Overhaul of Cabin Air Pressure Valve

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) requires overhaul services for HC-130J aircraft components to ensure mission readiness. This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for contractors, who must be Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) or OEM-certified, to restore components to a Ready for Issue (RFI) condition. All work must adhere to technical directives, including OEM manuals and U.S. Federal Specifications, with firm-fixed pricing for standard overhaul services.

This document outlines the terms and conditions for a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acquisition of commercial items, specifically focusing on overhaul services for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). It details the evaluation criteria for offers, prioritizing technical acceptability, delivery, and price. Key technical requirements include access to technical directives, airworthiness certification, and certification as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an OEM Certified Facility. The document also addresses subcontractor requirements, quality assurance, and packaging standards. Furthermore, it incorporates several Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses and deviations, including those concerning security prohibitions and exclusions related to telecommunications equipment, unmanned aircraft systems, and restrictions on business operations in Sudan and Iran.

This government file, Attachment 3 - Schedule - 70Z03826QH0000075, outlines a solicitation for the overhaul of eight Cabin Air Pressure Valves (NSN: 1660-01-483-3094, Part Number: 103036-5) for the USCG. The schedule includes a line item for 'Beyond Economic Repair/No Fault Found' items, with the quantity to be determined. The USCG intends to initially order eight units and may increase the quantity by four additional units, up to a maximum of twelve, at the same unit price for up to 365 days after the initial award, as per FAR 52.217-6 Option for Increased Quantity. Vendors are instructed to fill in the yellow boxes for unit price and are advised to clearly state any additional charges, fees, or prompt payment discounts in their quotation. The document is a schedule attachment for an RFP, detailing specific requirements and quantities for a federal government procurement.

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking approval for a sole-source award to overhaul eight Cabin Air Pressure Valves for HC-130J aircraft, with an option for four additional units. This justification for restricting competition is based on the fact that Honeywell International, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these valves. Only two designated OEM Authorized Centers, Sherwood Avionics & Accessories, Inc. and Duncan Aviation, Inc., have access to the necessary OEM Commercial Maintenance Manual (CMM) and technical data for overhauls. Market research supports that no other sources meet the USCG Engineering requirements. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods such as market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison to similar items or an independent government cost estimate.
