REPAIR OF ENGINE OIL TANK FOR USE ON MH-65

This federal solicitation (Requirements: 70Z03826QB0000164) is a request for quotes by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for the repair, test, and evaluation of aviation engine oil tanks. The procurement is structured under two primary Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for an engine oil tank with National Stock Number (NSN) 1560-01-HS3-4580 and Part Number WAIMOD-43773: 1. **CLIN 1:** Repair services for a maximum quantity of 25 units, which includes a Test and Evaluation (T/E) fee, to be performed in accordance with Section 3 of the Statement of Work. 2. **CLIN 2:** Test and Evaluation services for items subsequently deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER), to be performed in accordance with Section 11 of the Statement of Work. Vendors must provide firm-fixed-price quotes, including a T/E fee applicable if a unit meets minimum performance specifications and is Ready for Installation (RFI), or if it is determined to be BER. The USCG will provide written disposition instructions for any BER items and explicitly notes that it will not pay scrap fees. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and must specify delivery lead times (Days After Receipt of Order), shipping costs, and any applicable discounts.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines requirements for the overhaul, test, evaluation, and repair/modification of 25 MH-65 helicopter Engine Oil Tanks for the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC). Upon receiving the components, the contractor must conduct visual and functional inspections. If a unit is Ready for Installation (RFI), the contractor performs necessary modifications and bills only for that service. If a unit is Beyond Economical Repair (BER) or requires no modification, only the firm-fixed-price test and evaluation fee applies. Non-RFI units must be repaired to RFI standards using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manuals and Coast Guard specifications. The USCG will provide specific Government Furnished Material (GFM), including liquid sight indicators and O-rings, which must be returned if unused. Contractors must possess all required technical documentation, maintain ISO 9001, AS9110, or equivalent quality certifications, and hold valid FAA, EASA, DoD, OEM, or USCG repair certifications. All completed parts must be airworthy, accompanied by a completed DD Form 1574 and a Certificate of Conformance, and thoroughly cleaned of hazardous materials like hexavalent chromium, lead, and cadmium before shipment. The required turnaround time is 15 calendar days after receipt of components for test and evaluation, and 30 calendar days for repairs.

This document outlines the terms and conditions for U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) solicitation 70Z03826QB0000164, issued by the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) for commercial product repairs and parts procurement. Because of the sole-source nature of the acquisition, the basis for award relies on fair and reasonable pricing rather than standard evaluation criteria, though technical acceptability requires providing new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or OEM-approved parts. Key compliance requirements include the Service Contract Labor Standards, with provisions for retroactive wage determinations if additional places of performance are requested. Contractors must adhere to strict quality assurance protocols for products touching USCG aircraft, which includes providing complete traceability, Certificates of Conformance, and FAA Airworthiness documentation (such as FAA Form 8130-3). Specific packaging, labeling, and marking guidelines are mandated for the ALC supply depot in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Additionally, the document incorporates various federal acquisition regulations and deviations, notably provisions addressing security prohibitions and exclusions (such as TikTok, Kaspersky Lab, and FASCSA orders), corporate tax liabilities, felony convictions, and restrictions on discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities in subcontracting.

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The purpose of the procurement is to contract specialized repair services for 25 engine oil tanks utilized on MH-65 helicopters. Upon completion, the repaired components will be re-identified to a new National Stock Number and part number for active fleet use. The Coast Guard has restricted the acquisition to Advantage Aviation Technologies, located in Grand Prairie, Texas, as they are the only source identified by Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) Engineering with the technical capabilities, Component Maintenance Manuals, and specifications required to perform the first article repairs. The government has determined that performing these repairs in-house is either not feasible or not economically viable. The Contracting Officer will determine price reasonableness using methods such as market research, historical price comparisons, current price lists, and Independent Government Cost Estimates.

This document is a federal Service Contract Act (SCA) Wage Determination (No. 2015-5231, Revision 32, dated May 13, 2026) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. It establishes the minimum wage rates and fringe benefits for contracted service occupations in the Texas counties of Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise.

Additionally, the document details specific rules regarding Executive Orders 13706 (paid sick leave) and 13658 (minimum wage), hazardous pay differentials (4% to 8%), and uniform allowance reimbursements ($3.35 per week if maintenance is required). It also provides instructions for the Conformance Process (using Standard Form 1444) to establish wage rates for any service occupations required for a contract that are not explicitly listed in this schedule.
