Description
STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
Frequency Converter Generator Procurement & Commissioning
305th Maintenance Squadron (305 MXS)
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL)
________________________________________________
1.0 SCOPE
This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for the procurement, delivery, and
commissioning of a frequency converter generator system. The unit will support electrical
requirements at the main hangar door of the 305th Maintenance Squadron (305 MXS), located at
