The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) requires firm-fixed-price repair services for HC-130J aircraft components. The contractor must be an OEM Certified Repair Facility or Distributor, providing all parts, labor, and materials to restore components to a Ready For Issue (RFI) and airworthy condition, adhering to technical directives and OEM specifications. This includes addressing corrosion and incorporating service bulletins or modifications as separate costs. Subcontractors must meet the same certification requirements. The contractor must maintain a Quality Assurance System, provide documentation of receipt and repair, and manage reporting requirements for the Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS). Special conditions apply to unusual damage, obsolete parts, and components deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER), with the USCG making final BER determinations. All repaired components must be airworthy, with proper certification and a Certificate of Conformance. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in refusal to accept services or contract termination, ensuring operational effectiveness for congressionally mandated missions.

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking approval for a sole source award to BAE Systems for the repair of Receiver/Transmitters, P/N: 902449-801, which are installed on HC-130J aircraft. This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) is based on the fact that BAE Systems is the only authorized repair center for this material, owning the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. Market research confirmed that no other source is acceptable according to USCG Engineering requirements. The estimated total value of this award is over the micro-purchase threshold but up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods such as comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, or comparison to similar items.
