STATEMENT OF WORK

Aircraft Emissions CO2 Standard Finalization

BACKGROUND

The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) in support of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Office of Environment and Energy (AEE-300) is developing a certification standard for airplane CO2 emissions based on the consumption of fuel. This certification standard will be incorporated into the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Committee for Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) Annex 16 as Volume III. In addition, guidance and information on procedures and methods for determining airplane fuel consumption in for use in determining compliance with the CO2 emissions standard will be provided in an Environmental Technical Manual (ETM).

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this project is to resolve remaining technical work items for the CO2 emissions standard as within the Annex 16 Vol. III and the associated Environmental Technical Manual Vol. III guidance document. The work will be conducted in the form of information exchanges on teleconferences and webexes regarding procedures and methods for flight testing as well as data analysis necessary for determining airplane fuel consumption..

STAFFING APPROACH

The contractor shall provide an individual that has prior/current experience in the following areas:

o Flight test and analysis methods for determining airplane fuel mileage o Airplane certification requirements and procedures o ICAO working methods and procedures o Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 25 o Draft ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) Annex 16

Volume III CO2 emissions standards o Advisory Circular (AC) 25-7

II. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Basis for Award

An award will be made to the responsive and responsible Offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to offer the best value to the Government in terms of: 1) technical acceptability; 2) past performance 3) price. It is the Government’s intent to award a firm fixed-price purchase order based upon initial offers without entering into discussions or negotiations (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price standpoint, reflecting ANY AVAILABLE DISCOUNTS. While it is the Government's intent to make award based upon initial offers, the Government may, nevertheless, determine during the evaluation period that it is necessary to conduct discussions.

Order of Importance

Evaluation Criteria

The Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated in terms of the following criteria:

1) Technical Acceptability

a) Technical Approach

b) Staffing

c) Past Performance

2) Price

Technical Acceptability Technical acceptability of the Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated based on the following:

Technical Approach - The Offeror’s technical capability to satisfy the requirements of the SOW as demonstrated by its written technical approach;

Staffing – The experience and expertise of the Offeror’s proposed staff to meet the requirements of the SOW as demonstrated by the staff resumes.

Past Performance - The Offeror’s relevant work experience in the following areas as demonstrated by its past performance documentation:

• Flight test and analysis methods for determining airplane fuel mileage

PR# V3201025

• Airplane certification requirements and procedures

• ICAO working methods and procedures

• Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 25

• Draft ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) Annex 16

Volume III CO2 emissions standards

• Advisory Circular (AC) 25-7

Price

The Offeror’s quoted price will be evaluated based on the total firm fixed price proposed for CLINs 0100 – 0204.

Please keep pricing separate from technical proposal.
