LINE ITEM 0001: GIV Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan: October 15, 2010 - October 14, 2011. Quantity: 1 Unit: EA Unit Price: $_______ Amount: $_______ Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan Service (HAPP) for NOAA GIV SP SN 1246 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 manufacture, the aircraft was outfitted with standard Honeywell avionics equipment as well as some scientific mission equipment such as the advanced weather radar. Due to the high failure rate of Avionics equipment, 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 all the Honeywell instrumentation, which includes required components of the cockpit display system, flight control system, flight management system, inertial navigation systems, Satellite Communications system, GPS, radar altimeter, and weather radar. All above mentioned systems are required for the airworthiness of the aircraft. This program offers a viable alternative for managing future unscheduled maintenance expenses. As a HAPPs operator, AOC expects to receive replacement units in exchange for any inoperable or malfunctioning Honeywell components in the NOAA GIV. Shipping will also be financially covered under this protection plan. The NOAA GIV SN1246 has been under the Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan since 2004. 2. Scope of Work The vendor shall be responsible for repairing or replacing Honeywell Avionics Products installed in the GIV SP SN1246 that do not conform to the operational specifications of the particular Honeywell component. This applicable information is contained in the Honeywell component Manual. The vendor shall be responsible for providing next day air freight within the Continental United States including Alaska and Hawaii when available, to the repair facility or the location of the aircraft if different. The vendor shall pay the costs for unit removal and re-installation (R&R) in the GIV SP SN1246 and for the cost of system troubleshooting, providing such are accomplished by an authorized Honeywell Dealer/Service Agency. The vendor shall provide a no cost rental 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 proposal which includes full protection responsibility for all of the Honeywell components and equipment currently installed on the aircraft. If any new equipment is added to the aircraft during the period of performance of this contract, the scope of the contract may be altered to include that equipment if it is not covered under the manufacturer's initial warranty. The vendor shall include any exclusions and a description of what is not covered in the proposal. If Honeywell components are experiencing intermittent or hard failures, it is requested that a replacement component be shipped by the vendor to the facility where the aircraft is located regardless of whether the location is a certified Honeywell repair station or service provider. 3. Period of Performance This protection plan is requested to begin coverage at 12:01 AM on October 15, 2010 and extend for one year through 12:00 PM on October 14, 2011. 4. Submittal of Invoices: (EAD-KC OFFICE ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4(g)) The Contractor shall prepare and submit invoices to the Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) using the address shown in Block 15 of the Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items-Standard Form 1449. All invoices shall be based on work completed as of the end of the Contractor's most recent billing period and shall be submitted to AOC by the 10th day of the subsequent month.
