SOLICITATION HSCG38-18-

STATEMENT OF WORK

HC-27J AND HC-130J PROPELLER ASSY AND COMPONENT OVERHAUL/REPAIR, FIELD SERVICE REPRESENATIVE, and PUBLICATIONS

1. Background

1.1 The United States Coast Guard (USCG) currently operates ten (10) HC-27J Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The aircraft is manufactured by LEONARDO SpA, Piazza Monte Grappa, Rome, Italy. The USCG currently operates seventeen (17) HC-130J Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The aircraft is manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co., Marietta, GA. Each HC-27J aircraft utilizes two (2) R391 Propeller Assemblies per aircraft and the HC-130J requires four (4) R391 Propeller Assemblies per aircraft. GE Aviation Systems Limited is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the R391 propeller and component assemblies. GE mandates an overhaul schedule requiring that the HC-27J meet a 10 year or 4,800 flight hour overhaul, whichever comes first and a 15 year or 7,500 flight hours for the HC-130J. The USCG operates the HC-130J and HC-27J at sites within the CONUS (Continental United States) Alaska and Hawaii. These aircraft are specifically equipped to perform all USCG missions which include search and rescue, maritime safety, security, and logistics, as well as national defense and protection of natural resources.

1.2 This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the HC-27J and HC-130J repair and overhaul requirements for the propeller assembly and the propeller components needed to support the USCG HC-27J and HC-130J aircraft as well as the Field Service Representative (FSR) and manual requirements in support of both aircraft. GE Aviation Systems LLC is the OEM authorized repair facility for the identified repair/overhaul services in this Statement of Work and only company capable of providing qualified FSRs. Repair of the propeller and sub-components are currently covered under contract 70Z03820DW00000001 which expires in August 2024. The HC-27J and HC-130J aircraft are operated differently from general aviation in support of USCG search and rescue missions, as well as surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. USCG HC-27J and HC-130J missions require frequent operation at lower altitudes and in salt–laden environments. These environments accelerate corrosion on airframe structures and components of the aircraft. The aircraft and its components are inspected by USCG personnel in accordance with (IAW) the (OEM) periodic requirements and in conjunction with the USCG’s specialized Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS).

2. Scope

2.1 The scope of this requirement includes the overhaul and repair services for the Dowty R391 propeller and components and includes the components identified by part number in the delivery schedule. As the OEM, the data rights relative to the R391 propeller and components are proprietary to Dowty. GE is the only OEM authorized repair/overhaul facility authorized for the components identified in this requirement. This requirement includes the complete teardown, inspection, rework or overhaul, assembly, and testing of the components identified in the schedule IAW OEM specifications. This requirement also requires access to all manuals to include all updates as published/released by GE. This requirement establishes the minimum USCG requirements necessary for overhaul or repair of the propeller and propeller components, and is not intended to be all inclusive, nor detract from the procedures outlined in the manufacturer’s drawings, manuals, specifications, and service bulletins. USCG configuration control requires that applicable service bulletins and modifications for all propeller assemblies and components not previously configured, shall not be incorporated without prior written approval from the USCG Contracting Officer.

2.2 The USCG anticipates that this requirement will include unscheduled repairs, service bulletin incorporation, and possible modifications for the propeller assemblies and components, and that the terms and conditions of providing unscheduled services will be negotiated at the time of need.

2.3 This effort consists of Contractor support to include Field Service Support, Organizational Level (O-Level) support, Leading Edge Guard blade repair/replacement (and potential upgrades), and access to the OEM technical manuals and publication.

2.4 The OEM of the aircraft propellers Dowty, allows GE access to license, manuals and data and solely authorizes GE to perform overhauls and major repairs. Both companies fall under the GE Aerospace LLC umbrella. The USCG intends to award to GE a requirements type contract, with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) delivery orders. The contract will be one (1) Base years with four (4) option periods of one year each.

2.5 The Government shall not be liable for any amount expended by the Contractor in excess of the applicable firm fixed price reflected in the Schedule unless prior written authorization has been given by the Contracting Officer. Incorporation of Service Bulletins or repairs for Unusual Damage will be priced separately.

3. Requirements

3.1 The contractor shall inspect, test, troubleshoot, clean, overhaul and repair the Dowty R391 propeller assemblies and components within this scope and requirements. Overhaul and repair shall be IAW the current Dowty Manuals or other OEM Component Maintenance Manuals, revisions, temporary revisions, and specifications, including Service Bulletins, amendments, and modifications, while maintaining any USCG specific requirements for return to service in a Ready For Issue (RFI) condition and USCG operational use. The Dowty R391 propeller assemblies and components must remain configured for installation on USCG HC-27J and HC-130J aircraft.

3.2 All USCG R391 Propeller assemblies and components received by the Contractor, within this requirement, have been inspected, repaired, overhauled, and functionally within ninety (90) calendar days after receipt of materiel. Components are deemed in serviceable RFI condition or as otherwise directed by the USCG Contracting Officer with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airworthiness Form 8130-3, or the OEM Certificate of Conformance, or a Certificate of Conformance IAW Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) clause 52.246-15. The USCG requirement also includes to have the repaired propeller assembly returned to the USCG as a full assembly on a prop stand for immediate installation or disassembled with the blades removed in a crate for long term storage. Assemblies are to be returned to the USCG assembled or disassembled as directed by the Contracting Officer on the individual task order. A critical element to effectiveness of the contract will be adherence to delivery schedule. The majority of the components covered by this requirement will be allocated to support aircraft depot maintenance.

3.3 The Contractor is responsible for all necessary functions to perform services requested. This includes, but is not limited to, required tooling, manuals, test equipment, parts, material, engineering services, management, personnel, documentation, preservation, shipping, etc.

3.4 The USCG anticipates at least two levels of service “Repair” and “Overhaul.”

3.4.1 “Repair” - “Return to Service” which is considered inspect, repair, and test as necessary. This work consists of inspection and analysis usually of a specific defective condition, repair of that condition, replacement of defective parts only as necessary, and testing to meet the OEM’s functional return to service requirements. A repair does not zero the “Time Since Overhaul” (TSO), component time continues for repaired items.

3.4.2 “Overhaul” - “High Time,” having reached one of the OEM’s airworthiness limitations any life cycle limits or having some other general condition (out-of-limit/or tolerance) such as excessive wear, tear, damage, or corrosion, as deemed to require an overhaul level of service. An “Overhaul” is considered over and above the “Repair” scope; it includes the complete teardown, inspection, rework, assembly, and testing of components, to OEM original or rebuild specifications. An overhaul zeroes the TSO and effectively restarts restoration intervals and OEM component life cycle limits as applicable. All propellers shall be overhauled unless otherwise specified.

3.5 The Contractor must track and document calendar time, flight time, flight/life cycles, all work and services performed on R391 Propeller assemblies and components as required under USCG System ACMS. See Section 6 for specific information.

3.6 The contractor shall ensure that all Service Bulletins (SB), Amendment (AMD) and MODs that have previously been incorporated remain incorporated unless otherwise appropriately superseded and directed by the USCG Contracting Officer.

3.7 The contractor shall identify and recommend, new or additional SBs, AMDs, or MODs, as applicable, to be incorporated and specify how the SBs, AMDs, or MODs may affect components, part numbers, and pricing.

3.8 The contractor shall provide current lists and status of all Dowty or other OEM Manuals, Component Maintenance Manuals (CMM), Revisions (Rev), Temporary Revisions (TR), (SB’s),(MOD’s), (AMD’s), including Contractor specifications and procedures applicable to be used for the inspection, repairs or modification of the USCG model R391 Propeller assemblies and components.

3.8.1 The list/lists may be provided in the Contractors’ style and format but must contain the following information:

· Name/Nomenclature and type of document

· Part numbers as applicable

· Air Transport Association (ATA) Charter Code

· Basic / Issue dates

· Revision or TR numbers and dates

· OEM and applicable cage code

3.9 If the Contractor receives information more current than that previously provided to the USCG, the Contractor must identify the Dowty or other OEM Manuals, CMMs, Revisions, and specifications, including SBs, AMDs, and MODs, and provide a brief synopsis of the revisions and dates to the USCG’s Contracting Officer for review and disposition approval. Refer to paragraph 3.15 for the incorporation of SBs and MODs.

3.10 All parts must be thoroughly cleaned IAW applicable CMMs to ensure they are as free as practicable of all hazardous dust to include hexavalent chromium, cadmium, lead, etc., prior to being returned to ALC. OEM manuals take precedence should discrepancies be found. ALC may take random samples of parts to ensure they are free as practicable of all hazards. Information on these hazards can be found in Occupational Safety and Health Standards 1910.1025 (lead), 1910.1026 (Hexavalent Chromium) and 1910.1027 (Cadmium).

3.11 Notification of Variances

The Contractor shall provide a copy of the regulatory authority approved variance when the Contractor deviates from the authorized configuration and/or uses unauthorized parts or components.

3.12 Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) The contractor shall give the Government notice of items that are becoming logistically non-supportable as well as how the DMSMS issue is being remedied. The Contractor shall identify and assist with resolution of R391 Propeller DMSMS determinations.

3.13 Configuration Changes

Configuration changes are categorized as Class I – Major or Class II.

The Contractor shall provide AMD and MOD information to the Government at the same time it is issued to the airframe.

3.14 The contractor shall provide written verification of receipt of delivery order within five (5) business days of award for all R391 Propeller assemblies and components.

3.14.1 Delivery order receipts shall include, but are not limited to, the following information: nomenclature, National Stock Numbers (NSN), Part Numbers (P/Ns),Serial Numbers (S/Ns), contract number, delivery order numbers, Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLIN), and dates of receipt.

3.14.2 Delivery order receipts via email are acceptable and may contain single or multiple notification entries.

3.14.3 Within ten (10) business days of receipt of propeller and components at the Contractor’s repair facility, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing providing the following information: (1) date the components were received at the Contractor’s facility, (2) Confirmation of P/Ns and S/Ns, and any discrepancy with the P/N and/or S/N shown on the task order and /or the SCHR and CRR.

3.15 The contractor shall maintain all SB’s (Mandatory and Optional) and other modifications previously incorporated unless otherwise directed by the USCG Contracting Officer.

3.15.1 SB configurations are subject to change during the contract period. SBs and MODs not previously incorporated shall be identified to the USCG Contracting Officer. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining and notifying the USCG Contracting Officer within seven (7) business days of SB changes and modifications, for disposition approval prior to incorporation of those changes and modifications.

3.15.2 SBs incorporated during performance of this requirement may create new part numbers to identify configuration changes, which supersede the previous configurations. In cases where the older configurations cannot be modified to the newer configurations, the new configuration part numbers may be added to the contract. The Contractor shall notify and request disposition instructions from the USCG Contracting Officer for superseded parts, which have been removed and replaced by newer configurations.

3.15.3 Upon receipt of notification and authorization from the USCG Contracting Officer that a SB or MOD is to be incorporated, the Contractor shall submit, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of that notification, a FFP quote for an incremental charge to be assessed each time the SB is incorporated in a component. The quote shall contain a breakdown of material and labor costs including hours, labor categories, labor rates, and applicable mark ups. The incremental charge agreed to for incorporation of a SB shall apply only to those components which the Contractor incorporates a required SB, and not those which the SB has been previously incorporated. Upon agreement of an incremental charge and issuance of a contract MOD to reflect this change, the SB shall be incorporated into each subsequent component received at the Contractor’s facility for which the SB has not already been incorporated. When SB incorporation changes the CLIN P/N, the new P/N shall be added to the contract. The same procedures apply if removal of SBs is required. Failure to supply a change notice shall forfeit the right to any increase because of the contractor’s failure to request additional funding. Unless the contractor has a signed contract MOD permitting a change and bearing the signature of a USCG Contracting Officer, funding has not been authorized. Performance without written authority will not be authorized for payment.

3.15.4 The Contractor shall provide supporting documentation to the Government within three (3) business days of notification to the regulatory authority for safety related service bulletins.

3.16 The contractor shall prepare and submit, component Teardown Inspection Reports (TIR)

3.16.1 A Teardown Inspection Report (TIR), are occasionally requested by the USCG Contracting Officer, and are usually requested in support of a USCG Engineering incident, Engineering Investigations (EI), safety investigation, warranty determination, or for other failure analysis.

3.16.2 Upon request the Contractor shall within ten (10) calendar days provide a copy of the TIR to the Contracting Officer.

3.16.3 TIRs, when requested, shall be forwarded to the USCG Contracting Officer prior to commencement of repair or overhaul work; pending USCG Engineering final review and release.

3.16.4 TIRs shall include Nomenclature, NSNs, P/Ns, S/Ns, Contract number, Delivery Order numbers, CLINs, including descriptions, photos, illustrations, and drawings, as necessary before and during teardown, for documentation of the failure, and list all parts and costs as would be required for repair/overhaul of the component or assembly.

3.17 Replacement Parts:

3.17.1 USCG serviceable parts will not be intermixed between HC-27J and HC-130J assemblies due to current service life differences set by the OEM. Component parts found to be in serviceable condition IAW OEM specifications and functional testing shall be reused. USCG components are tracked and shall not be included in rotatable exchanged parts.

3.17.2 USCG life and cycle limited components shall be deemed at life limit if the component has 10% or less hours or cycles remaining until the published airworthiness limit is reached. No subcomponent of the propeller assembly shall shorten the on-wing life of the assembly itself requiring early removal of the propeller assembly.

3.17.3 The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of any missing parts. This notification shall be within ten (10) business days of receipt of the propeller assemblies or components. The USCG will provide replacement parts or funding to the Contractor to replace missing parts at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The cost of missing parts should not be incorporated in the contract repair price. High time, life, or cycle limited parts which have reached their respective limits IAW paragraph 3.17.2 above, shall not be repaired or overhauled, but shall be replaced with other USCG serviceable parts or replaced with new OEM parts. The cost to replace high time, life, or cycle limited parts should be priced separately and not included in the cost of overhauled components under this contract.

3.17.4 Replacement parts shall be new and have full traceability to the OEM.

3.17.5 Defective parts: The cost of repair or replacement of defective parts is inclusive to the component repair contract price. Defective parts which cannot otherwise be repaired IAW OEM specifications, shall be scrapped IAW ALCINST 4100.1A dated 08 September 2016, and replaced with new OEM parts. The only exception is the major Sub- Assemblies (listed in 3.17.7) associated with Contract line item 1 (propeller assembly).

3.17.6 Defective Major Sub-assemblies’ part of CLIN 1 (propeller assembly): The Contractor shall submit a firm fixed price to include an itemized breakdown of part number, nomenclature, cost, and quantity of replacement parts. Upon approval by the Contracting Officer, the USCG will provide replacement parts or funding to the Contractor to replace the defective Sub-assemblies. The cost of these replacement parts (listed in 3.17.7) should not be incorporated in the contract repair cost.

3.17.7 List of Major Sub-assemblies under CLIN 1 (propeller assembly):

3.18 Beyond Economical Repair (BER):

3.18.1 When the cost of returning the component to serviceable condition, exceeds the current replacement cost of that component; or when the component cannot be repaired or overhauled due to damage or wear beyond the material properties, characteristic, or specifications of the item. The Contractor shall contact the USCG Contracting Officer, in writing, via e-mail, with specific rationale for the BER condition. The rationale shall include and provide nomenclature, NSN, P/N, S/N, contract number, delivery order number, and CLIN along with a cost breakdown of additional parts and labor as would be necessary to repair the component to serviceable status.

3.18.2 Once the contract line item is determined to be BER, no further repair/overhaul work on that item will be performed and the item in question will be placed in a bonded storage room for safekeeping until written authorization to proceed or other disposition instructions are received from the USCG Contracting Officer.
