This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for manufacturing and testing first article and production items utilized on the United States Coast Guard (USCG) MH-60T helicopter. The selected contractor must provide all necessary materials, labor, tooling, and facilities to manufacture the shelf assemblies in accordance with specific Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) drawings, ensuring perimeter mounting holes are excluded. The contractor is required to deliver one first article unit each for Line Items 1 and 3 within 30 calendar days after receipt of the order. The USCG will conduct form, fit, and function testing on government aircraft and notify the contractor of approval or disapproval within 60 days.

The USCG will only release these documents to approved U.S. businesses. Additionally, the contractor must maintain a quality management system compliant with ISO 9001-2000 or equivalent, provide standard warranties, and package a Certificate of Conformance with each delivered part to secure payment.
