SOW-ASR-11 Contract SOW.docx

FAA Logistics Center AJW-L500 Product Services Group ASR-11 Ladder Kits Purchase

1. Background

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) AJW-L500 Product Services Group has been tasked with upgrading the fall protection on the Airport Surveillance Radars (ASR). The current ladder and ladder safety system (LSS) on the back of the ASR sails are no longer compliant with Environmental Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Services (AJW-231). AJW-L500 is going to replace existing non-compliant ASR-11 and ASR-8/9 ladders and LSS’ with new EOSH approved fall protection systems. This system replacement will greatly reduce the risk from a fall from heights while FAA employees are performing maintenance on these systems and ensure employees have compliant fall protection systems available to perform work.

2. Purpose

The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to document the requirements for the manufacturing of the fall protection system needed for the ASR-11s. This SOW also covers the purchasing of the Mine Safety Appliance (MSA) items needed for the LSS. The fall protection systems will be installed by trained FAA Engineering and Electronic Technicians. This contract is for production of 25 ladder kits.
