PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT: 1.0 **OVERVIEW: ** This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the tasks required to develop and certify a modernized replacement for the current AC system for the HU-25 fleet of aircraft. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has in service three types of HU-25 aircraft, they are the HU-25 A, C and D. The primary Alternating Current power source for these aircraft is the 20 KVA AC generator. The hydraulically driven 20 KVA generator provides 115 VAC; three phase 400 cycles to the main AC bus. The current electrical system (for mission avionics) experiences numerous failures, low Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), requires extensive maintenance, and includes components that are obsolete and unserviceable. The Constant Speed Drive (CSD) system components have become some of the most significant mission readiness degraders on the airframe. Failures of the Constant Speed Motor (CSM) and AC generator are expensive and result in the HU-25 being out of commission while the units are located and replaced. A modern AC power Generation system will enhance HU-25 mission readiness and reduce life cycle costs. The CSD system consists of three primary components: The two engine driven hydraulic pumps, the constant speed drive Motor (CSM) and the main AC generator. The CSM, AC generator, hydraulic plumbing, and wiring are located in the aft compartment of the aircraft. The total weight of the system located in the aft compartment is approximately 150 lbs, this estimate takes in consideration all equipment, wiring, hydraulic tubing and fluids. The current center of gravity of the aircraft is critical and reduction in weight of the system is desirable. 2.0 **SCOPE: ** The USCG is seeking a System to replace the current CSD system which generates alternating current (AC) electrical power on its fleet of HU-25 aircraft. A ?Commercial-Off-The Shelf? (COTS) System is desired. The prospective contractor shall be a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized service center having the engineering, analysis, development certifications, and integration expertise to provide the services required. The design shall specify all industry recognized standards for equipment and hardware which will be incorporated into each aircraft to generate clean, safe MIL-STD-704F AC electrical power. The USCG estimates that 12KVA, 400 cycles, three-phases is the minimum power requirement. The prospective contractor shall perform a baseline load analysis to confirm the USCG?s 12 KVA, 400 cycle, three-phase loads requirement. The quote shall include a complete description of the proposed system, associated drawings, schematics, and manuals required for installation and maintenance. Quotes must specify MTBF of the equipment. Copies of relevant documentation shall accompany the System package. Award will be based on a solid technical quote, past performance, and Firm Fixed Price. 3.0 **PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS:** 3.1 Contractor shall : 3.1.1 Be a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Authorized Service Center. 3.1.2 Have the engineering resources, analysis, development, integration capabilities and certification to install and support a modernized AC power generation system. 3.1.3 Have significant expertise in all technical and operational disciplines required to fulfill the objectives of this program. 3.1.4 Provide a detailed written work scope which demonstrates understanding of the program and technical requirements. 3.1.5 Conduct baseline testing to establish references, power requirements and measurement criteria for the upgraded unit. 3.1.6 Identify the ?best value? replacement for the current HU-25 main AC system that will provide clean safe MIL-STD-704F, dated 12 Mar 04, 115 VAC, 400 Hz, three phase power. 3.1.7 Identify system location, required electrical and/or hydraulic modifications and system weight. The system shall not move the aircraft?s center of gravity further aft. 3.1.8 The system shall minimize modification of the existing AC power distribution system. 3.1.9 The system shall minimize structural or equipment modification of the HU-25. 3.1.10 Design and installation shall comply with federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) parts 23 & 25. 3.1.11 Provide and install hardware that meets Military Specifications IAW NAVAIR 01-1A-505, dated 01 Sept 04. This includes, but is not limited, to equipment, wiring, and connectors. 3.1.12 Install and qualify the CSD prototype system upgrade in the HU-25 aircraft. 3.1.13 Develop ground and test flight procedures to demonstrate the system?s capabilities on the HU-25. 3.1.14 Certify the airworthiness of the installation. Certification by the FAA is not required. 3.1.15 Prepare written technical data, in ATA format, which provides detailed instructions for removal of the existing AC power generation system and installation of the modernized AC power generation system. Specification shall include detailed drawings/schematics, test procedures, maintenance manuals, parts breakdown and vendor codes for all installed equipment and hardware. This technical data is intended to be incorporated in USCG aircraft publications, reproduced and posted on the USCG internal WEB. 3.1.16 Provide recommendations for scheduled maintenance tasks and intervals for the new system. 3.1.17 Supply all labor, equipment, and facilities for the initial installation, and dispose of all waste materials generated. 3.1.18 Adhere and conduct business in compliance with all Federal, State and Local Laws governing this type of work. 3.1.19 Weigh the aircraft IAW AFTO 1-1B-50, CGTO 1U-25-5 HU-25 Weight and Balance Manual and Maintenance Procedure Card (MPC) 083010.D, CMS Code 083011 after modification.
