FA805121R3010 - L-CBA SOW - Final (30 June 21).docx

STATEMENT OF WORK

Air Force Civil Engineer Center Rapid Explosive Hazard Mitigation (REHM) Large Clearance Blade Assembly (L-CBA) Date: 30 June 2021

1.0 SCOPE. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort associated with the supply of Large Clearance Blade Assemblies (L-CBA) to mount on armored front end loaders.

2.0 BACKGROUND. The objective of the Airfield Damage Repair (ADR) Modernization Program is to develop capabilities to rapidly assess damage to airfield pavements, mitigate unexploded ordnance from the airfield pavement, and repair damaged airfield pavements for the full spectrum of operational scenarios including base recovery after an attack, expedient repairs at deployed locations, and sustainment of operating surfaces at forward operating bases. In all of these scenarios, time is a critical factor, either to restore flying operations or minimize airfield closures. The L-CBA is an armored blade required to safely push ordnance off airfield surfaces using an Armored Front End Loader. Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC)/Acquisition and Requirements Office (CXA) has designed and tested an effective blueprint for this capability.

3.0 REQUIREMENTS. The work required by this contract shall be performed in accordance with standards and formats identified within this SOW. The L-CBA’s must be:

a. Built to the performance specifications

b. Built with specified metals

c. Incorporate International Organization for Standardization (ISO) coupler for attachment to Government armored front end loaders

d. Comply with specified schedule, data items, and other deliverables

e. Shipped to specified destinations
