Indefinite Delivery Contract HSCG3810D202048

Airbus Helicopters, Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the U.S. Coast Guard on May 19, 2010, with a ceiling value of $599,165.31 and ultimate completion date of May 18, 2015. The contract authorizes the repair and overhaul of critical HH-65/MH-65 Dolphin helicopter components, specifically main rotor shafts and tail rotor spiders, which are essential components for the Coast Guard's search and rescue and maritime security operations. As the original equipment manufacturer for the MH-65 platform, Airbus Helicopters maintains sole-source status for these specialized repair services. Work is performed at the contractor's facilities in Grand Prairie, Texas, with no small business set-aside applied to the contract. The firm-fixed-price structure provides cost certainty for the government while enabling the Coast Guard to maintain operational readiness of its helicopter fleet through access to authorized component repairs and overhaul services.

Throughout the contract's performance period from May 2010 through May 2015, the Coast Guard issued 46 delivery orders totaling approximately $545,000 in combined ceiling values, representing the actual utilization of the indefinite delivery vehicle. Delivery orders encompassed ongoing repair of H-65 aircraft parts, including main rotor shafts, spider bearings, tail rotor spiders, and associated helicopter components. The majority of performance locations were located in Grand Prairie, Texas, with select orders performed at facilities in Rosslyn, Virginia and Herndon, Virginia. Individual delivery order values ranged from zero dollars for cancelled orders to approximately $45,085, with typical orders ranging between $5,000 and $25,000. The consistent issuance of repair orders throughout the five-year contract period demonstrates the ongoing demand for component maintenance support required to sustain Coast Guard MH-65 operations, with modifications to serial numbers, unit pricing adjustments, and delivery date extensions reflecting the dynamic nature of fleet maintenance requirements.
