    Attachment 1- Terms and Conditions.pdf
    This government solicitation (70Z03826QL0000028) outlines the terms and conditions for acquiring commercial items, primarily focusing on repair and overhaul services for Coast Guard aircraft components. Key requirements include FAA, OEM, or Air Force certification for technical acceptability, adherence to OEM Component Maintenance Manuals, and a 60-day offer acceptance period. The evaluation criteria prioritize the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer. The document details strict prohibitions on certain telecommunications equipment, software, and entities from specific foreign countries (e.g., China, Iran, Sudan) to ensure national security. It also specifies packaging, shipping to Elizabeth City, NC, inspection at destination, and invoicing procedures, including
    Attachment 2- Redacted JA.pdf
    The document outlines a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the sole source procurement of repair and modification services for specific aircraft actuators (p/n 2A7213E and 2A7213D) for HC-144 aircraft. The justification, under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)1), states that only one responsible source, AIRBUS DS MILITARY AIRCRAFT, INC (CAGE code 0DAF1), can provide these services. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Airbus owns all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. The government does not possess these rights, and it is deemed uneconomical to purchase them. Market research efforts, including past procurement history and the Inventory Locator Service (ILS®), were conducted to identify potential sources, but only the OEM or an OEM-approved facility meets the criteria for possessing service data, capability, and turnaround time. The USCG cannot legally alter the requirements due to operational safety and flight critical mandates. Future actions to overcome competition barriers include continued market research through various aviation platforms and trade shows, though purchasing OEM rights remains economically unfeasible.
    Attachment 3- Statement of Work.pdf
    This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for the inspection, repair, and overhaul of specific aircraft components for the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Services must be provided by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), an OEM Authorized Repair Center, or an FAA Certified 145 Repair Center acceptable to the Coast Guard, adhering strictly to OEM specifications and quality systems like ISO 9000. The SOW details the types of repairs, the handling of corrosion, and the process for determining if a component is Beyond Economical Repair (BER). Contractors must provide a Teardown and Inspection Report (TIR) within five days of inspection and ensure components are thoroughly cleaned of hazardous materials. A 90-day turnaround time is required, and all repaired components must be airworthy, accompanied by an FAA airworthiness release (Form 8130-3) or an authorized Certificate of Conformance. Strict packaging, preservation, and labeling requirements are also specified to ensure safe transit and storage, with final inspection and acceptance performed by ALC quality assurance personnel.
