1.0 INTRODUCTION

The F/A-18A-F and EA-18G including future variants aircraft/systems ground and flight test programs are managed by the F/A-18 Project Team assigned to the VX-23 Squadron located at the NAWCAD, Patuxent River, MD. The Project Team is responsible for all project coordination, execution, and support issues related to the ground and flight test of these aircraft models. Additionally, the Project Team ensures compliance with test Squadron Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and of the processes/procedures governing all phases of test projects including development, maintenance, and implementation.

Developmental testing for the F/A-18 aircraft/systems has been ongoing at the NAWCAD, Patuxent River since 1978. These aircraft/systems are designed to perform Strike Fighter and Electronic Attack missions. Developmental test efforts for all F/A-18/ EA-18G and future variants aircraft/systems in support of both the domestic Fleet and programs is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

The F/A-18 Project Team requires contract support that includes engineering, instrumentation, artisan maintenance, and manufacturing of parts for the uniquely configured non-production models of the F/A-18 & EA-18G aircraft and future variants (domestic/foreign) for ground and flight test programs conducted at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, MD. The artisan maintenance and manufacturing support could also be provided for production F/A-18 A-F or EA-18G aircraft in which flight performance capability has been expanded. These efforts will be requested by the VX-23 test squadron and could include Organizational (O), Intermediate (I), and Depot (D) level maintenance support required for the unique test capabilities. As this is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, all effort described in this Statement of Work will be contracted through the issuance of Task Orders.
