The clauses and provisions contained herein are applicable to any order awarded as a result of this solicitation.

The terms and conditions set forth herein supersede all other terms and conditions. Acceptance of the order in accordance with (IAW) FAR 12.201 constitutes acceptance of all terms and conditions contained herein.

(a) Provisions

52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services Aug 2025

(DEVIATION 25-21) (effective November 28, 2025)

52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services Aug 2025

(a) Evaluation Factors. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation of Commercial Items is not applicable to this solicitation. In lieu of this provision, quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203 based on the criteria listed below. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror representing the best value to the Government.

Price: The offeror shall provide pricing as requested in the attached spreadsheet titled “Attachment 1 – Schedule

– 70Z03826QJ0000203”. Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. The offeror’s quotation will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR

12.204, in order to determine if it is fair and reasonable.

Technical Acceptability: Technical Acceptability will be evaluated to determine an overall rating of

“acceptable” or “unacceptable”. This will be determined by evaluating the ability of the offeror to provide a sound, compliant approach that meets all requirements listed in the Statement of Work (SOW) and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that their quotation clearly demonstrates their ability to perform these requirements.

All offerors must provide the following minimum information and documentation with their quotations:

• Overhaul turnaround time to include both the Test and Evaluation (TTE) and overhaul of units on

“Attachment 1 – Schedule – 70Z03826QJ0000203”.

• Offerors that are not the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must be an authorized OEM overhaul facility. Any offeror quoting as an OEM authorized overhaul facility must provide documentation that they are OEM authorized and a copy of the cover page of Depot Maintenance Work

Request (DMWR) 1-1615-292 that will be utilized by the Contractor to complete the overhaul of units.

The revision date of the DMWR used must be referenced.

• Detailed explanation of any requirement listed in the SOW that cannot be successfully accomplished by the offeror. If not addressed, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) will assume that the offeror does not take exception to any terms or conditions.

• Offeror must be able to provide a certificate of conformance (COC) with all parts repaired.

• FAA Repair Station Certificate/European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Industry Standard.

Certification (i.e., National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP)) and/or USCG certifications in accordance with (IAW) the SOW.

In addition to being an OEM authorized overhaul facility and having access to the latest revision of the DMWR

1-1615-292, offerors that are not the OEM must be approved by USCG Medium Range Recovery (MRR)

Engineering to repair the units on “Attachment 1 – Schedule – 70Z03826QJ0000203”. If an offeror is not previously MRR Engineering approved, the standard approval process will be initiated upon close of the solicitation. Offerors must complete a vendor survey and submit all required materials for review. Upon discretion of MRR Engineering, a site visit may be required prior to achieving full approval. The closing date for receipt of offers nor the award of this requirement may not be delayed during the Contractor’s approval process.

Evaluation Method:

Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical or past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer is identified.

(b) Acceptance of FAR 52.217-6: The contractor shall indicate whether they will accept the inclusion of FAR clause 52.217-6 in any order awarded as a result of this solicitation. If yes, the contractor should indicate whether they will honor the clause through one year after date of award or provide the last date they will honor pricing for additional orders. For reference, the full text of this clause is included on page 19 of these Terms and

Conditions.

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
