The contractor shall furnish all labor, facilities, materials, equipment, tools and data (other than Government Furnished Property), necessary to accomplish the engineering services.

The proposed contractual action will be a Sole Source, New Engineering Services, Firm Fixed Price type contract to provide analyses for commercial aircraft based on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and original Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Type Certification (TC) data that will address specific technical needs for the Fixed Wing Project Office (FWPO) managed Beechcraft and Cessna commercial aircraft fleets. Engineering and data support services are required to enable the Government to improve airworthiness design, testing, qualification, production, fielding, readiness, system safety and sustainment for the Beechcraft and Cessna commercial aircraft.

The OEM/TC data required to respond to questions or conduct studies on the commercial aircraft may include static/dynamic loads, manufacturing and detail drawings, analyses, and access to intellectual property which the US Army does not own or have access. Textron Aviation is the OEM and original TC holder. The data required to perform the analyses is proprietary to the OEM and not commercially available for purchase or reference.
