STATEMENT OF WORK:
1. Introduction and Background
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) owns and operates a Gulfstream IV (GIV) SP SN 1246, registration N49RF. The aircraft is based at NOAA's Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida and is primarily operated as a high altitude research platform collecting critical data for Hurricane synoptic surveys and Winter Storm Surveillance Missions. This is the only aircraft that is capable of collecting this type of critical data essential for assisting hurricane modelers and track forecasts. During an aircraft upgrade program in 2009, the aircraft was outfitted with a new Honeywell Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) 36-150G, which is used for a variety of aircraft functions including: application of initial ground electric power, pneumatic power for starting the aircraft engines, and emergency power backup while in flight. Due to the financial impact of a high cost incident involving the APU, it is cost effective and mission critical to have a protection plan. In addition, this service protection plan through financial compensation will enhance the serviceability and operation of the APU 36-150G. The APU is required for the airworthiness of the aircraft. This program offers a viable alternative for managing future unscheduled maintenance expenses. The APU was previously covered under a 4-year manufacturer's warranty plan that expired in 2013. APU running time as of 01/28/2015: TSN 2280 hrs; TSO 613 hrs; Cycles 454.
Historical data of APU use by the NOAA GIV aircraft indicates the AOC runs the APU about 100 hours annually. This trend is predicted to continue at or below the average annual rate of 100 hours per year.
2. Scope of Work
The vendor shall be responsible for repairing or replacing the Honeywell P-763C, 36-150G APU installed in the GIV SP SN1246.
The vendor shall guarantee financial coverage for APU service bulletin updates, exchange components and/or modules.
The vendor shall pay the costs for parts and labor during both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities involving the APU.
The vendor shall provide a no-cost rental APU, if applicable, until the aircraft's Honeywell unit is repaired and returned. If there are further complications with the repaired unit, the vendor shall provide a new or overhauled part different from the off unit.
The vendor shall provide a plan which includes full protection responsibility for all of the APU components and APU equipment currently installed on the aircraft.
3. Period of Performance
This protection plan is required to begin coverage on March 15, 2015 and extend for one year through March 14, 2016 with four additional option years subsequent to the base period.
4. Submission of Invoices:
The Contractor shall submit invoices to the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center, Attention: COR Adam Abitbol, PO Box 6829, MacDill AFB, FL 33608-0829.
