This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to provide Performance-Based Logistic (PBL) support services required to support five (5) U.S. Navy (USN) UH-72A helicopters owned by the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS), Patuxent River, Maryland. This effort shall include all maintenance support services and equipment to include

Sustaining Engineering. The UH-72A is a commercial derivative of the Euro-Copter EC-145, a Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) certified medium helicopter. The Contractor shall provide FAA certified “Ready to Fly” aircraft for USNTPS with the use of a PBL Support contract. This is a "dry" contract in which the Contractor will not be expected to purchase fuel. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is Airbus Helicopter, Inc. located in Grand Prairie, Texas. The OEM owns the technical data necessary to support the maintenance of this aircraft.

1.1 The Contractor shall provide comprehensive material and maintenance support services to provide “Ready to

Fly” FAA certified aircraft to meet the USNTPS training requirements. The Contractor shall provide FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanics to perform all touch labor, support and ground handling equipment (e.g. ground handling wheels, maintenance stands, tow- bars), spares and any other logistics items required to provide turnkey logistics support to the UH-72A fleet in accordance with FAA requirements.

1.2 The Contractor shall provide the engineering support for the UH-72A program. The Contractor shall have access to the technical data required to maintain the airworthiness of the five (5) USNTPS UH-72A Aircraft. These engineering services are required to support existing and planned Navy-specific modifications to the aircraft and for continuing support of Navy-specific engineering data requests and consultation. The Contractor shall ensure that all services are performed by qualified personnel. The services provided include engineering analyses, technical liaison, Designated Engineering Representative support, technical publications and logistical support.
