The US Coast Guard (USCG) seeks proposals from experienced organizations for the overhaul and repair of the 14RF-37 Propeller Assembly and its components. The goal is to award a single Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a firm-fixed pricing structure to maintain the airworthiness of the HC-144 Maritime Patrol Aircraft fleet.
The selected contractor will provide FAA-authorized maintenance and repair services for Hamilton Sundstrand components, ensuring adherence to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. The scope includes component teardown, inspection, repair, and testing, along with compliance with corrosion treatment protocols. Access to OEM publications and a robust supply chain are essential.
This procurement also entails compliance with federal regulations, including those related to telecommunications, responsibility matters, and tax payments, with contractors required to certify their adherence.
The contract is divided into a base year and four optional years, with pricing requirements for all periods. The USCG will evaluate proposals based on technical merit, focusing on OEM compliance, turnaround times, subcontracting capabilities, and cost-effectiveness.
Interested parties should refer to the attached documents, including the Terms and Conditions, Schedule of Services, Statement of Work, and Past Performance Questionnaire. Key dates to note: the deadline for submitting questions is July 23, 2024, and the closing date for proposals is August 11, 2024.
For clarity, it has been emphasized that contractors are not responsible for providing replacement blades if the USCG sends defective propellers for overhaul. The USCG will handle scrap components and issue new tasks as required.
