C-26 CLS Performance Work Statement (PWS) 1.

1. SECTION I – DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to define the tasks to be accomplished for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) of the C-26 aircraft. CLS includes all support actions required for operating and maintaining the aircraft, aircraft subsystems, and support equipment. The CLS system includes all aircraft maintenance and personnel, materials and inspections, launch and recovery of the aircraft, supply of all Contractor owned spares and support equipment through a Contractor Operated and Maintained Base Supply (COMBS); repair and overhaul of all repairable spares at Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified repair stations; maintenance and repair of all support equipment; aircraft paint; engine repair and overhaul. These actions include supply, procurement, production control, quality control, component failure reports, and acquisition of commercial data. This effort includes additional support, as over and above tasks, engineering services including development, test and FAA certification of modifications, installation of modifications, depot maintenance support, field team support (worldwide), aircraft crash investigations, and damage repair. The Government also requests information for: quality, contract funds status, consumption and usage, service engineering reports, subscription services for technical manual updates and service actions. Establish and maintain agreements with the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for data and technical support to maintain the C-26 aircraft.

1.1 Background

The C-26 is a military version of the FAA-type certificated Fairchild SA227 aircraft consisting of 11-DC. The aircraft are powered by twin Honeywell TPE331 turboprop engines. The current Air National Guard owned aircraft are currently split into three configurations: RC-26B Block 20, RC-26B Block 25 and RC-26B Block 25R. The C-26 aircraft are modified as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) support aircraft carrying specialized electronic equipment to provide aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance for domestic organizations and agencies as well as Combatant Commands. The C-26 operates within and outside the continental United States.

ANG reserves the right to add/delete aircraft from the fleet as well as open, close and/or consolidate CONUS and OCONUS locations

1.2 Concept of Support

The Contractor shall provide personnel, material, and technical and maintenance support for the aircraft in accordance with (IAW) FAA standards to maintain FAA-type certification. The Contractor shall comply with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 21-103, AFI 21-101 and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 10-220. The Contractor shall establish maintenance and supply support at each aircraft site to satisfy the stated Mission Capability (MC) Requirements. The Contractor shall be prepared to provide flying hour support up to 660 hours per aircraft per year. Reference Appendix N.

1.2.1 Mission Capability Requirements

The Contractor shall meet a monthly MC rate of not less than 85% for each aircraft and the fleet. The Contractor must also meet a monthly Fully Mission Capable (FMC) rate of 75% for each ANG aircraft. The Contractor shall refer to Appendix E, Minimum Essential Subsystem List (MESL) for the appropriate aircraft status when an aircraft system or component is inoperative. The fleet MC rate for ANG shall be used to assess liquidated damages.

The Contractor shall calculate MC for individual aircraft and each fleet by the formula below:

MC Rate = Total Reportable Time - Non-Mission Capable (NMC) Time Total Reportable Time which is also, MC Rate = FMC Time + Partial Mission Capable (PMC) Time Total Reportable Time Similarly, the FMC rate is calculated by:

FMC Rate = Total Reportable Time - NMC Time - PMC Time Total Reportable Time

The PMC rate is calculated by:

PMC Rate = PMC Time Total Reportable Time

Total Reportable Time is calculated by:

Total Reportable Time = Total Possessed Time – Non-Reportable Time (NRT)

The Contractor shall report the MC rates each month on the Monthly Aircraft Status Report. The Contractor shall include each day's hours of FMC, PMC, reportable time, flying hours, landings, and other data reported by each MOB's Site Manager and confirmed by the Government Representative in this report. The Contractor shall calculate and report this information at the end of the month for each aircraft.

1.2.2 Maintenance Concept

The Contractor shall maintain the fleet IAW FAA-approved maintenance standards to maintain its FAA-type certification.

1.2.3 Subcontractor Management

The Contractor shall establish agreements with the OEMs that allow the Contractor to obtain the approved data and technical support necessary to maintain the C-26 airframe, engines, accessories and systems to ensure the FAA type certification is not compromised. The Contractor shall ensure the agreements are in effect at the beginning of the contract period of performance, which begins after phase-in. The Contractor shall ensure aircraft utilization and mission reliability requirements are not impacted as a result of obtaining data or support from the OEMs. The Contractor shall ensure that subcontractors comply with all FAA, Quality Assurance (QA), Safety and contractual requirements.

Reimbursement of any damage to or loss of an aircraft will not exceed the replacement cost of that particular aircraft, including all modifications and improvements to the aircraft and any other Government-owned property located in or on the aircraft. Acts of God are expressly excluded unless provisions to cover these occurrences are part of the Contractor's, Vendor's, or subcontractor's normal business practices.

DFARS 252.228-7001 remains applicable for all other aircraft operations not excluded by this Section. This section shall not apply, if the contractor is willing to fully comply with the combined regulation entitled "Contractor's Flight and Ground Operations" in effect on the date of contract award.
