The Statement of Work (SOW) PR#_5335-NB03 outlines requirements for the inspection, repair, and overhaul of components for the US Coast Guard (USCG). Services must be obtained from an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), OEM Authorized Repair Center, or FAA Certified 145 Repair Center, complying with OEM specifications and USCG quality standards (ISO 9000 compliant or acceptable quality system). Contractors are responsible for obtaining proprietary OEM documentation. USCG modifications to components must be retained unless specified, with the USCG providing supporting details. The SOW defines repair levels: inspect/repair as necessary and overhaul, which zeros out the component's Time Since Overhaul (TSO). Corrosion necessitates thorough disassembly and replacement or treatment. Components deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER) require USCG approval. Contractors must notify the Contracting Officer (KO) of missing parts within 15 days and provide a Teardown and Inspection Report (TIR) within five days, detailing repair costs. Components must be cleaned of hazardous dust before return. The required turnaround time is 90 days. All parts must be airworthy, accompanied by an FAA 8130-3 Certificate or EASA Form-1, or an authorized Certificate of Conformance. Components are tracked via the USCG's Aviation Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS), with contractors maintaining a legible tracking form. Packaging must comply with CMMs, ANSI/ESD S541 or MIL-STD-2073 for ESDS components, and ATA-300 for others, ensuring protection and proper labeling. Final inspection and acceptance are performed by ALC Quality Assurance personnel.

The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to procure specific C27J aircraft parts for its Ready-For-Issue Inventory. The procurement, identified by requisition number 5335-NB03, involves the repair of various valves, filters, and free fall assist parts. The justification for this sole-source acquisition is based on the fact that AVIATION DEVICES AND ELECTRONIC, 3215 W LOOP 820 S FT WORTH, TX 76116 (1NPE1) is the only known source capable of fulfilling the requirement. This is because the procedures and data for these parts are protected under the proprietary rights of the aircraft OEM, LEONARDO SPA (CAGE CODE A1512), which owns the rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. Market research confirmed the OEM's exclusive control over the required parts. The contracting officer will determine a fair and reasonable price through market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison to similar items.
