This Statement of Work (SOW), under solicitation number 70Z03826QB0000205, outlines the United States Coast Guard’s (USCG) requirement for the repair of eight fixed hoist arms (NSN: 1680-14-39-8967, P/N: 366A84-0250-02) utilized on MH-65 helicopters. Work must be performed by an Airbus Helicopter France or USCG-authorized facility certified under ISO 9001, AS9100, or equivalent quality management standards. Upon receipt, the contractor must conduct a visual and functional test and evaluation within 15 calendar days. Items meeting minimum performance specifications or deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER) will be returned as-is at a firm-fixed evaluation price. Authorized BER determinations are made solely by the USCG. Non-Ready for Installation (RFI) components must be repaired to OEM specifications, including corrosion removal and replacement of defective parts with traceable OEM components, and returned within 90 calendar days. Contractors must have direct access to all current Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs) and technical data, as the USCG will not provide these documents. Due to the maritime operating environment of the MH-65, normal corrosion is expected, but excessive corrosion or damage from misuse must be reported to the Contracting Officer for price exclusions before work begins. Every repaired component must be returned with a completed FAA Form 8130-3 or DD Form 1574, a Certificate of Conformance, traceability documentation, and a detailed failure data report.

This document outlines the Terms and Conditions for solicitation 70Z03826QB0000205, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) for the procurement of new commercial aircraft assemblies. Due to the sole-source nature of the acquisition, the award will be based on a determination of fair and reasonable pricing, with technical acceptability evaluated on an "acceptable/unacceptable" basis. Offerors must provide exact part numbers from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an OEM-approved source. The Service Contract Labor Standards apply, and offerors may request additional wage determinations up to two days before closing. Key compliance terms include strict corporate representations regarding felony convictions, delinquent tax liabilities, and federal security prohibitions. The latter restricts the use of covered telecommunications equipment, Kaspersky Lab products, TikTok on government-managed devices, and FASC-prohibited unmanned aircraft systems. Additionally, the terms include a new deviation prohibiting racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) activities. Quality assurance provisions require contractors to immediately notify the USCG of any supply changes, defects, or counterfeit parts. All parts must feature complete, unbroken traceability back to the approved manufacturing source, accompanied by a Certificate of Conformance (COC) and, if applicable, FAA Form 8130-3 or Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) documentation. Deliveries must be made F.O.B. Destination to the USCG ALC in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Invoices may be submitted electronically to ALC Fiscal five days after shipment and will be paid after receipt and inspection.

This U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition documents the sole-source procurement of eight fixed hoist arms (Part Number 366A84-0250-02) utilized on MH-65 helicopters. The procurement is conducted under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). Although Airbus Helicopters France is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these highly specialized parts, they do not perform repairs, and the proprietary technical data required for other sources to perform the work is unavailable. Advantage Aviation Technologies, LLC (Grandview, Texas) is identified as the only known vendor capable of repairing these assets to Ready-For-Issue (RFI) condition. The resulting purchase order will mandate clear traceability to the OEM and a Certificate of Conformance. To ensure a fair and reasonable price, the Contracting Officer will utilize methods such as market research, comparisons with past purchases, current price lists, and the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE).
