AMENDMENT 0001

The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions received during the solicitation phase and update Section B, Section G, and the Performance Work Statement.

The solicitation closing date will NOT be extended.

Contracts: Jillian Kohler, 732-323-4589 or jillian.kohler@navy.mil

QUESTION 1: Do copies of certifications, as required on Page 37, Technical Requirements, count towards the 15 page limit for Volume 1 of the Proposal submission?

ANSWER 1: No.

QUESTION 2: Do the completed Past Performance Evaluation Data sheets (Attachment 1) for the three relevant past contracts count towards the 15 page limit for Volume 1 of the Proposal submission?

ANSWER 2: No.

QUESTION 3: For CLIN’s 0001, 0101, and 0201 of Section B, is the Unit ‘EACH’ or ‘LOT’? Also for these CLIN’s is the Max Quantitiy 1 or 2?

ANSWER 3: This amendment hereby changes CLIN’s 0001, 0101, and 0102 from ‘LOT’ to ‘EACH’. The maximum quantity is 2 (two).

QUESTION 4: For CLIN’s 00202, 0102, and 0202 of Section B, is the Max Quantity 1 or 2?

ANSWER 4: The maximum quantity is 2 (two).

QUESTION 5: Reference Page 11, 2.5 Specifics, Paragraph 2.5.3 indicates requirements a) through f) are to be performed “Once the repair is ordered, the T63-A-700 engines are to be serviced per the following requirements.” However, the shipping, cleaning, and inspection portions of these requirements must be conducted prior to NAVAIR cognixant prsonnel reviewing and ordering the proposed repairs. Please confirm.

ANSWER 5: The Perfromance Work Statement is hereby revised to provide clarification.

QUESTION 6: Reference Page 11, Paragraph 2.4: Beyond Economical Repair (BER), will a BER decision by the Technical Point of Contact then allow the contractor to invoice for CLIN’s 0001, 0101, and 0201 and CLINs 0002, 0102, and 0202.

ANSWER 6: If the engine is determined to be BER, the Contractor will invoice against CLINS 0001, 0101, and 201 for the tear down and inspection. CLINs 0002, 0102, and 0202 are not separatly priced. The Contractor should not propose a price for those CLINs.

QUESTION 7: For CLIN’s 0004, 0104, and 0204 of Section B, is the Max Quantity 1, 2 or UNDEFINED?

ANSWER 7: UNDEFINED, this will be begotiated at a per order basis.

QUESTION 8: Please confirm a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) proposal for Materials is the requirment. Materials for this type work are dependent on: the condition of each engine; whether there are missing parts; which OEM service bulletins and letters are in effect at time of work; the serviceability condition of all internal engine parts other than the life-limited parts; the specific times and cycles of the life-limited parts; and the specific times for each of the life-limited ecternal accessories.

ANSWER 8: The anticipated contract award is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). Once the initial IDIQ is awarded , then a delivery order is awarded that funds the required work. It is anticipated that the first delivery order will be for CLINs 0001 and 0002, for the Tear Down and Inspection of the engine and CDRL A001. As part of the Tear Down and Inspect and CDRL A001, the Contractor is to submit the labor hours required to service the engine to RFI and the material required and its associated costs. Once the TPOC reviews the list of material and labor hours required to RFI the engine, that deviery order will then be amended to add the number of labor hours (CLIN 0003) required and a FFP line item for Material (CLIN 0004). Essentially, a two part delivery order.

QUESTION 9: Page 38, Paragraph 3: Price indicates “Material will be negotiated on a per order basis based on supplier quotes.” This appears to be in conflct with the Firm Fixed Price proposal required for CLINs 0002, 0104, and 0204 of Section B. Can you explain further how Material price is to be proposed.

ANSWER 9: See answer 8. At this time, the offeror is not to propose any material.

QUESTION 10: Page 38, Paragraph 3: Price indicates “Material will be cost only, no fee.” Is it the Government’s requirement that Material be provided to the Government at supplier’s cost?

ANSWER 10: Yes.

QUESTION 11: Does the Government intend to supply any of its own spare parts for this work?

ANSWER 11: No.

QUESITON 12: For CLINs 0005, 0105, and 0205 of Section B, is the Max Quantity 1 or 2?

ANSWER 12: Maximum quanity is 2 (two).

QUESTION 13: Page 15, Section E, Inspection and Acceptance states that I/A will b performed at Destination whereas page 19, Clause 252.232-7006 Wide Area Workflow Payment Instructions states that I/A will be performed at Origin. Please confirm which is correct.

ANSWER 13: Inspection and Acceptance will be Destination.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFROMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND:

NAVAIR conducts the Navy‘s last step aviation turbine engine oils and helicopter gearbox oils qualification testing in The Propulsion Systems Evaluation Facility (PSEF) Test cell 123. This test involves running the engine test oil inside an Allison 250-C18/T63-A-700 turbo-shaft engine for multiple cycles. The Allison turbo-shaft engine is a piece of test hardware that is inspected after each test to determine the oil effectiveness. The engine is reused after each test if possible. The Allison turbo-shaft engine must be overhauled to Ready For Issue (RFI) condition prior to each oil qualification test.

1.2 PURPOSE:

This PWS defines the requirement for Repair of Repairables (ROR) for the Allison 250-C18/T63-A-700 engines that will be Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to the Contractor for repair/overhauling. Normal overhaul and repair practices processes and procedures are to be utilized throughout engine servicing in all areas except those specifically noted below.

1.3 SCOPE:

Contractor shall provide to the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) C18/T63-A-700 engines in Ready For Issue (RFI) condition, replace the components in accordance with Section 2 of this Statement of Work to return them to RFI condition, or to determine the final disposition of the engines.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS

2.1 OVERHAUL/REPAIR/TEST

The contract will cover repair services that cannot be accomplished at Navy Maintenance Activities. The services shall include disassembly, cleaning, inspection and repair to the piece-part level of major sub-components and subsequent reassembly testing and adjustments and/or calibration as necessary. All repairs shall be made using equivalent commercial original equipment manufactured (OEM) replacement parts and publications and the units shall be returned to fully operational Ready For Issue (RFI) condition.

2.2 READY FOR ISSUE (RFI) DEFINITION

Items are considered to be RFI when the item can be used to perform its intended function, to its fullest capability without failure as verified by the Contractor.

2.3 PRIOR AUTHORIZATION

Before performing calibration or repair, the Contractor shall perform teardown and analysis of repair requirements and issue a test and evaluation report to the Government Technical Point of Contact, Eric Hille, in accordance with Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) A001. This report is to include an itemized list indicating the material and labor associated with the repair and test to the Government and/or recommendation for condemnation.

Work performed by the Contractor shall be at the location(s) identified in the report and in accordance with the agreed upon work procedure. To the extent the Contractor is providing a replacement vice repairing, that component shall be manufactured/supplied in accordance with the latest OEM approved specification. A repair services report is to be submitted following a repair/replacement effort in accordance with CDRLs A002.

2.4 BEYOND ECONOMICAL REPAIR (BER)

The Contractor will advise the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and the Technical Point of Contact of the cost details and await disposition instructions for repair costs exceeding 75% of the acquisition cost ($300K).

2.5 SPECIFICS

2.5.1 Service the Allison 250-C18/T63-A-700 engines used for oil qualification testing. The engines are used for the qualification of aviation turbine engine oils and helicopter gearbox oils. The T63 is essential to the Navy’s oil qualification and development programs. It is used to evaluate lubricants and the test results allow only the highest quality product to the fleet. It is also essential in solving fleet service issues should they arise.

2.5.2 These lubricant test engines are operated only in a test cell and as such; do not require that all parts be in flight worthy condition. However, all parts must be in sufficient condition to ensure safe operation. Safety of operation is the primary concern and minor performance losses are acceptable as stated in paragraph 2.5.4.

2.5.3 The engine shall be shipped from NAVAIR to the contractor either complete or disassembled. Clean and examine the engine parts to insure operational safety. Non-Destructive Inspections are required on the gas producer and power turbine rotating components. After the initial inspection and cleaning of the engine the Contractor shall provide a list of proposed repair and replacement parts. NAVAIR cognizant personnel will then have the opportunity to review the list of repairs and propose modifications if necessary. (CLINs 0001, 0101, and 0201)

Once the repair is ordered, the T63A700 engines are to be serviced per the following requirements:

1. Replace any unsafe or excessively worn components as needed. Replacement parts need not be in flight worthy condition, but must ensure safe operation of the engine. Replace the number 6, 7 and 8 bearings and the number 6/7 bearing external oil sump on every rebuild with new parts.

1. Clean all parts. Clean the oil wetted parts to an "as new" condition. “As New” is defined as all oil wetted surfaces are cleaned to bare metal with no remaining oil deposits from previous operations.

1. The number 6/7 bearing oil jet must be thoroughly cleaned and flow checked prior to each installation. Flow check shall be conducted per contractor Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

1. Due to the high temperature operation of the engines in this program, the oil pump and pressure regulator in the gearbox require additional overhaul actions. The helical spring in the poppet valve of the oil pressure regulator (P/N 6809796) must be replaced with a new part during each overhaul. The oil pump should be rebuilt so that the gear “end clearance” is at the lower end of the stated 0.0020.004 in. tolerance range. This is to insure adequate pump pressure at our higher operating temperature, which is 300°F oil.

1. The power turbine governor and gas producer fuel control will be preserved before shipment and should be functionally checked on the engine during the test cell check run. If functional problems arise during the end of overhaul performance run, the NAVAIR engineer should be notified before proceeding with repairs.

1. Thoroughly check all component accessories according to standard commercial procedures to insure satisfactory and safe operation.

2.5.4 After the engine has been assembled, it shall be operated on a test stand to insure that it is running properly, the fuel control and lubrication systems are free of leaks, the engine vibration levels are within normal limits and engine performance is within 10 percent of the specified limits at the proper turbine outlet temperatures in accordance with the Rolls Royce certified test cell. Particular emphasis is placed on maintaining oil consumption below 100 mL/hr. and maintaining gearbox breather pressure below 10 inches of water at the normal rated power setting.

2.5.5 NAVAIR agrees and authorizes the bypassing of normal quality control checkpoints that are nonessential for NAVAIR engines and the use of non-flight worthy components during overhaul. These components must be in a satisfactory condition to operate in a test cell. However, we emphasize that all the engines must conform to the requirements of paragraphs 2.5.3 & 2.5.4 of this section.

2.5.6 Engine(s) will be delivered and returned in Government Furnished Material (GFM), approved and serviceable shipping containers. No additional marking, repair, refurbishment or overhaul of any container will be authorized without the approval of the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) and the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).
