STATEMENT OF WORK

RELIABILITY-CENTERED MAINTENANCE

1.0

SCOPE

1.1 The Industrial and Logistics Maintenance Planning/Sustainment Department (AIR-6.7) is responsible, among other activities, for providing reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) for new procurement and in-service aircraft, engines, systems (i.e., weapons, aircrew escape systems, avionics, and electrical systems), Support Equipment (SE) (i.e., avionics support equipment, non-avionics support equipment, and aircraft launch/recovery equipment) and depot plant equipment, including their modification, during all life cycle phases and levels of maintenance.

1.2 RCM is an analytical process to determine the appropriate failure management strategies, including preventive maintenance (PM) requirements and other actions that are warranted to ensure safe operations and cost-wise readiness. This process of developing PM requirements, with an auditable documentation package, is based on the reliability of the various components, the severity of the consequences related to safety and mission if failure occurs, and the cost effectiveness of the task. The NAVAIR 00-25-403 manual is the primary guidance document for anyone tasked with implementing an RCM program or performing an RCM analysis on Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) managed equipment. Section 4.0 of this PBSOW defines the specific requirements relating to contract performance.

1.3 RCM is required across all NAVAIR National Sites, including NAVAIR Headquarters at Patuxent River, MD, the NAWCADs at Patuxent River, MD, Lakehurst, NJ and Orlando, FL; the NAWCWDs located at China Lake, CA and Point Mugu, CA; the ISSCs located at Jacksonville, FL, Cherry Point, NC, and North Island, CA.

1.4 The potential customers include, but are not limited to, AIR 6.0 Competency and Business Unit, PEO(A), PEO(T), PEO(U&W), PEO(JSF), AIR-1.0 and FRCSE, FRCSW, FRCE.

1.5 This SOW is intended to cover RCM across NAVAIR. This program utilizes the following types of funding: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, (RDT&E), Procurement, Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and Foreign Military Sales (FMS).

1.6 The following Government direction and /or oversight apply to all line items for the RCM Non Performance-based SOW:

The desired outcomes must be accomplished to satisfy the requirement in accordance with Government direction and / or approval. All outcome analysis tasks must be accomplished to arrive at the desired outcomes as directed by the Government. Performance analysis for when or how that the outcome has been satisfactorily achieved and how much deviation from the performance standard will be allowed by the contractor, at the direction of the Government.
