3 cabin seating configuration, or 3 and 3 cabin seating configuration.

9.

A.

It is anticipated that under this contract each aircraft may accrue 900 cycles per year for a potential total of 4,500 cycles during the life of the contract. 14 CFR Section 121.1107 states that aircraft may not be operated beyond its applicable flight cycle implementation time without special, certified maintenance. Accordingly, during the life of the contract no aircraft shall exceed its flight cycle limitation time as noted below. The flight cycle limitation time “name brand” aircraft as determined by cycles are as follows:

1) 737-400: 60,000 cycles

2) MD-83: 60,000 cycles

B.

During the life of the contract, any proposed “Or equal” aircraft shall also not exceed its applicable flight cycle limitation time as described in 14 CFR, Section 121.1107. For purposes of this Salient Characteristic, the maximum aircraft cycles allowed for any aircraft proposed under this contract shall be calculated by subtracting the appropriate FAA-stipulated flight cycle limitation time for the aircraft from the estimated flight cycles that Government expects to accrue on the aircraft at the time of aircraft delivery to the end of the contract, the difference of which is the maximum number of cycles allowed upon delivery of the aircraft. For example, if it is estimated that JPATS will put 4,500 cycles on a Boeing 737-400 aircraft during the life of the contract, the maximum cycles that the proposed aircraft can already have on it at the time of delivery is 55,500 (i.e., 60,000 minus 4,500).
