C.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Statement of Work (SOW) documents the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for supply, replacement, and repair of battery systems at FAA National Air Space (NAS) facilities located in the United States and its Territories.
C.1.1 BACKGROUND
There are approximately 2,000 NAS facilities that have battery systems that are sustained by Power Systems Group (PSG) Facilities and Equipment (F&E) funding. PSG Battery system support is necessary to maintain reliable backup power to critical NAS electronic equipment. The projected life expectancy of FAA batteries varies depending on the battery type and application. To ensure reliable battery power is available at FAA facilities, a planned replacement effort with reliable battery supply sources is required. FAA facilities utilize Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) and Vented Lead Acid (VLA) batteries.
Where NAS system utilize VRLA batteries, front facing racks are required to minimize safety concerns. Enclosed racks with top terminal batteries are not acceptable. Where string or rack replacement is required due to premature failure or end of service life, NAS facilities may prefer like-for-like replacements. . Where like-for-like battery selection is not practical, NAS facilities may consider equivalent batteries. Historically, FAA facilities prefer like-for-like to maximize training, logistics and cost benefits associated with standardization.
C.1.2 SCOPE
The Contractor must provide Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) battery systems and services to support NAS facility backup power requirements.
Based on facility requirements, battery systems may include but are not limited to the following: battery cells/jars, battery strings, battery racks, Automated Battery Monitors (ABM), Real-Time Interface & Conversion Items (RICI), battery spill containment, battery accessories/support equipment and battery ventilation modification (BVM) equipment (exhaust fan, timer and H2 sensor).
Based on facility requirements, battery services may include but are not limited to the following: battery delivery, battery repair (VLA epoxy cover repair), battery recycling, battery system replacement, battery system testing/reports, ABM commissioning or setup, battery surveys, survey reports, BVM designs (including volume and hydrogen evolution calculation) and BVM installations.
