FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION Title of Procurement Rolls-Royce CorporateCare™ Program Support Services for aircraft Global 5000, N47. PR# AC-20-03567 Program Office and Point of Contact Flight Program Operations, Program Support Group, AJF-4100. Nature of Procurement Action To provide a continuation of a 5-year, firm fixed price contract the Rolls Royce CorporateCare ™ program to the follow-on contract DTFACT-16-P-00050, to cover total engine maintenance for power plant parts and support for the ACY Flight Operations Team, AJF-1210 aircraft Global 5000, N47. Description of Supplies/Services Rolls-Royce CorporateCare™ Program provides comprehensive power plant and component replacement coverage for exchange and repair to engine systems, to include scheduled and unscheduled component parts replacement, 24 Hour delivery service and world-wide coverage of components for the FAA Flight Program’s Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft. The Global 5000 is a newer type aircraft with two Rolls-Royce BR700 power plants, the Flight Operations Team needs to ensure comprehensive coverage for power plant parts and service, over and above those that may be still covered by the component manufactures basic warranty. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Rolls-Royce has developed the CorporateCare™ program as a cost effective engine management service that will provide a solution to enable the FAA to forecast with certainty the costs associated with the above-mentioned coverage for the next 5 years, and eliminate the risk of undetermined costs for a replacement or lease power plant should the need arise. The program covers engine shop visits on qualified equipment suffering a qualified event failure; line replaceable parts coverage including shipping; availability of lease engines during an engine qualified event failure; labor coverage for engine removal and reinstallation associated with a qualified event, as well as, Engine freight and logistics coverage. Authority Authority for single source procurement is provided by AMS policy section 3.2.2.4. Cite any other authority if applicable, such as an international agreement. Rationale Supporting Use of a Single Source In accordance with the requirements of the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS), this document sets forth the basis for the decision to contract on a single source basis with Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co. KG of Blankenfelde-Mahlow, Germany for the subject requirement. Rolls-Royce is the only known source that can deliver the services described below and is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the BR700 power plants (engines). On October 13, 2004, the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center awarded a contract to acquire a new Global 5000 aircraft from Bombardier Aerospace Corporation on a full and open competitive basis. This aircraft was delivered to the Technical Center in September 2005. Accordingly, in order to ensure the aircraft’s Power plants and components are adequately covered, it has been determined that Rolls-Royce (OEM) is the only known source available to provide the quick response, parts, and support coverage required. Additionally; since no spare engines have been acquired, Rolls Royce Corporate Care provides a lease engine will be made available should the need arise. This is a valuable asset to this contract as the down time for the aircraft would be minimal. Procuring an engine that is specific to this aircraft in the least amount of time is crucial as to not impact the FAA’s mission. Additionally, Rolls-Royce continues to provide, at no additional charge, one training course for one student per year for the period of coverage. No other known service maintenance provider includes this option. Impact. The FAA Flight Program requires these services to continue to provide airworthy aircraft for R&D, Flight Inspection and Transportation missions. The FAA aircraft are required to respond quickly to national priorities and mission-critical operations. The Flight Program aircraft must be ready for flight in order to complete mission requirements, sometimes at a moment’s notice during a national emergency. Only Rolls-Royce provides this comprehensive power plant and component replacement coverage for exchange and repair to the engine systems, to include scheduled and unscheduled component parts replacement, 24 Hour delivery service and world-wide coverage of components for the FAA Flight Program’s Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft. Additionally, as the OEM, Rolls-Royce utilizes only factory certified technicians to work on their equipment and will void warranty items if non-factory certified work is performed. If the subject maintenance and support were not renewed, there could be considerable disruption in aircraft availability resulting in overall interruption and inability to respond to national priorities, mission-critical operations, and national emergencies. Engine parts purchased on the open market, if available, could be charged at a premium E.G.: to replace a fan compressor wheel could cost about $200K exchange and this would not count the associated labor costs of approximately $18-25K. Under the CorporateCare™ program, the Fan Compressor wheel would be covered as a qualifying event, cost about $100K and labor would be included. In addition, as new mechanics are hired, Rolls Royce will provide, at no additional charge, one training course for one student per year for the period of coverage. No other known service maintenance provider includes this option. Ensuring FAA employees are knowledgeable of our airframes is a key component to the FAA’s commitment to safety.
