This includes providing cooling air during anechoic chamber test operations to one or more aircraft. The current ACU has over 20 years of operational runtime and is a single point of failure ground test support asset for anechoic chamber testing.

Therefore, a requirement to install a second ACU to be utilized as a backup or primary unit has developed requiring a new ACU. The new ACU system will interface with the existing supply piping/ducting, power systems, control systems and miscellaneous equipment. Engineering studies and analyses shall be performed to quantify current system capacity and capability to determine the minimum requirements for the new system.

1.4 Scope. The contractor shall provide engineering, design, material, labor, equipment, supervision and project management necessary to fabricate, factory test, deliver and install an aircraft cooling system as described herein.

Upon fabrication completion of the unit and integration of the required components, the contractor shall factory test the new ACU system, document and verify performance prior to delivery and perform a system acceptance test after installation of the ACU on-site. In addition, the contractor shall provide training services to the BAF personnel responsible for the operation of the equipment.
