PERFORMANCE BASED STATEMENT OF WORK

NAVAL TEST WING ATLANTIC AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE, MODIFICATION AND AIRCREW SUPPORT

INDEX

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL), an echelon four command of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), is the cognizant authority on active test and evaluation (T&E) and a participant in all phases of the weapon system life cycle process for fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The primary source of assignment of test articles to NTWL and its test squadrons 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 include Department of Defense (DoD) components, foreign national defense and commercial entities, non-DoD US Government agencies engaged in flight operations, and 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 to sub-system components, as well as expendable weapon, sensor, and deception articles and flight worthy software designed to operate and configure the system and its components.

1.2 Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) operations bear risk in every aspect when considering the objectives of a development program where cost and schedule demands may supersede those of performance; however, safe and efficient flight operation is the highest priority at this command. NTWL is the resource manager charged with reducing the risks associated with flight and ground operations.

3.0 SCOPE

3.1 The majority of work performance specified in this Performance Based Statement of Work (PBSOW) will be accomplished at NTWL, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, and Webster Outlying Field, Saint Inigoes, Maryland except for occasional off-site maintenance for non-mission capable aircraft. Additional alternate work sites include (but are not limited to) United States Naval Vessels in support of projects (detachments) or unscheduled en-route maintenance as authorized by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

3.2 This PBSOW establishes the requirements for the Organizational Level aircraft maintenance and logistics support on aircraft and Support Equipment (SE) for which Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL) has maintenance responsibility to include assigned aircraft (rotary, fixed, lighter-than-air, unmanned), aircraft on-site for project testing, transient aircraft, FMS aircraft, loaner aircraft, training aircraft, leased aircraft, aircraft located at, but not assigned to USNTPS, which conduct Qualitative Evaluations and other curriculum and civilian aircraft tested at NAWCAD. 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. Limited Aircrew services are also required as pilots (e.g. a single functional check flight pilot defined in section 6.1.13) and air crew (as defined in sections 6.1.13.4-6.1.13.6). NTWL consists of four squadrons: 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 Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS).

3.3 The Contractor shall comply with the Service Contract Act. The majority of contracted labor is covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and Department of Labor (DoL) Area Wage Determinations (Attachments J-14 and J-15).

3.4 All aircraft maintenance and administrative tasks are to be performed per applicable Navy, Army, and Air Force technical manuals, directives, Federal Aviation Administrative and commercial manuals. Flight Operating Procedures and Ground Operating Procedures (GOPs) shall be written to cover the requirements in NAVAIRINST 3710.1G.

PAX FRC shall provide Intermediate maintenance for the T-6 battery, tire & wheel buildup, ejection seat pan and survival kit. Parachute support shall be provided by NAS Pensacola FRC. This effort shall comply with maintenance and inspection requirements resulting from routine operations of the aircraft and any special inspection programs (i.e. Engine Structural Integrity Program (ENSIP), Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP), etc.).

3.6.2 The Program Offices 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.

3.6.2.1 The Navy reserves the right to deviate from criteria established by the approved technical service maintenance procedures. The MO/DMO will notify the Contractor, in writing, of deviations to the approved maintenance requirements. At times (e.g., to gain efficiencies), the Contractor may need to deviate from approved technical service maintenance procedures. The Contractor shall request such deviations through the MO/DMO and WING MO with approval by the COR.

3.6.2.2 In instances when “preliminary procedures” must be utilized, the preliminary procedures shall be reviewed and approved by the Naval Test Wing Atlantic Ordnance Officer per NAVTESTWINGLANTINST 8020.1 (e.g. procedures such as Government ground and flight test plans involving carriage or employment of air launched stores or ordnance systems that are under test).

When a maintenance or technical publication provided by the Government via the Central Technical Publications Library (CTPL) is subsequently revised, supplemented, replaced, or rescinded, the Contractor shall be required to comply. Conflict between this and any applicable document shall be referred to the NTWL MO and COR for resolution.

4.2 The Contractor shall be bound by the operating procedures contained in the combined regulation/instruction entitled “Contractor’s Flight and Ground Operations” (NAVAIRINST 3710.1G) in effect on the date of the contract award. The Contractor should use CNAFINST 4790.2B CH-1 to build their Ground Operating Procedures (GOP); however, if commercial best practices or company procedures are submitted in lieu of CNAFINST 4790.2B CH-1 standards, the GFR is authorized to accept these standards if he/she deems them safe and effective to carry out a given aviation maintenance program. In all cases, the GFR must approve the procedures to be accepted by the Government. Many CNAFINST 4790.2B CH-1 programs cross pollinate into other programs; therefore, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to detail how their Ground Operating Procedures will seamlessly work together with CNAFINST 4790.2B CH-1 programs.

4.3 The following are specific maintenance programs or procedures that shall follow the CNAFINST 4790.2B CH-1 due to the tools used to manage these programs/processes.

The Contractor may choose to reduce the number of OJT training events or other redundant elements to reduce time and cost. NOTE: The CTPL school requirement for the Aeronautical Technical Publications Management Course (C-555-0007 and subsequent course numbers), is encouraged for new hires, but not required if a robust CTPL training/OJT program is in place. All other aviation ground programs must have an approved GOP as per the requirements of NAVAIRINST 3710.1G. In all cases, the Contractor is responsible for writing, implementing and enforcing their GOPs. The Contractor shall provide each employee with comprehensive initial indoctrination training sufficient to enable him/her to perform authorized ground operations in a safe and effective manner. All ground personnel performing ground operations shall be qualified for the procedures they are required to perform (utilize GOP training matrix located in the NAVAIRINST 3710.1G).
