Prepared by:

407 SCMS/GULI

235 Byron Street, Ste 19A Robins AFB, GA 30198

Distribution Statement D: Distribution authorized to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD Contractors only. Other requests shall be referred to 407 SCMS/GULI, 235 Byron Street, Ste 19A, Robins AFB. GA 31098-1670

1.0 Description of Services

1.1 Objective(s): This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the services required to support the repair of the RQ-4 Global Hawk (GH) National Stock Number (NSN) items. The contractor shall repair and return assets to the Government in serviceable condition while meeting the delivery schedule for all requirements. The Contractor shall comply with the quality levels for repair necessary to return assets in serviceable condition and deliver them on-time. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide timely response to surge backorders and Mission Incapable Awaiting Parts (MICAP) delivery requests. Assets shall be delivered in the latest configuration authorized by the System Program Office Configuration Control Board (CCB) unless otherwise directed. Data delivery of quality products shall be on-time and accurate; to include data deliverables, as well as free flowing communication from the contractor pertaining to any repair problems, delivery schedule problems, engineering change proposals, and/or mishap notifications. The contractor shall establish and maintain Contractor Manpower Reporting.

1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF): This acquisition will benefit the United States Air Force (USAF) by providing repair support to NSNs associated with the RQ-4 GH. The RQ-4 GH is part of an integrated ISR constellation providing accurate, timely, decision-quality, and critical information to decision-makers, shooters, and other warfighters. The fleet supports missions in AFRICOM, EUCOM, NORTHCOM, PACOM, SOUTHCOM, and CENTCOM.

1.3 Background: The RQ-4 Global Hawk was originally designed using the sustainment concept of Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for Life. In May 2014 an OSD policy letter directed USAF platforms common to another military department be managed by an organic AF activity (incorporated into DODM 4140.68 Enclosure 4, September 2016). The C2ISR Flight was established within the 407 SCMS to coordinate this transition. Transition of Global Hawk material management to organic sustainment is estimated to be complete 1 October 2020. At that time, 407 SCMS will take over as inventory control, to include stock, store, and issue of assets.

The purpose of this contracted effort is to obtain repair services in support of the RQ-4B Global Hawk (GH) and MQ-4 C Triton Air Vehicle (AV), landing gear components, engine components, Mission Control Element, Launch Recover Element (LRE), various sensors, and peculiar support equipment which have an expected operational life exceeding Fiscal Year 2030. The Global Hawk Program Office, AFLCMC/WIG, is focused on the Block 20, Block 30, and Block 40 configurations of the GH. Block 20 is equipped with the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) payload that receives, bridges, and distributes communication on the battlefield. Block 30 is equipped with the Airborne Signals Intelligence Payload (ASIP) that brings Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capability and the Enhanced Integrated Sensor System (EISS) which provides reconnaissance imagery on both stationary and moving targets. Block 40 integrates the AN/ZPY-2 Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP).

4.3.13.1 A repair shall be considered for BER if any one of the following conditions occurs:

4.3.13.1.1 An item is BER if the cost of the repair exceeds 75% of the production quantity price to replace the item, current at time of award. This replacement price is for the purposes of BER determinations only, and may not be used or relied on by the offeror in the pricing of the repairs required by this contract.

4.3.13.1.2 An LRU/SRU can be considered BER if it demonstrates physical damage exceeding 75% of the unit either from the user or accidental damage to include but not limited to corrosion or parts that are missing upon induction. An LRU can also be considered BER for not meeting expected performance requirements, as recommended by the Contractor.

The Contractor shall submit a BER notification to the DCMA QAS for concurrence within 30 calendar days from identification. Within 45 calendar days from identification, a proposal to include the DCMA QAS concurrence shall be submitted to the ACO.

4.3.13.3 The Contractor shall provide notification with a condemnation/BER request through the ACO to the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) /PM for approval/disapproval. The ACO or PCO will negotiate an amount. Approved BERs shall be funded via the BER CLIN at the contract firm fixed price.

4.3.13.4 Once BER is determined the Contractor shall not proceed with the repair until the unit is definitized. Any disposal ordered shall be performed by the Contractor IAW all applicable regulations and IAW all DCMA disposal procedures and requirements. Authority is granted to scrap through Contractor’s standard process for GFM piece parts that the Contractor determined as BER.

4.3.13.5 Any item removed for failure, repaired and subsequently determined to be faulty a second time for the same failure mode is considered a single failure and not subject to a BER action.

4.3.14 Condemnation: Work performed by the Contractor on an asset prior to condemnation will be reimbursed on a Firm Fixed Price basis. If the Government concurs, the ACO or PCO will negotiate an amount. An item is considered a condemnation candidate if an LRU or SRU demonstrates physical damage either from the user or accidental damage to include but not limited to combat action, fire or heat damage, or environmental conditions.

4.3.14.1 The Contractor shall submit a condemnation proposal request within 30 calendar days from Contractor condemnation identification for DCMA QAR concurrence. Condemned items shall be disposed of and demilitarized within 30 days after Government approval.

Authorization from the PCO and system Program Manager shall be required in order for the Contractor to retain the condemned item(s) for cannibalization and reuse. Once the parts needed are removed from the condemned asset, remaining parts/remainder of the asset shall be disposed of and demilitarized per Contractor’s standard process

4.3.14.3 Removing parts, components, or subassemblies to aid in the repair of other units, shall not be reason for condemnation. Parts, components, or subassemblies used to aid in the repair of other units shall be replaced as they become available. Furthermore, condemnations shall not be requested due to unavailability of replacement parts or parts obsolescence.

4.3.15. Over and Above (O&A): An item sent to the Contractor shall be considered to require O&A repair effort if the repair required is not included in the contract pricing. The Contractor shall provide DCMA QAS concurrence, along with a proposal to include delivery date and O&A explanation, through the ACO to the PCO. Written authorization for O&A determination must be received from the system Program Manager through the PCO or ACO prior to commencement of required activity. Definitization will occur via modification.

4.3.16 Configuration Control: All repairs shall be IAW the Contractor’s applicable established shop methods and procedures. Assets shall be delivered in the latest authorized configuration unless otherwise directed by the Government

4.3.16.1 The Contractor shall track and inform the System Engineer/Program Manager of configuration changes within 30 calendar days from induction. Neither design nor functional capabilities shall be changed, modified or altered except when an ECP is submitted and approved.
