Performance Work Statement (PWS)

Mechanical Repair, Finishing and RF Pattern Testing of Lewis Scanner Antennas for

S-Band Lewis Scanner Azimuth Antenna PN: 583Z5001MC-1 and

S-Band Lewis Scanner Elevation Antenna PN: 583Z5001MC-3

1.0 PURPOSE AND APPLICATION

1.1 The purpose of this PWS is to define the mechanical and electrical acceptance standards for overhaul of the S-Band Lewis Scanner Azimuth Antenna PN:

583Z5001MC-1 and S-Band Lewis Scanner Elevation Antenna PN:

583Z5001MC-3 antenna assemblies that are part of the AN/MPS-T1(V) Threat Simulator radar system. Requirements include hardware and electrical functionality as well as mechanical repair, finishing and RF pattern testing.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 This PWS describes the work and services that are required for the inspection, overhaul, testing and repair of the S-Band Lewis Scanner Azimuth (AZ) and Elevation (EL) antennas. Both antennas are identical despite the different part numbers, the only difference being the waveguide mounting hardware. Each antenna assembly is comprised of five sections:

A. Scanner (PN: 583Z5024MC-1): Contains a rotary joint, P/N 2176, that connects to WR284 waveguide.

B. Scanner Cone (PN 583Z5014-1): Comprised of an input parallel plate waveguide section containing an input for the scanner and RF mirror located in the middle of section that directs RF energy as the scanner rotates.

C. Geodesic Lens (PN 583Z5010-1): This is a parallel plate waveguide section containing a sunken curved waveguide path to enhance RF energy direction for beamforming.

D. Asymmetrical Horn (PN 583Z5021-1): This is the output parallel plate waveguide section for directing RF energy onto a reflector.

E. Reflector (PN 583Z5011-1): This is the final output of antenna system. The reflector is approximately 2 FT x 16 FT.

The antennas operate in the 2.9 GHz to 3.1 GHz frequency range and the RF beam is electro-mechanically scanned from (-) 10 degrees to (+) 10 degrees without moving the radar system platform.

4.0 SCOPE OF WORK

4.1 The Vendor shall perform mechanical repair and finishing of the antennas to include iridite coating and epoxy primer. When mechanical repairs and primer coatings are completed the sections shall be assembled as an antenna assembly and electrical performance verified by measuring antenna patterns.

If the antenna assemblies do not initially pass electrical performance the vendor shall make any alignments necessary for them to pass specification. In no case shall tools or equipment; e.g., chisels, paint scrapers, screw drivers, pry bars, electric or pneumatic sanders, impact wrenches, staplers, drills, ratchets, be used to accomplish mechanical work such that the inappropriate use of results in damage to the antenna assembly, hardware, electrical cable and motors, waveguide, any other piece parts, or GFE.

4.2 One (1) scanner (PN: 583Z5024MC-1) is being provided by the Government for the Vendor’s use in satisfying the requirements of this PWS. The scanner section will not require any mechanical repair work or finishing. The scanner section will be shipped to the Vendor fully painted and shall be used for buildup of the antenna assembly before RF pattern testing is conducted. The scanner is necessary to introduce RF energy into the scanner cone.

4.3 Two (2) scanner cones (PN: 583Z5001MC-1 & PN: 583Z5001MC-3) are being provided by the Government for the Vendor’s use in satisfying the requirement of this PWS. One scanner cone will be shipped disassembled. The other scanner cone shall be dissembled at the Vendor’s facility. These scanner cones have numerous scratches as a result of TYAD personnel attempting to reassemble out of shape halves. The two scanner cones shall be repaired starting from a disassembled condition in order to replace the reflective metal tape and RF absorber attached to the supporting sidewalls. The interior metal skins shall be cleaned (not sanded) and have an iridite coat applied as needed.

All surfaces are to be examined for mechanical damage, corrosion, uniform

16.0 CONTRACTOR MANPOWER REPORTING APPLICATION (CMRA)

The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) operates and maintains a secure Army data collection site where the contractor shall report ALL contractor manpower (including subcontractor manpower) required for performance of this contract. The Army's objective is to collect as much significant Contractor Man-Year Equivalents (CME) data as possible to allow accurate reporting to Congress and for effective Army planning. Detailed instructions can be found on the Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (CMRA) website in the CMRA “Contractor User Guide” or “Subcontractor User Guide”. The contractor shall create an account upon entering the site and is required to completely fill in the required information at the CMRA website: https://cmra.army.mil.

The required information includes:

(2) Command of the Requiring Activity that would be performing the mission if not for the contractor: __________ [Enter the Major Command (MACOM) of the Requiring Activity here].

(3) Contracting Officer (KO) and contact information:

(Enter KO’s name, phone number, and email address).

(4) Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and contact information:

(Enter COR’s name, phone number, and email address).

(5) Federal Service Code (FSC) reflecting services provided by contractor (and separate FSC for each subcontractor if different). If there are multiple FSCs for an Order number, enter a separate data record for each FSC.

(6) Location where contractor and subcontractor(s) perform the service, including the city, state, zip code, and country. When service is performed at an overseas location, state only the city and country. If there are multiple Locations for an Order number, enter a separate data record for each Location. (Note: If there are many location records that need to be entered, the

W25G1V-18-R-0008 Attachment I mailto:paul.v.roberts.civ@mail.mil https://cmra.army.mil/

Bulk Loader function is available which allows the transfer of information from a contractor’s system to the secure web site. The Bulk Loader Template and Bulk Loader Instructions may be downloaded from the web site.)

(7) Contractor Type (prime or subcontractor).

(8) Direct labor hours (including subcontractors) for each FSC.

(9) Direct labor dollars paid this reporting period (including subcontractors) for each FSC.

17.0 DEPOT ACCESS FOR THE CONTRACTOR:

A background check and approval from Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) Law Enforcement is required for all contractor and subcontractor personnel prior to on-site access at TYAD. All persons seeking entrance to TYAD shall submit to and comply with all security standards and requirements in force at the time such persons are seeking entry. All contractors, regardless of resident status or citizenship, will be subject to vehicle search and intense in-processing by TYAD security personnel prior to being granted access to TYAD. This security screening process may be time consuming and access may be delayed or denied. The contractor shall ensure ELTY Form 648-C is completed for all contractor and subcontractor personnel requiring depot access to include warranty services. The TYAD point of contact (POC) will provide ELTY Form 648-C, “Request Access to Tobyhanna Army Depot” to the contractor/vendor at least ten days prior to the expected visit date for completion. The contractor/vendor shall return the completed ELTY Form 648-C to the TYAD POC in a timely manner so the same may be submitted to Security for processing no later than seven days prior to the visit. All of the required fields on the form shall be complete and accurate by the contractor/vendor for timely processing. This requirement is inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel that the Contractor anticipates will be performing work or visiting on-site. This security screening does not relieve the contractor of any responsibilities to conduct thorough pre-employment background checks and drug screening. Contractor workers will not be granted access to the work site until security screening is completed and access is approved. Any contractor personnel on-site who fail screening will not be permitted further access to TYAD. See “Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures.”

Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures. Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by government representative).
