Manufacturing and Delivery of

Mobile Facilities (MF) January 2012

1. Introduction

1.0 Scope:

This acquisition is structured for the contractor to identify parts obsolesces and integrity of the drawing package prior to full production. We intend to procure one (1) First Article Test (FAT) of each type (#1339AS500-1, 1339AS501-1, 1339AS700-1, 1339AS900-1, 1339AS1000-1, 1339AS1100-1) which consists of both specimen (coupon) and Mobile Facility (MF), for production testing by the contractor. In the process of producing the FAT units, the contractor will be responsible to identify part substitutions and provide technical information to support the substitutions as defined below. At the completion of the FAT units, the contractor will be responsible to conduct functional test to ensure the units meets standards in accordance with (IAW) NAVAIR 1339AS463 and all related Convention for Safe Container (CSC) requirements. With the successful completion of the required shelter testing, the government will provide a release for production for the units awarded through the life of the contract. The MF shall be manufactured in accordance with a government drawing package NAVAIR 1339AS463.

1.1 Purpose:

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines and describes the requirements for the contractor to manufacture MF’s in accordance with government drawing package NAVAIR 1339AS463. Completion of the FAT units are required within 180 Days After Contract (DAC). The evaluation will last for a period of 90 days. Upon successful completion of functional testing we intend to place orders for the first production year. Another four production years will be available to place orders beyond that. Delivery shall be 180 Days After Receipt of Order (ARO).

1.2 Objective:

The offeror shall provide a narrative discussing in detail the approach that will be taken to meet the requirements for the FAT IAW NAVAIR 1339AS463 for both specimen and MF. This narrative shall include a detailed description of how the offeror will conduct the required tests and specialized equipment required and list any vendors that will be used and the testing they will perform.

1.3 Background:

NAVAIR is seeking to procure MF’s to be used to support the testing and operation of various avionics gear by the Marine Corps in training and expeditionary scenarios. The MF is a mobile habitable shelter that is 8 feet wide by 20 feet long by 8 feet high. Operationally, MF’s are setup in a complex austere expeditionary environment.

2.0 Applicable Documents:

Drawing package NAVAIR 1339AS463, which defines the manufacturing of the MF.

3.0 Task Requirements:

3.1. Program schedule (CDRL A001): Within 30 days after contract award, a program schedule will be delivered in accordance with CDRL A001. The program schedule will outline all steps in the manufacturing, testing and delivery of the MF’s.

3.2. Bill of Materials (CDRL A002): Within 60 days after contract award, a complete bill of materials will be delivered in accordance with CDRL A002. The bill of materials will be based on the components and materials listed in the drawing package and shall list the drawing numbers, part numbers and vendors for all purchased parts as listed on the drawings. If the drawing’s suggested source will be used no further information is needed. If an alternate source for any component is proposed that are form, fit, and function interchangeable with the parts on the drawings, the list shall be annotated with the alternate vendor and part number, reason for substitution and catalog specification sheet and other supporting information showing interchangeability. Alternate parts that are not form, fit, and functional substitutes will not be accepted unless the part from suggested source is no longer available and no interchangeable part can be found after reasonable research. In this case, the bill of materials shall be annotated as such and in addition to the information described above, all other changes necessary to use the substitute shall be provided. Identification of these changes shall be through ‘redline’ mark-ups of all drawings as well as mark up of the technical manual pages affected by the substitution.

3.3 Technical Interchange Meetings (CDRL A002A): The government intends to conduct at least two technical interchange meetings prior to the manufacturing of the FAT units. The first will be the Post Award Conference (PAC) occurring on or about 30 days after contract. The purpose of the meeting will be to review the drawing package to address any questions and concerns on the performance of the contract. The second meeting will be held after the delivery of CDRL A002 to review the parts substitution and address any issues and concerns with the bill of materials. The contractor will be responsible for hosting the meeting (approximately 5 government attendees), preparing any review material and for recording and delivering the minutes of the meetings in accordance with CDRL A002A.

3.4 FAT Test Plan (CDRL A003): Within 60 days after contract, an acceptance test plan shall be provided in accordance with CDRL A003. This data item shall describe each of the tests/inspections that are needed to demonstrate that the FAT units meet all of the top performance requirements. The test plan shall include all check lists, data sheets and procedures to perform the inspections and functional tests. The plan shall also list all equipment and measurement tools (with calibration certifications as required) that will be used during testing. Note: This test plan will be used for production testing/inspections for acceptance of each production unit.

3.5 FAT Testing: Within 90 days after contract, the contractor shall have the six (6) FAT units tested IAW CSC Testing. The contractor shall notify the government at least 14 days prior to the test event to allow for witnessing of the event. FAT units will remain with the contractor and all testing will be performed at the contractor’s location.

3.6 FAT Test Report (CDRL A003A): Within 180 days after contract a test report shall be delivered in accordance with CDRL A003A. The test report shall document the results of all testing. If any failures occurred during the testing the contractor shall provide a detailed description of the failure, steps taken to correct it, any changes to the unit design that will be necessary to correct the underlying cause of the failure (this information can be communicated through markups of the drawing package and or technical manual) and results of the retest.

3.7 Release for production: With the approval of the test report, the government shall release the contractor to begin the production of all units under contract. Prior to this, all purchase of materials and manufacturing shall be at the contractor’s expense and risk. Within 90 days of the release for production, the contractor shall begin delivery of the production units and will continue to do so at an indefinite quantity rate. Each unit shall be subjected to the subset of production tests/inspections as identified in CDRL A003. Test report and completed data sheets for each unit shall be maintained at the contractor’s facility and delivered in accordance with CDRL A003 30 days after the delivery of the last production unit.

3.8 Configuration Control (CDRLs A004, A005, A006, and A007): The contractor shall submit Class I and Class II Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) (See CDRLs A004 and A007), and all minor, major, and Critical Requests for Deviation/Waiver (See CDRLs A005 and A006)Upon final delivery of the Technical Data Package, the procuring activity will assume configuration control of the MF.

3.9 Shipping: Transportation of MF’s shall be IAW DOD Regulation 4500.9R and NAVAIRINST 13670.1C paragraph 13.a. which states must utilize air ride equipment with MFs chain secured. Rail transportation shall not be used.
