Repair Color Weather Radar

Attachment 5, titled

This document, Attachment 1 - Schedule for Solicitation 70Z03826QJ0000034, outlines the requirements for color weather radar units (NSN: 5821-01-522-5712, Part Number: 7009330-911), including procurement, repair, and handling of units deemed Beyond Economic Repair (BER) or requiring Test and Evaluation/No Fault Found (TTE/NFF) services. Vendors are instructed to provide pricing for one new unit, repair services for six units, and estimated costs for one BER/Scrap and one TTE/NFF unit. The quantities for BER/Scrap and TTE/NFF are estimates for price determination, with actual amounts based on vendor evaluation. It clarifies that BER fees are separate from TTE fees. The document emphasizes filling only the yellow-highlighted boxes and directs questions to Adam.A.Finnell2@uscg.mil. It also states that the government's failure to provide estimated items will not lead to price adjustments for the contractor.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) requires repairs for six Color Weather Radar components (NSN 5821-01-522-5712, P/N 7009330-911) for MH-60T aircraft. The contractor must evaluate components for airworthiness, perform repairs according to OEM specifications, and address corrosion common in saltwater environments. Components deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER) will incur a fee, and a failure data report is required for both repaired and BER items. Repairs must occur at the contractor's or a USCG-approved facility, using new, traceable replacement parts. The contractor must maintain ISO 9001-2000 quality certification, provide OEM certifications, and ensure all repaired parts are airworthy, tagged with proper documentation, including a Certificate of Airworthiness and a Certificate of Conformance. Components are tracked via serial numbers, requiring a Component Repair Record (CRR) and adherence to USCG audit procedures. Delivery of test and evaluation results is due within 15 days, and repairs within 60 days of induction.

This government file, Attachment 3, outlines the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) clauses and provisions applicable to orders resulting from solicitation 70Z03826QJ0000034, effective October 1, 2025. It details the evaluation criteria for offers, emphasizing technical acceptability and lowest price, and specifies requirements for documentation from offerors, particularly for repair services of Color Weather Radars. The document also includes extensive certifications and representations from offerors regarding business status (e.g., small business, veteran-owned), compliance with various federal laws (e.g., Buy American Act, prohibitions on certain business operations), and safeguarding of covered contractor information systems. Key clauses cover whistleblower rights, data security, packaging, shipping, inspection, acceptance, and invoicing, with a strong focus on quality assurance and traceability for products affecting USCG aircraft.

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking a sole-source acquisition for the repair of six color weather radar units (Part Number 7009330-911, NSN 5821-01-522-5712) used on MH-60T aircraft. This justification for other than full and open competition is based on the fact that Honeywell International Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds exclusive rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for these complex repairs. Market research indicates no other source can meet the USCG's critical operational and reliability requirements, making it uneconomical for the government to acquire the necessary data. The repairs are essential for routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The contracting officer will determine a fair and reasonable price through methods such as market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison to similar items.
