STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

Offsite PSI and Block 8.1 Upgrade for up to four (4) USCG HC-130J Aircraft

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Long Range Surveillance (LRS) Product Line Division (PLD), has a need to establish continued support for Progressive Structural Inspection (PSI) and Depot Level Maintenance (DLM) of C-130J aircraft.

The USCG ALC is responsible for providing aviation support in DLM, engineering, supply, procurement, information services, and acquisition project execution for the USCG’s aviation community. The C-130J aircraft are the USCG's LRS aircraft providing critical Search and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Logistics, and Marine Environmental Protection response to the United States of America.

1.2 SCOPE

The PSI is the depot level inspection and repairs of the C-130 series aircraft to ensure airworthiness through detailed non-destructive inspection procedures. Additionally, these inspections ensure compliance with Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) requirements.

Due to the corrosive environment in which USCG aircraft operate, a PSI is required to be performed on each USCG C-130 every 48 months (previous PSI to new induction). The LRS PLD estimates a need to complete PSI for up to four (4) C-130J aircraft. The facility will be required to conduct PSI for up to two aircraft in flow at a time with additional space for at least one (1) aircraft in Unscheduled Depot Level Maintenance (UDLM). Avionics Modernization may be required for the C-130J in conjunction with the PSI. The period of performance for this contract will be October 2020 to October 2023. During the period of performance an UDLM may be required for additional C-130J aircraft which are not currently inducted into PSI.

1.3 OBJECTIVE

This effort will satisfy the structural overhaul requirements for these C-130J aircraft. The PSI services are divided into 9 Phases which include Induction, De-paint, Disassembly, Inspection, Repairs, Assembly, Operational Test, Functional Test Flights, and Paint. This effort will be accomplished in accordance with the USCG C-130 Depot Maintenance Procedure Cards (DMPC) in Attachment 2. The Contractor shall be responsible for the following functional areas:

PSI (and all de-painting and painting) of C-130J aircraft Depot Level repairs to a C-130J aircraft and system components Non-Routine Repairs Procurement, storage, stocking of inventory, control, accounting, issue, and shipping of supply parts and aeronautical equipment for a C-130J aircraft Preservation, storage, and maintenance of replacement aircraft parts Tracking and reporting the supply status on all parts associated with the PSI Aircraft sheet metal shop support and machine shop support

Maintenance on C130J AE 2100D engines and R391 propellers Avionics Modernization Line Ground and Flight Support of aircraft, to include repair of flight and non-flight generated discrepancies, hourly and calendar Maintenance Due List (MDL) items, aircraft fueling, de-fueling, and fireguard duties to launch aircraft

UDLM including Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) implementation as well as depot level structural repair and/or replacement of parts.

Ground and Flight Support of UDLM aircraft transferred to the contractor, to include repair of flight and non-flight generated discrepancies, hourly and calendar Maintenance Due List (MDL) items, aircraft fueling, de-fueling, and fireguard duties to launch aircraft

This contract is Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) with line items for completing specific milestones in the planned PSI schedule. In addition to the FFP there is a fully burdened labor hour cost Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) for items that may need to be completed, but are not currently identified in the basic scope of work for this contract; this will specifically be used for pricing unexpected work and UDLM in this basic Statement of Work (SOW).

In order to help ensure timely delivery of Contractor Furnished Material (CFM)/parts, the ALC will fund three (3) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) for Materials (CLINs 0006, 1006, and 2006) for the aircraft in PSI. The Contracting Officer Representative (COR)’s approval is required before acquiring CFM/parts from the approved sources of supply and/or manufacturers from Aviation Maintenance Management Information System (AMMIS). If the Contractor desires to purchase a part from a non-AMMIS approved manufacturer or if the part is not loaded in AMMIS, the Contractor must initiate a Supply Item Change Record (SICR) in accordance with ALC Instruction, 5213.1(series) SICR Preparation and Routing Procedures.

The first PSI aircraft is to be inducted by the Contractor approximately 60 - 90 days after award.

The Government will provide the date on which the aircraft can be inducted at the time of the post-award meeting.

The Aircraft may be inducted earlier if both parties agree. The final delivery requirement for this effort is an aircraft that has undergone a complete depot maintenance and PSI process and has been fully tested. The Contractor shall complete the PSI within 220 calendar days from date of induction.

For aircraft undergoing PSI, the aircraft induction date is defined as the first full calendar day the aircraft is at the contractor facility for Induction. Flow days for PSI start accruing upon induction. Final delivery is defined as completion of paint and acceptance of the aircraft documented in a Form DD250 signed by the COR.

The Contractor may request additional days in accordance with FAR 52.212-4(f) if the Contractor believes that delays were Government caused, or are otherwise excusable delays. Any extension will be decided by the Contracting Officer and implemented via issuance of a contract modification. The issue will be handled through the disputes clause if there is a disagreement.

The USCG is the Airworthiness Authority for all actions performed under this contract.

2.3 PARTS SUPPORT

The Contractor is solely responsible for the acquisition of the components required for maintenance under this contract for C-130J aircraft with the exception of the components listed in Attachment 3. The Contractor will be provided access to AMMIS in order to view approved sources of supply and/or manufacturers for various components. The COR will assist the Contractor with obtaining access to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) ordering applications as a resource for procuring materials for use in performance of this contract.

When late delivery of a CFM component may adversely affect the aircraft production or delivery schedule, and where the capability exists, the Contractor shall request authority to repair/overhaul the component, or request assistance in obtaining the component from the Government within ten (10) business days of determining the late delivery of the CFM component may affect the aircraft production or delivery schedule. Failing to notify the Government within ten (10) business days does not relieve the Contractor of performing the PSI by the required delivery date. Notification may be accomplished electronically and must include an identification of the item(s) needed, applicable part numbers, required date of delivery, a description of efforts made to secure the item(s), and proposed lead-times from other sources.

Any extension of the delivery date requires endorsement from the COR and authorization from the Contracting Officer.

Upon completion of the contractual period, any remaining GFM and GFP assets (supplied but not used) shall be returned to the USCG in the same condition in which they were received. The Contractor shall return all GFM and GFP components back to USCG within 30 days of the end of the contractual period as instructed.

2.3.1 Government Furnished Material (GFM) (Attachment 3)

Requests for components listed in Attachment 3 shall be submitted to the USCG COR as soon as the need is known or anticipated. The request shall include the part number(s) required, and shall include a required date of delivery. Delays in receiving GFM/GFE do not automatically result in an adjustment to the delivery schedule of an aircraft. In no case shall an acceptable required date of delivery be less than 14 calendar days in the future from the request of any/all GFM. Exceptions to this rule will be handled on a case by case basis by the COR.

The Contractor shall acknowledge actual receipt of all GFM provided. If the Contractor requests GFM which is not listed in Attachment 3 and the request is approved by the COR, the cost to the Government of the supplied GFM will not be billed to the Government. Delivery of GFM is considered complete when GFM is received by the Contractor. All non-RFI GFM shall be turned in within seven (7) business days of receipt of the replacement RFI GFM.

The Government shall be reimbursed for the repair or replacement of GFM components damaged due to Contractor negligence or error.

The Contractor will be responsible for receipting and shipping of all GFM provided for by the Government in AMMIS. AMMIS access will be provided to the Contractor to fulfill this requirement. RFI material receipts in AMMIS must be done prior to manifesting and shipping the non-RFI assets back to ALC.

2.3.2 Parts Procurement

CFM costs shall be supported by documentation of a competitive pricing process (i.e. a commercial invoice). Any agreements with material suppliers must have documentation supporting price reasonableness for all direct materials purchased. The Contractor shall be reimbursed for actual cost of Contractor-furnished direct parts and materials, along with related shipping charges (excluding handling fees or royalties and less any rebates, refunds, or discounts received by the contractor that are identifiable to the contract). The USCG reserves the right to review any costs associated with this effort and may require documentation of a competitive pricing process to support any invoices submitted for direct material cost and may reject invoices deemed unreasonable. These procedures for reimbursement of direct material costs shall govern the process for the entire contractual period.

The LRS PL at the ALC will work with the Contractor’s supply department to ensure all ALC SICR processes are followed for acquiring CFM components. All support material (including personal protection equipment (PPE) and administrative supplies) shall be the responsibility of the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

All replacement part(s) used in the PSI must either be from an approved manufacturer, source of supply in AMMIS, or be approved by LRS Engineering in accordance with ALC policies. Only parts that have traceability to the approved manufacturer of those specific part(s) or alternate part(s) shall be used. Airworthiness Certificates (8130-3 or alternate) must be provided for all flight critical parts. Alternate parts must satisfy all form, fit, and function requirements of the original parts and conform to the approved configuration of the assembly. USCG C-130 Engineering approval must be received prior to utilization of an alternate manufacturer or supplier not recognized as authorized in AMMIS. USCG Engineering shall respond within five
