Statement of Objectives: Special Carry Remote Interface Unit Investigation (SCRIU)

NSN: 5998-01-244-0696WZ Part Number: 16E10250-5

Purpose: This Statement of Objectives defines the Engineering services to be performed by Elbit Systems of America (EFW) Inc. on the SCRIU, based on recorded Deficiency Report (DR) failures. This effort shall determine what is/are the root cause failures, as well as to provide a solution to mitigate any future failures.

Scope/Mission: The mission of this Engineering service based on the DR, is to troubleshoot, validate and provide solutions to the failures of the SCRIU. For this DR investigation, USG will supply Government Furnished Property (GFP) consisting of: three serviceable and three unserviceable SCRIUs. In addition, USG will supply and have access to (and use of) Test Station, Digital Storage Oscilloscope during testing at facilities. Finally, USG will provide releasable documentation (as requested by the contractor) and DR for the performance of this task. All data should be protected in accordance to applicable laws and regulations. The information provided by the contractor (EFW) on this DR investigation, will assist the Government as to what action to take on future maintenance for the item. This as a whole will deliver reliability and sustainability for the field users.

Period and Place of Performance: The period of performance for this DR investigation is to be accomplished approximately within a six month period. The place of performance will take place within United States Government (USG) facilities.

Background: Within the last year, during Intermediate-level testing, the SCRIU has demonstrated intermittent differences between on-aircraft performance and off-aircraft testing. These intermittent failures generated a great amount of DR’s from the field.

Operating Constraints: None

Performance Objectives

1. The objective of this Engineering Project is to determine the root cause of the SCRIU/Test issues and identify recommended resolutions.

2. The contractor shall have access to and utilize suitable test equipment and processes to accomplish the failure analysis (e.g., functionally operate the LRU and SRUs).

3. The contractor shall provide a root-cause analysis [A003] to include both data reviews and Contractor-performed testing of USG provided assets.

4. The contractor shall provide a Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) report [A002] outlining potential impacts of DMSMS on component-level repair (e.g., if Depot-level repair were to be performed) of the existing configuration.

5. The contractor shall procure necessary components to validate recommended DR root-cause and DMSMS impact resolutions. If electronics items are procured, the Contractor shall provide a Counterfeit Parts Prevention Plan [A004] and accomplish Counterfeit Parts Prevention in accordance with (IAW) Section 8.5 below.

6. The contractor shall recommend configuration changes if the DMSMS issues are discovered to resolve identified root cause(s). [A001]

7. This effort is considered a Non-mission Essential Service. According to Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1100.22, it is determined that the contractor will not be required to provide services during crisis unless directed by an authorized government representative. The contractor will contact the Contracting officer for instructions concerning services if a crisis situation occurs.

These policies and procedures shall be documented in a CPP for submission and approval in accordance with Data Item Description (DID) DI-MISC-81832 and accomplished for all specified contract items. DI-MISC-81832 is applicable to Parts, Material and Processes Selection (PMPS) associated with delivery of systems and assemblies to the USAF and DoD. The requirements established by DI-MISC-81832 also apply to electronics components procured in sustainment of such systems and assemblies. The requirements of the recently DoD-adopted SAE 5553, Aerospace Standard, Counterfeit Electronics Parts;

Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition shall also apply.

8.5.2. At a minimum, the CPP shall address:

8.5.2.1. Applicability. The Contractor shall identify all Business locations and programs to which the CPP applies. The CPP shall address materials, hardware, electronic parts, and procured assemblies.

8.5.2.2. Definitions. The Contractor shall utilize definitions per AS 5553 to ensure consistency. Any contractor-derived definitions must be included in an appropriate CPP appendix or annex. (Ref. AS5553, paragraph 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, appendix H)
