This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for HC-144 Integral Fuel Tank Repair services for the United States Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard seeks a one-time purchase for repair services of HC-144 aircraft integral fuel tanks. The work involves sealant removal from specified internal tank surfaces, non-destructive testing preparation, and re-sealing of tank surfaces in accordance with USCG standards, to be completed on-site at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC). The contractor must be an FAA Authorized Repair Center acceptable to the Coast Guard with experience in CN235 fuel tank repair and maintain either ISO 9000 compliance or an equivalent quality system. The contractor is responsible for all necessary tooling, materials, labor, test equipment, parts, engineering services, and documentation. The government furnishes hangar space, fuel bowser, utilities, and replacement aircraft parts found to be damaged during re-sealing. The required turn-around time is thirty days after aircraft access is provided, though expeditious completion is desired. The contractor must establish a warranty plan covering all repair work for at least ninety days after fuel introduction and must maintain FAA, EASA, DOD, OEM, Industry Standard Certification, NADCAP, and/or USCG certifications throughout contract duration.

Schedule A details specific component removal, quality assurance inspection, and reinstallation tasks for both center and outer wing fuel tanks, including approximately forty distinct components across left-hand and right-hand sides. Additional work includes sealant removal and application at seven LH and seven RH center wing ribs, rear spar areas, and outer wing sections per detailed technical references. Final inspection and acceptance requires pneumatic leak checks and a twenty-four-hour soak check before acceptance, with any fuel leaks within ninety days treated as warranty items.
