Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) Training

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) operates a fleet of approximately two-hundred (200) aircraft. Scheduled and emergent maintenance is performed on these aircraft by active-duty personnel at 27 different USCG Air Stations throughout the country. To ensure aircraft airworthiness and comply with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and USCG maintenance inspection procedures, Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) methods are used, including Eddy Current, Florescent Penetrant, Magnetic Particle, and Ultrasonic. The USCG maintains approximate one hundred-twenty (120) fleet NDI inspectors, who receive certification as USCG Aviation Fleet NDI Level II Technician. These technicians possess the skills and knowledge to setup and calibrate NDI equipment, conduct tests, interpret, evaluate, and document results in accordance with USCG maintenance procedures. The USCG has a requirement for a commercial facility to deliver a formal training program in accordance with NAS-410, USAF TO 33B-1-1 and USAF TO 33B-1-2 and the provisions of this Statement of Work (SOW). The USCG will maintain certification responsibilities. USCG-Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Engineering Services Division (ESD) has a requirement to obtain initial aircraft NDI training for up to thirty (30) to forty-five (45) students per period of performance.
