About this file
This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for Aircraft Recovery and Salvage Training for Navy Region EURAFCENT. The U.S. Navy requires commercial Aircraft Recovery and Salvage training to maintain sustained safe airfield operations and comply with regulatory requirements outlined in NAVAIR 00-80T-124, NAVAIR 00-80R-20, and AFI 21-101. Historically, the Navy has required training for twenty-four (24) personnel annually, with an estimated need for two training sessions per year. The contract guarantees a minimum of one training event over the entire contract duration, with no obligation for additional sessions beyond this minimum.
The contractor must provide comprehensive training courses between three and five consecutive days conducted at a site within the European theater. Theory training (one day) shall cover basic aircraft recovery principles, equipment familiarization, regulatory requirements, equipment introduction, planning exercises, recovery operations, ground reinforcement, and recovery methods. Practical training (consecutive days) must include hands-on exercises using a contractor-provided narrow-body or equivalent static aircraft, covering Nose Landing Gear collapse, aircraft tethering, recovery lift airbags, de-bogging operations, full airbag lifts, and CAT-1, CAT-2, and CAT-3 fuselage lifts. Training shall be 10 hours per day (0600-1800 GMT) with a one-hour lunch break. The contractor must provide instructors with subject matter expertise in Aircraft Recovery Manuals (Boeing) and Aircraft Recovery Documents (Airbus); English language proficiency; all classroom materials and Personal Protective Equipment except safety boots; transportation between hotels and training sites; secure classroom facilities with appropriate amenities; two non-participating safety observers per class; industry-recognized Aircraft Recovery Certificates of Proficiency; medical first responder emergency services; and updated training materials incorporating the most current publications, validated one month prior to training execution.

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
Aircraft Recovery and Salvage Training for Navy Region EURAFCENT
1. Background:
1.1. Aircraft Recovery and Salvage capability is required to ensure sustained safe airfield operations throughout Navy Region Europe, Africa, Central. NAVAIR 00-80T-124 (31 May 2024) Navy Mission Essential Task (NMET) Appendix E, 4.15.3.2 states: Provide Airfield Services.
1.2. Provide airfield management oversight of airfield facilities, airfield lighting, markings and signage, clearance of runway debris, ice, or snow, and the Bird/Animal Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) and Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Programs. (OPNAVINST 3710.7T, OPNAVINST
4790.2H, NAVAIRINST 13640.1B, NAVAIRINST 13800.13B, NAVAIRINST 3710.1E,
NAVAIR 00-80R-20, CNICINST 3700.3 series).
1.3. NAVAIR 00-80R-20 NATOPS U.S. Navy Aircraft Salvage Operations (Ashore) states that a salvage pre-mishap plan, responsibilities, and equipment are required to recover damaged or immobile aircraft from on-station/off-station aircraft accidents.
1.4. Air Force instruction AFI 21-101 Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance Management states that all host and tenant commands with flying missions or active airfields/runways are required to maintain a Crash Damaged or Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) capability. Lacking formal military training for the various types of commercial and heavy lift aircraft frequented throughout the Region, airfield Aircraft Recovery and Salvage training shall be obtained through commercial vendors.
2. Minimum Requirements:
2.1. Contractor shall provide commercial Aircraft Recovery and Salvage training.
Historically US Navy has required training to twenty-four (24) personnel annually. The Contractor shall schedule U.S. Navy centric training sessions upon Task Order placement.
The U.S. Navy estimates the need for two training sessions per year; however, this frequency may vary, and the U.S. Navy is not obligated to order anything above this contract’s guaranteed minimum of one training event over the entire duration of the contract.
2.2. Provide training at a site within the European theater.
2.3. The classroom training shall meet the following criteria:
2.3.1. Provide one day of theory training to include the following:
2.3.2. Introduce the basic principles of aircraft recovery and familiarization with the equipment that will be used
2.3.3. Regulatory requirements
DRAFT
2.3.4. Introduction aircraft recovery equipment
2.3.5. Planning the aircraft recovery/table-top exercises
2.3.6. Conducting recovery operations
2.3.7. Ground/surface reinforcement/stabilization
2.3.8. Recovery methods
3. Practical training: Conducted in consecutive days following the theory training and includes the following:
3.1. Utilize a contractor provided narrow body, or equivalent, static aircraft.
3.2. Perform Nose Landing Gear (NGL) collapse using a narrow-body aircraft (B737 or A320) or larger to include:
3.3. Aircraft tethering exercise
3.4. Deployment and use of recovery lift airbags using protection pads and control console
3.5. Fuselage nose lift to extend landing gear after simulated nose wheel retracted landing
