EGI Receiver Repair

This document details the requirements for US Coast Guard solicitation 70Z03826QB0000182. It seeks pricing for the repair, testing, and evaluation of an Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (EGI) Receiver (NSN: 1680-01-HS2-0768, Part Number: HG9869N1-001) in accordance with the Statement of Work. The solicitation requires contractors to provide firm-fixed-price quotes for two primary line items: the repair of up to 10 receivers and the test and evaluation (T&E) fee for scrap items. If a component is deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER), the contractor must specify the T&E fee and return shipping costs, though the US Coast Guard will not pay scrap fees. Contractors must submit their SAM.GOV Cage Code, estimated shipping costs, and delivery lead times. Raymond V. Marler (Raymond.V.Marler@uscg.mil) is the designated point of contact for inquiries.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the federal contract requirements for the repair, test, and evaluation of the MH-65 helicopter EGI Receiver (NSN 1680-01-HS2-0768, P/N HG9869N1-001) for the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Under this firm-fixed-price requirement, the contractor must perform evaluations within 15 calendar days and complete repairs within 30 calendar days of receiving the components. Work must be conducted at a contractor or USCG-approved facility possessing the necessary Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technical data, Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs), and test equipment. Due to the helicopter's operational environment, normal salt-water corrosion is expected, though excessive corrosion must be reported. The contractor must maintain certified quality systems (ISO 9001, AS9100, or equivalent) and hold valid FAA, EASA Part 145, OEM, or USCG SRR Engineering repair certifications. Every returned component must be airworthy, accompanied by a Certificate of Conformance, a Certificate of Airworthiness (FAA Form 8130-3 or DD Form 1574), and a complete parts-ownership history. Because these receivers are tracked in the USCG’s Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS), the contractor must manage Significant Component History Reports (SCHRs) and submit a Component Repair Record (CRR) to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) within five business days of completion. Serial-number-tracked components cannot be scrapped without written approval from the Contracting Officer.

This federal solicitation document (70Z03826QB0000182) outlines the terms and conditions for a commercial items acquisition by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC). Due to the sole-source nature of this procurement, the basis for contract award is technical acceptability and a determination of fair and reasonable pricing. Technical acceptability requires the contractor to deliver new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or OEM-approved parts that match the exact part numbers specified in the requirements schedule. Key provisions include compliance with Service Contract Labor Standards, requiring offerors to request necessary wage determinations prior to solicitation close. Additionally, the terms incorporate various federal and Homeland Security acquisition regulations, such as certifications regarding responsibility, federal tax liabilities, and strict security prohibitions on specific foreign telecommunications, unmanned aircraft systems, and restricted business operations in Iran and Sudan. Specialized quality assurance provisions apply to all products interacting with USCG aircraft. Contractors must immediately report any product defects, supply chain modifications, or counterfeit parts, and must maintain complete ownership traceability records. Detailed packaging, marking, and shipping instructions are provided for delivery to the ALC depot in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, requiring a Certificate of Conformance and airworthiness documentation. Finally, the document contains updated clauses addressing sustainable product requirements, subcontracting regulations for commercial items, and prohibitions on racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities in contract performance.

This federal procurement document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services at or below the simplified acquisition threshold. The Coast Guard is restricting competition to a single source to procure repair services for ten Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (EGI) Receivers (NSN: 1680-01-HS2-0768, P/N: HG9869N1-001). The designated sole source for this requirement is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Honeywell International (CAGE: 0BFA5), located in Clearwater, Florida. The justification states that these highly specialized components were designed and manufactured by Honeywell, and the government lacks the technical data required to permit repairs by any other activity. Consequently, utilizing any source other than the OEM or its authorized distributors would compromise aircraft and crew safety. To ensure authenticity, the resulting purchase order will require documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance. The contracting officer will determine price reasonableness using methods such as market research, comparisons with past purchases, current price lists, similar industry items, and the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE).

This document is a federal Service Contract Act (SCA) Wage Determination (No. 2015-4571, Revision 29, dated May 13, 2026) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for the state of Florida, specifically covering Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties.

This document serves as a critical compliance standard for contractors bidding on or executing federal service contracts within the designated Florida region.
