The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) issues a Statement of Work (SOW) for overhaul services of various aircraft components, specifically for the HC-130J aircraft. The contractor is tasked with returning components to a Ready for Issue (RFI) condition, adhering to technical directives and certification requirements. The overhaul must include repairs for damaged components, replacing parts as necessary, and ensuring compliance with specified standards.
The SOW emphasizes the need for contractors to be certified by either the FAA, OEM, or DoD and requires a detailed list of any subcontractors involved. It outlines inspection and reporting requirements upon receiving components and mandates that all replacement parts must be traceable to the OEM. Safety regulations and environmental considerations, such as the removal of hazardous materials, are also highlighted.
In case of unusually damaged components, the contractor is required to notify the USCG promptly, providing detailed reports and pricing proposals for repair. The completion of the overhaul must certify that components are airworthy, with invoices and quality assurance systems in place for effective oversight. This SOW is crucial for maintaining USCG aviation operations and ensuring mission readiness.
