Delivery Order HSCG3811D200002-HSCG3817JB10232

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a delivery order valued at $9.5 million to Safran Helicopter Engines USA, Inc. (doing business as Turbomeca USA Inc.) on August 1, 2017, for support-by-the-hour engine support services and technical representative support for Turbomeca Arriel 2C2CG engines installed on the USCG HH-65 helicopter fleet. The contract was awarded on a firm fixed-price basis with no small business set-aside designation. Performance is based in Grand Prairie, Texas, with a completion date of January 31, 2018. Safran Helicopter Engines USA, a subsidiary of French aerospace and defense corporation Safran SA, was selected as the original equipment manufacturer for these engines and maintains sole-source authority under Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions due to its specialized technical expertise and critical role in sustaining the Coast Guard's rotary-wing aviation capabilities.

This delivery order represents work under Safran's broader indefinite delivery contract with the Coast Guard, which is valued at approximately $109.1 million and extends through December 31, 2027. The underlying indefinite delivery vehicle provides comprehensive maintenance, repair, overhaul, and technical support services for approximately 98 Arriel engines across the MH-65 helicopter fleet, supporting Coast Guard operational readiness through the projected engine service life extending to 2035. The support-by-the-hour contract structure ensures predictable costs while enabling the Coast Guard to maintain mission-critical rotary-wing aviation assets and sustain personnel training and asset management requirements.
