The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to document the requirements for the manufacturing of the fall protection system needed for the ARSRs, referred to as kits. This SOW also covers the purchasing of the Mine Safety Appliance (MSA) items needed for the LSS. The fall protection systems will be installed by trained FAA Engineering and Electronic Technicians. In priority order this contract is for production of (17) ARSR-4.
