1.0 Overview
This Statement of Work (SOW) is issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
Radar Product Division, AJW-L900, for the design, development, fabrication, testing and
delivery of a replacement Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR4) Power Amplifier
Module Test Station (PAMTS) with similar features as outlined in Exhibit 6.1 that has the
ability to test and repair the ARSR4 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) Boards in according to
the specifications listed below in Exhibit 6.2. This new PAMTS will replace the legacy
system due to high demand of the PAMs boards, obsolescence, and repair capability
issues with the current PAMTS. The new PAMTS is required to have similar mechanical
design requirements and equivalent electrical performance or better using current
generation components compared to the legacy system.

Military Standards:
MIL-HDBK-217F-CHG 2 Reliability Prediction of Electronic Equipment
MIL-STD-721C Definition of Terms for Reliability and Maintainability
The current legacy PAMTS consists of a PAM test console, computer/controller, PAM test
fixture, self-test adapter, and various cables. It is a computer operated diagnostic test tool
designed to perform functional testing, failure diagnostic, and repair verification of the
ARSR4 lookdown Drivers Line Replacement Unit (LRU), Preamplifier LRU, and the
Power Amplifier Modules LRUs. The PAMTS also provides instructions to the operator for
the Unit Under Test (UUT) tuning and phasing. This tester includes both manual and
automation test requirements.
The PAM test console is a multipurpose test console that is a two-bay cabinet containing
custom equipment and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) test equipment, which is
controlled by a computer/controller. The computer/controller, monitor, and printer, for
the printing of test results and test data sheets, are located on a mobile computer table.
The PAM test console and applicable cables provide output loads, test points, signal
conditioning and mechanical support for the lookdown driver and preamplifier UUTs.
The PAM test fixture and applicable cables provide mechanical support for the PAM
UUT and connect the PAM UUT to the PAM test console, which then provides output
loads, test points, and signal conditioning for PAM UUT. The PAM test fixture also
provides cooling for the PAM UUT.
This SOW’s primary focus is on a replacement PAMTS and support for the two PAM
boards with future consideration for testing and support of the ARSR4 Lookdown Drivers
LRU and the Preamplifier LRU.

Note:
Exhibit 6.2 refers to frequency of operation from 1215 MHz to 1400 Mhz. Unless
otherwise specified, the unit shall be capable of operation within specified limits over
the frequency range of 1215 MHz to 1372 MHz. Measurement of 1400 MHz shall
not be made. The new limit of the FAA’s operating frequency is 1372 MHz,
therefore 1400 MHz is not a requirement.
1.1 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)
The Contractor Officer’s Representative (COR) is formally designated with this
responsibility by the Contracting Officer to provide direction and Government oversight to
the Contractor on matters related to this contract.
2.0 Scope
The contractor shall furnish all labor, plant facilities, parts, supplies, materials, fixtures,
equipment, tools, test equipment, technical data/expertise, and other facilities necessary to
accomplish the design/redesign of a replacement PAMTS and PAM Boards test process
and fixture in accordance with FAA’s manufacturing and test specifications, FAA
Specifications (listed in Exhibit 6.1 and 6.2) and all other terms, conditions and
provisions contained herein.
This SOW will cover all engineering costs, design costs, and the labor and material
necessary to furnish a test PAMTS unit and test process to specification for the two PAM
boards and fixture hardware. It is anticipated that a Firm Fixed Price Contract will be
utilized for award for this effort.
3.0 QUALITY CONTROL
The contractor shall establish and maintain a Quality Control Program in accordance with
the requirements of ISO-9001:2008. A compliant Quality Management System is
required. An auditable system containing all elements of the ANSI/ASQ/ISO Q9001-2008
standard shall exist. Equipment will be inspected in accordance with conformance to
Technical Specifications and Packaging Specifications as stated in the contract. The
equipment will be accepted/rejected at destination by the FAA. Certificates of
Conformance shall be supplied where applicable. The Contractor may find information at
www.asq.com.
The Government and the contractor agree that equipment used to design the PAMTS and
support of the PAM Boards are standard manufactured items and for that reason it may not
be necessary to require Government inspection and examination of all work in progress at
any time or place during normal working hours. However, in the event an abnormal
failure rate (to be determined by a FAA Systems Engineer) is experienced, both parties
agree that an in-plant quality control review shall be provided. Accordingly, the
Government reserves the right to assign an in-pla…
