Critical Incident Response Group

Statement of Work January 31, 2022

Version 1.0 Page 2

1 Scope This is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide single engine turbine, pressurized aircrafts to the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG).

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction

This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes the technical requirements for the single engine turbine, pressurized aircrafts to be owned and operated by the FBI as a multi-role aircraft. These aircrafts will be utilized as a surveillance platform and as a utility aircraft to transport personnel and cargo.

1.2 Background

The FBI is currently in the process of updating/upgrading its aerial surveillance aircraft to provide visual and thermal spectrum imagery. To accomplish this goal, and to best serve the FBI’s aviation program for the next 20 years, the FBI recommends the replacement of the Cessna 208B Caravan with a more capable aircraft suited for the 21st century mission. This will provide significantly increased safety, operational capability, agility and efficiency across operations, maintenance, and training. The current airframe will not support modern avionics, necessary for life safety and mission operations. Moreover, critical components are no longer commercially available and must be custom manufactured. The FBI needs to obtain an Intelligence, Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) capable, pressurized, high-altitude, high-speed aircraft capable of slow flight able to meet the demands of a regional ISR platform.

2 Applicable Documents None

3 Requirements The FBI requires a fleet of single engine turbine aircraft to replace the aging fleet of C208 Caravans. The replacement aircraft will be an aircraft that will not only replace the current fleet, but also provide next generation mission support. The aircraft will include the following baseline requirements:

1. Turbine- PT6 series engine

2. Pressurized cabin

3. L3 MX-15HD EO/IR Sensor
