1.0 BACKGROUND

The U.S. Coast Guard currently operates twenty-one (21) HU-25 aircraft manufactured between 1982 and 1984 by Dassault-Breguet Aviation SA-Avions Marcel. These aircraft are operated differently from those in general aviation; Coast Guard missions require frequent operation within salt-laden environments, and conditions, which accelerate the corrosive attack on the airframe structures and components of the HU-25 aircraft. Inspection of these aircraft in accordance with (IAW) the Original Equipment Manufacturer??s (OEM) periodic requirements under the U.S. Coast Guard's specialized Aircraft Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS), historically reveals corrosion damage and operational wear and tear associated with aging aircraft, which is often outside the scope of OEM published repair limits and specifications. During these inspections Horizontal Stabilizers S/N 411 and 404 were found unserviceable. These stabilizers were evaluated and recommended for repair by Dassault Falcon (DFJ) Structural Engineers on 11 April 2007.

This statement of work describes the inspection, damage evaluation, repair plan proposal and services necessary to return horizontal stabilizers S/Ns 411 & 404, their structures, and components as used on the U.S. Coast Guard HU-25 aircraft in an airworthy condition per DFJ Report Number DFJ-823-6147 and Power Point Inspection of Horizontal Stabilizers. The horizontal stabilizers shall be painted to match the Coast Guard??s current colors and paint scheme in accordance with (IAW) ARSC Paint Drawing 925-139, and be delivered in a ready for installation condition. All work shall be performed IAW Dassault Falcon Jet drawings specifications.

This Statement of Work addresses DFJ??s findings and recommendations for returning each stabilizer to an airworthy condition. However, it is recognized that during the repair process circumstances outside of the proposed scope of work may arise which could not be anticipated. For such instances, direct communication with the Coast Guard??s Aircraft Repair and supply Center (ARSC), HU-25 Engineering Cell will be required. These communications shall be for the purpose of clarification only and shall not be construed by the contractor as authorization for an increase in the scope of work being performed. In the event the discussions result in need for a change, the contractor shall not perform additional work until so authorized by written modification which has been signed by an authorized Coast Guard contracting officer. Work performed without written modification may result in unpaid performance on the part of the contractor. The ARSC HU25 Engineering Officer may be reached at (252-335-6887), or you may contact the ARSC HU25 Maintenance Officer at (252-335-6310) for any relevant questions or comments.

2.0 SCOPE

The contractor shall review and evaluate DFJ maintenance procedures and structural repair requirements for the repair of horizontal stabilizers S/N 411 and 404. The repair cost for each stabilizer is estimated to be (per negotiated price) each. If the repair exceeds this cost the Contractor shall notify the Coast Guard??s HU-25 Contracting Officer in writing and provide a cost breakdown structure for parts and labor.

3.0 OBJECTIVES

3.1 Enable the Coast Guard to optimize the utilization of the horizontal stabilizer spare assets, through inspection, evaluation, and repair of those assets to serviceable and airworthy condition.
