Overhaul of Air Separators & Shutoff Valve for U.S. Coast Guard Aircraft HC-27J

This document outlines the terms, conditions, and provisions for Solicitation 70Z03826QW0000080, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center. The primary purpose of this commercial item solicitation is to secure repair and overhaul services for specific aircraft parts: two Air Separators (P/N B0161B001) and one Shutoff Valve (P/N B0161C001-01). While the government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole-source basis to MHD Rockland Inc., it will consider capability statements and quotations from all responsible sources. To be deemed technically acceptable, non-OEM or non-PAH offerors must possess FAA 145 certification, perform at least 50% of the work at their FAA-certified facility, and provide proof of current FAA, OEM, or Air Force approval. Overhauls must comply with the latest OEM Component Maintenance Manuals. Deliverables must be sent to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, within 120 days after receipt of order. The terms outline strict quality assurance, counterfeit parts prevention, record retention, and specific packaging standards that exclude materials like Styrofoam and shredded paper. Additionally, the document incorporates standard federal provisions, including Buy American Act certifications, trade agreement clauses, contractor employee whistleblower protections, strict security prohibitions regarding covered telecommunications and FASC-prohibited unmanned aircraft systems, and restrictions on discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the United States Coast Guard's (USCG) requirements for the inspection, repair, and overhaul of two critical aviation components: the Air Separator (Part Number B0161B001) and the Shutoff Valve (Part Number B0161C001). To perform this work, the contractor must be the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), an OEM-authorized repair center, or an FAA-certified 145 Repair Center acceptable to the Coast Guard, and must maintain ISO 9000 compliance or an approved quality system. The contractor is responsible for obtaining all proprietary OEM drawings, Service Bulletins, and Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs) required for the work. Key service obligations include performing teardowns, addressing corrosion, submitting a Teardown and Inspection Report (TIR) within five days of inspection, and identifying any Beyond Economical Repair (BER) components. Additionally, components must be thoroughly cleaned of hazardous materials like hexavalent chromium, lead, and cadmium before delivery. The required turn-around-time is 120 days after receipt of material. All completed components must be certified airworthy with an FAA Form 8130-3, EASA Form-1, or an authorized Certificate of Conformance. Finally, the SOW mandates strict packaging, preservation, and labeling standards in accordance with ATA-300 or electrostatic discharge protocols to ensure the components remain protected during transit and for at least one year of warehouse storage. Final inspection and acceptance will be conducted by the Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) Quality Assurance personnel.

This federal document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR Part 12, covering purchase request 6138-ND02. The Coast Guard intends to acquire repair and evaluation services on a sole-source basis for two Air Separators (P/N: B0161B001) and one Shutoff Valve (P/N: B0161C001-01). These components are damaged or corroded during Product Depot Maintenance. The sole-source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the components. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Air Liquide Advanced Technologies, owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for the repairs. Because the government does not own these data rights and cannot economically purchase them, the services must be performed by an OEM-approved source. MHD Rockland Inc., located in Crofton, Maryland, is the authorized OEM repair facility selected to perform the work. The Contracting Officer will determine price reasonableness using methods such as market research, historical price comparisons, current price lists, and independent government cost estimates.
