PERFORMANCE BASED STATEMENT OF WORK

NAVAL TEST WING ATLANTIC AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE, MODIFICATION AND AIRCREW SUPPORT

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL), an echelon four command of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), is a cognizant authority for active test and evaluation (T&E) and participation in all phases of the weapon system life cycle process for fixed, rotary wing, unmanned aerial, and lighter-than-air vehicles. The test articles are provided to NWTL and its test squadrons through several methods. The primary source of assignment is by a major program office for the development, procurement and sustainment of Navy, Marine or Joint Force use systems. However, other sources of assignment, of articles subjected to T&E by NTWL, include other service components of the Department of Defense, foreign national defense and commercial systems, other US government agencies engaged in flight operations, as well as commercial aviation flight activities. The scope and complexity of these test articles are not limited to full scale air vehicle systems. NTWL provides full system spectrum test capability from complete aircraft down to sub-system components, expendable weapon, sensor, and deception articles and flight worthy software designed to operate and configure the system and its components.

1.1 Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) operations bear risk in every aspect when considered in regard to the objectives of a development program where cost and schedule are typically driving harder than those of performance, however safe and efficient flight operation clearly is the highest priority at this command. NTWL is the resource manager charged with reducing the risks associated with the hazards of flight, as well as ground operations, around flight equipment. To mitigate these risks NTWL desires the most qualified, experienced and current personnel within its work force. NTWL is in constant competition for these resources while worldwide commitment for our military forces remains high, budgets are thin, and fleet units are tasked at unprecedented levels. For these reasons, a contracted maintenance service work force is feasible, desirable and affordable when considered an investment returned in schedule achieved to get the best equipment out to the War-fighter. In addition, the right contracted work force, one that is already trained, experienced, and engrained with the best business practice of process discipline, brings both the opportunity to meet test commitments, and achieve the goal of safe flight operation.

3.0 SCOPE

3.1 All work performance specified in this PBSOW will be accomplished at NTWL, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, Maryland, except for occasional off-site maintenance for aircraft that are not mission capable. Alternate work sites to include, but not limited to, are United States Naval Vessels in support of projects (detachments) or unscheduled en-route maintenance as authorized by the COR. Detachment specifics will be addressed in each activity’s metric section.

3.2 This Performance Work Statement (PBSOW) establishes the requirements for the Organizational, Intermediate and Depot Level aircraft maintenance and logistic support on all aircraft and Support Equipment (SE) for which Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL) has maintenance responsibility. Additionally, labor and services are required to perform supportability/safety studies on various NTWL aircraft and weapon systems, and off-site aircraft safety/spill containment patrols and aircraft recovery services. Aircrew services are also required as pilots and load master/observers for NTWL. NTWL consists of four squadrons. NTWL squadrons include: Air Test and Evaluation Squadron TWO ZERO (VX-20), Air Test and Evaluation Squadron TWO ONE (HX-21), Air Test and Evaluation Squadron TWO THREE (VX-23), and the United States Navy Test Pilot School (USNTPS). The NTWL will provide Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) and Government Quality Assurance Representative(s) (GQAR) to monitor contractor performance.

3.3 The contract labor and services performed under this PBSOW are subject to a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM&AW). Furthermore, Maryland is not “a right to work state” and as such employees cannot opt out of the union and continue employment under the contracted effort. Per FAR Subpart 22.1008, Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended Section 4(c), successorship with incumbent CBA is mandated. See Appendix A to this PBSOW for further information regarding the CBA. Following is the current negotiated CBA:

3.4 All work is to be performed per applicable Navy, Army, and Air Force technical manuals, directives and commercial manuals. All aircraft maintenance, administrative and quality control procedures will comply with applicable provisions of CNAF Instruction 4790.2 series and applicable service manuals. Local work packages and checklists will be developed, revised annually and used to the greatest extent possible. Contractor’s quality control inspection procedures will provide a clear audit trail for all work accomplished. Transient aircraft will receive normal servicing and correction of safety of flight discrepancies. Any other work to be performed on transient aircraft must be approved by the COR, the squadron/activity Maintenance Officer (MO) and the senior member of the detachment (military/civilian).

Proposed Schedule: Monthly Maintenance Plans will detail scheduled maintenance on aircraft and support equipment to be supported by the contractor. Monthly Maintenance Plans will be updated as required to meet changing workload requirements at Navy scheduled maintenance conferences between the squadron maintenance officers and the contractor.

3.5 Support Concept:

3.6.1 The aircraft support concept is maintenance at the Organizational (O), Intermediate (I), and Depot (D) level. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing total maintenance, logistics, and technical support, for squadron/activity aircraft, and associated equipment, in order to meet the daily flight schedule (DFS). Aircraft inventories are identified in each activities metric section.

3.6.2 Limited Intermediate maintenance support for the T-6 aircraft is received from the local FRC/Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) contract. FRC/AIMD will provide Intermediate maintenance for the T-6 battery, tire & wheel buildup, ejection seat pan and survival kit. Parachute support will be provided by NAS Pensacola AIMD. This effort shall comply with maintenance and inspection requirements resulting from routine operations of the aircraft and any special inspection programs (i.e. ENSIP, ASIP, etc.).

3.6.3 The Program Office will determine when maintenance procedures require modification from the basic manuals and will issue Navy approved Maintenance Engineering Directives (MEDS), Interim Operational Supplements (IOSs), or Technical Directives (TDs) to incorporate the specific requirement.

3.6.3.1 The Navy reserves the right to deviate from criteria established by the approved technical service maintenance procedures. The MO/DMO shall notify the Contractor, in writing, of deviations to the approved maintenance requirements.

3.6.4 The Contractor will establish and maintain contact with military, civilian and/or other contractor personnel as needed to solve technical or logistics issues. Maintenance Control shall communicate directly with squadron Operations for flight schedule preparation and execution.

3.6.5 Successful execution of this PBSOW is dependent on the staffing of personnel with experience in the associated Type/Model/Series aircraft. Paramount to this Performance Work Statement is the execution of safe, quality work ensuring aircraft availability and flight safety.

3.6 Maintenance Department General Hours of Operation:

The above stated hours are general operating hours for all squadrons at NTWL. Any variances will be provided by the squadrons. When the need for Weekend/Holiday flight and maintenance operations arises, notice will be given by the squadron/activity Maintenance Officer or his designated representative to the Contractor at least 48 hours prior to the first flight event. The Government reserves the right to cancel these operations with no less than 12 hours notice.

4.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS, APPLICABLE INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTICES

4.1 The contractor shall adhere to the following documents in accordance with the Technical Requirements section of this PBSOW:
