OST/AOD BOEING STATEMENT OF WORK 737-800 COMBI

I. INTRODUCTION

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is a separately organized agency within the Department of Energy (DOE) and NNSA is responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear energy. The Office of Secure Transportation (OST), within the NNSA, is responsible for the safe and secure transport of nuclear weapons and special nuclear materials (SNM). The OST’s primary airlift missions include: (1) providing 24/7 alert aircraft for Emergency Response missions; (2) providing safe and secure transportation of Department of Energy personnel and SNM cargo (3) transporting Federal Personnel in response to emergency and/or national incidents when directed; and (4) transporting Federal Personnel and their equipment to conduct various training exercises throughout the continental United States.

To fulfill its airlift missions, the OST’s Aviation Operations Division (AOD) owns and operates transport aircraft which comprise of Boeing 737-400 “Combi” aircraft, and 737-700 FlexCombi (FC) aircraft. The Boeing 737-400 Combi aircraft were acquired in 2011 as a result of a detailed business case study conducted by Conklin & DeDecker in 2008.1 The 737-700 FC aircraft was acquired in 2021 to augment the existing fleet as recommended in the Conklin &DeDecker case study. The purchase of the 737-800 Combi will replace one of the aging 737- 400 Combi aircraft.

II. BACKGROUND

This Statement or Work (SOW) is to procure a used Boeing 737-800 Series which will be converted to a Combi configuration to allow OST to carry out its national security mission. NNSA issued a previously posted RFI (2020) specified that NNSA was seeking brokerage support services in terms of searching, assessing, and recommending between the top three to five used Boeing 737-800 Series aircraft based on the general condition of the aircraft, maintenance projections, records, and compliance with FAA requirements.

The Boeing 737- 800 Series aircraft shall be operated under the requirements of 41 C.F.R. Part 102-33 Public Operations in the National Airspace and an occasional flight under OST/AOD’s 14 C.F.R. Part 125 Letter of Deviation Authority issued by the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Part 125 Certificate Holding District Office (CHDO), SO61, for OST’s current fleet of 737-400, and 737-700 aircraft.2 The Boeing 737-800 Series aircraft shall be flown by OST/AOD Federal Pilots with the maintenance of the aircraft performed by an aircraft maintenance support service contractor under 14 C.F.R. Parts 43, 91, 145, and AOD’s Policy & Procedures Manual (PPM) and Maintenance Inspection Program (MIP) which will be amended to include the new aircraft.

III. SCOPE

The intent of this contract is for the acquisition of a Boeing 737- 800 Series aircraft that will be converted into a Combi aircraft. The activities required to procure the aircraft are categorized into three (3) distinct phases:

Phase I – Pre-Purchase Activities that involve a physical inspection of the records, avionics, and a physical inspection of the aircraft and Acquisition of Boeing 737- 800 aircraft;3

Phase II – Post-Purchase activities that involve:

a) Converting the Boeing 737-800 into passenger/freight Combi in accordance with the

1 At the time, Conklin & DeDecker’s business case study recommended that OST procure up to three aircraft. However, subject to the availability of funds, OST only received Congressional appropriations for two large transport aircraft.

2 OST/AOD will seek approval from CHDO to add the Boeing 737-800 aircraft to its existing Part 125 LODA.

3 See Appendix A of this SOW for a complete listing of the Phase I activities.

APPENDIX C

Phase III – Post-purchase Activities

Airworthiness Demonstration Flight and Government Acceptance

The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring and preparing the Boeing 737-800 aircraft for the Airworthiness Demonstration Flight (ADF) by addressing any serviceability, maintenance, or systems issue(s) identified under Phase I and Phase II as discussed in Appendix A and B of this SOW.

The Contractor shall have qualified/certified pilots to operate and fly the aircraft during the ADF. The flight will be conducted under the appropriate regulations depending on the country the flight is conducted. The Contractor is required and responsible for obtaining all required permits to accomplish the flight check. The evaluation shall consist of a flight evaluation and written report. Government acceptance will be a three-part process and will take place in a CONUS or Canada location as follows:

1. The Government shall conduct an evaluation of the aircraft maintenance using the NNSA Boeing 737NG

Acceptance Task Card (see Attachment 2). The Contractor shall make available the aircraft for three (3) days after all modifications and maintenance actions are accomplished. During this period the Government will also do an extensive review of aircraft records.

2. The Contractor is required and responsible for obtaining all required/necessary permits to conduct the ADF.

The evaluation shall consist of an ADF evaluation and written report that includes a minimum of the following items:

Built In Test Equipment (BITE) Tests done from cockpit FMC CDUs (OST/AOD to provide additional information on the types of BITE Tests)

Engine Start After Start Steering and brake checks Thrust reversers Take off Engine slam Acceleration Performance climbs Engine shut down assist and engine relight Engine temperatures (EGT, ITT, oil, fuel, etc.) during start, take off, climb, cruise, and descent Depressurization check (May not be required) Handling and climb Spoiler float Functioning at FL350 o Safety Valve Operation o Leak Check o Yaw Dampener o Manual Reversion

APU relight High Mach number handling Engine shutdown & windmill relight High indicated airspeed handling Low speed handling o PTU Check o Flap load relief

P a g e 18 | 18 o Alternate flap extension o Landing gear manual extension o Approach o Touch and go o Landing o Rejected take off

Taxi shutdown o Fuel Suction Feed o Generator Disconnect o Engine Fire Warning Switch Shutdown o Emergency Exit Lighting

Post flight

3. The Government shall have observers (pilots and aircraft maintainers) who shall be allowed to document aircraft discrepancies in aircraft logbooks or a suitable alternate during all ground and flight tests. The Contractor is responsible for correcting all known and identified discrepancies/issues and ensure air worthiness prior to Government acceptance. If a ground test cannot demonstrate the resolution of an aircraft discrepancy the Contractor will fly an additional ADF to demonstrate that any identified discrepancies/issues associated with the aircraft have been corrected.

4. Following the acceptance flight and the Government’s acceptance of the aircraft, the contractor shall also provide the following deliverable items as mentioned in the SOW:

a. Aircraft flight manuals

b. STC Supplement manuals

c. Copies of software currently installed on the aircraft at time of acceptance

d. Items removed from the aircraft that were identified to be kept as Government property

e. All aircraft records including life limited part 8130’s, logbooks for engines and APU, and landing gear
