    The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking to purchase two FLOOR PNL 23EF MOD parts (NSN: 1560-01-HS3-7691, P/N: 984709) for HC-144 aircraft through a sole-source acquisition, citing 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1). These parts are critical for Product Depot Maintenance due to corrosion or damage. Aerospace Quality R&D Inc. (CAGE Code: 7QJS7) is the sole Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. The government does not own these rights, and it is uneconomical to purchase them, making the OEM or an OEM-approved distributor the only viable source. Market research using past procurement history and the Inventory Locator Service (ILS®) confirmed no other sources meet the criteria for data possession, capability, and turnaround time. The USCG will continue to explore alternative options for future acquisitions, but currently, competition is not economically feasible due to intellectual property restrictions and operational safety requirements.
    This solicitation outlines the terms and conditions for federal government acquisitions of commercial items, particularly focusing on a Floor Panel 231EF MOD. Key aspects include detailed instructions for offer submission, a 60-day acceptance period, and strict rules for late submissions.

The document also includes comprehensive clauses on security prohibitions, exclusions related to covered telecommunications equipment, FASCSA orders, and restrictions concerning business operations in Sudan and Iran. Contractors must provide a Certificate of Conformance, adhere to specific packaging and shipping instructions to USCG Aviation Logistics Center, Elizabeth City, NC, and follow detailed invoicing procedures, including
    This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for the manufacture of spare modified HC-144 Floorboard panels (P/N 984709) for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) fleet.

The scope requires a composite repair vendor to produce two modified floorboard panels, including the installation of 12 fastener inserts and associated retainer counterbores, in accordance with DWG 984709 REV B. The vendor must submit a design/production proposal, provide engineering design substantiations, and ensure airworthiness certification via FAA 8130-3 or COC.

Deliverables include a detailed proposal with estimated costs broken down by engineering, labor, and materials, detailed drawings, and documentation of completed work.
