1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Since the 1950s, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been operating and maintaining the Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR), and Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) systems (hereinafter, DVT Systems) providing ranging and azimuth services to the equipped aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS).

The FAA DME/VOR/TACAN Supportability Study Report (dated July 2, 2018) indicated that the DVT Systems are operating well beyond their intended service life because of a robust system design and a dedicated maintenance workforce. However, due to identified obsolescence issues, the DVT Systems will not be supportable in the long term without a comprehensive Sustainment Program. Thus, the DVT Systems Sustainment Program was created to manage the long-term sustainment of the DVT Systems in the NAS.

1.2 Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) provides for the design, development, qualification, manufacturing, acquisition, installation, training, and logistics support of the DVT Systems. The DVT Systems to be procured by the FAA must be capable of operating independently, integrated with each other, and into the configurations deployed in the NAS.

The Contractor must perform the work identified in this SOW and as assigned through Task Orders (TOs) or Delivery Orders (DOs) to deliver the systems and related documentation.

3.14 System Implementation

As required by a TO, the Contractor must implement the system, including system installation.

The Contractor must assign a single Implementation Manager with the responsibility and authority to manage all Contractor services and personnel during an implementation project and be the POC for the FAA during the entirety of the project. The Contractor must develop a System Implementation Management Program to conduct planning, coordination, implementation, testing, and check-out procedures of all implementation activities. For any work within the bounds of an airport authority, the Contractor must meet all of the Airport Authority’s security requirements. The Contractor is required to have the necessary insurance and bonding for working on a specified airport. This insurance is different from the insurance required to work at a FAA facility and is required by some airports as additional insurance. The FAA will not provide contractors with vehicles, dedicated escorts, communication equipment, or transportation. If airport badging is required, the Contractor is responsible for meeting those requirements and must adhere to Airport Authority security and badging policies. System Implementation Management activities include but are not limited to the following services and deliverables:

a. Provide the FAA (for review and concurrence) with preliminary Site Implementation Plans (SIP) and final SIPs describing the overarching approach for all site-specific implementation activities;

b. Schedule with the FAA and conduct a site survey for each project site assigned via a TO;
