1.0 Description of Services

1.1 Objective(s): This Performance Work Statement (PWS) details the services required from the contractor/manufacturer for the repair and obsolescence mitigation of three (3) B-52 CONECT items. The contractor shall provide quality repair to ensure a serviceable “A” condition item efficiently serves its intended purpose, by the required disassembly, testing, inspection and repair. The contractor shall provide timely and accurate reporting in Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAVAF), while meeting the repair Turn Around Times (TAT) of routines, SURGE, and MICAP requirements and reduce the frequency of Product Quality deficiency Reports (PQDRs). The scope of services includes evaluation, fault isolation, remove and replace, inspection, testing, repair, and packaging of the below items:

NSN 5821-01-657-6453CX PN: 7000386-19

NSN 5821-01-657-6452CX PN: 7000946-19

1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF): This acquisition directly benefits the United States Air Force (USAF) by providing the serviceable assets necessary to sustain the B-52 CONECT system. This will ensure proper operation of CONECT components and significantly reduce Mission Incapable Awaiting Parts (MICAP) requisitions. Minimizing MICAPs is crucial, as elevated hours and backorders lead to grounded mission-capable aircraft and degrade the vital information warfighters need for successful missions.
1.3 Background: The B-52 Combat Network Communications Technology (CONECT) system provides significantly upgraded communications capabilities and crew interface. CONECT provides new infrastructure to the aircraft to incorporate integrated communications capability, in-flight conventional weapons retargeting, carrier re-tasking, improved operator interface design, and an enhanced situational awareness environment to support both nuclear and conventional delivery functions in a more efficient, versatile, and timely manner. For all mission capabilities, CONECT provides improved communications capabilities, rapid response to changing theatre circumstances, and improved crew awareness of those changes. It allows the B52 to receive information from several sources and provide the integrated information to the crew. It also provides interfaces for machine-to-machine communication, allowing quicker,
