Background The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Aircraft Operations Center (NOAA AOC) owns/operates a Hawker-Beechcraft King Air 350ER: serial number FM21; FAA registration N68RF. As its primary mission, the aircraft supports the NOAA National Ocean Service Remote Sensing Division located in Silver Spring, MD. The AOC at MacDill AFB, FL manages the aircraft which is primarily operated throughout the United States including occasional trips to Alaska, Hawaii, and other U.S. territories. NOAA N68RF shall require Phase 1 and Phase 2 inspections to be conducted during the initial manufacturer's production warranty. NOAA N68RF is equipped with Collins Pro-line 21 Avionics Package plus camera port & cargo door modifications. The aircraft began NOAA service on May 15, 2009 and is expected to be fully mission capable by August 1, 2009. A.2. PHASE 1 AND 2 INSPECTIONS (CLINs 0001 and 0002) The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, special tools and facilities to comply with the manufacturer's Phase 1 and Phase 2 inspections as per Chapter 5 of the Manufacturer's Maintenance Manual and repair any additional aircraft discrepancies when it arrives at the contractor's facility. Because this aircraft is new, a manufacturer's warranty still exists. The contractor shall coordinate all warranty repairs with Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. Specialized maintenance and repairs may be subcontracted; however, NOAA AOC reserves the right to approve or disapprove the subcontractor. The Government shall be responsible for scheduling all work against this contract. Once the aircraft arrives at the contractor's facility, no work shall begin until the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) has given proper approval. Only the work that is requested by the Contracting Officer (CO) will be accomplished. Any additional work or discrepancies must have prior approval from the CO. As soon as possible, the contractor shall provide a list of discrepancies/inspection report, condition on all major components, outstanding service bulletins and airworthiness directives requiring compliance, and any recommendations (if applicable) for maintenance that would prevent future failures. The contractor will be responsible for all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and AOC required documentation to include but not be limited to approval for return to service. The contractor shall have direct access to the AOC maintenance tracking system and comply with all requirements of that system. For planning purposes all hours-based inspection requirements should be estimated assuming the aircraft flies approximately 500-700 hours per year. b) OVER AND ABOVE (CLIN 0003). The Contractor is responsible for documenting and reporting all discrepancies that are found during inspections that are not a part of a complete routine Hawker Beechcraft phase 1and 2 inspections. Any part or component that has not reached its recommended service life, but fails inspection and needs to be replaced and is not included in a routine phase inspection is considered over and above. The discrepancy report must include (as a minimum): -Description of each discrepancy found; -Number of person-hours per discipline required to complete each discrepancy; -Hourly rate for personnel performing the work; -Parts cost less the percentage discount, if any; -Total dollar amount for each discrepancy; and -Total dollar amount for the complete list of discrepancies. The COR will be responsible for reviewing the list of discrepancies and making a recommendation to the Contracting Officer, to either accept or decline the Contractor's proposal. The Contractor shall not proceed with correcting any discrepancies without prior approval from the COR. Funds for these services will be specified at the time of award and included in contract line item number (CLIN) 0003. The dollar amount stated in the schedule for CLIN 0003 will represent an estimated total, not- to- exceed amount, to cover charges for over and above items. The Government will pay invoices for over and above items out of the funds allocated and authorized on CLIN 0003. This paragraph applies only to CLIN 0003. It is not possible prior to contract award to accurately estimate the extent and duration of work or to anticipate costs for CLIN 0003 with any reasonable degree of confidence. Therefore, time and materials provides for acquiring these services on the basis of direct labor hours and cost of materials. Direct labor hours are at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit. Cost of materials includes parts and appropriate material handling costs. The price to be paid for material shall be based on an established catalog or list price in effect when material or other product is furnished, less all applicable discounts to the Government. In no event shall the price exceed the contractor's sales price to its most favored customer for the same item in like quantity, or the current market price, whichever is lower. c) PARTS AND WARRANTY: The contractor shall provide all replacement parts, materials and consumables. However, the Government reserves the right to provide the same, if advantageous, at any time during the contract.

Parts or components in an "as removed" status will not be installed on the aircraft. Any part or component that has not reached its recommended service life but fails inspection and needs to be replaced will be treated as an "Over and Above" item. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Part Manufacturing Authority (PMA) parts will be acceptable at any time. The contractor will obtain instruction regarding the disposition of non-exchangeable items from the COR. Parts and material furnished during all inspections and repairs will be warranted to be free from defects and workmanship for a period of one year of service or 500 flight hours whichever occurs first, from the date of Government acceptance. d) DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS: The aircraft will be flown to the contractor's facility by a Government flight crew. The COR or the flight crew will notify the Contractor as soon as the need for the Phase Inspections, and/or repair has been identified. Based on current projections, Phase 1will be due September 15, 2009 and Phase 2 by January 15, 2010.
