REPAIR SERVICES; SOLICITATION HSCG38-12-R-010006

1.0 000BACKGROUND

1.1 The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG/CG) currently operates thirteen HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft each powered by two CT7-9C3 turboprop engines. The aircraft are manufactured by AIRBUS MILITARY (formerly EADS CASA) in Seville, Spain and the CT7-9C3 turboprop engines are manufactured by General Electric, Aviation Division of Lynn, MA, USA, Original Equipment Manufacturer, (OEM). These aircraft including the engines are procured under the authority of the Coast Guard Aviation Program Management Office. While the base CASA CN-235-300M aircraft provides the foundation for the Coast Guard HC-144A, changes to base aircraft configuration and the addition of supplementary systems have been combined resulting in a CG01 version of the CN-235-300M. The end state for the fleet size is still under review but could include as many as 36 assets. The projected number of Coast Guard assets over the next five years includes up to twenty operational HC-144A aircraft with each averaging 1200 flight hours annually.

1.2 These Maritime Patrol Aircraft with the CT7-9C3, turboprop engines, are operated differently from general aviation in support of Coast Guard Search and Rescue missions, as well as Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions. USCG HC-144A missions require frequent operation at lower altitudes and in salt–laden environments. These environments accelerate corrosion on airframe structures, engines and components of the aircraft. The Aircraft, the engines, and its components are inspected by USCG personnel in accordance with (IAW) the Original Equipment Manufacturers’ periodic requirements and in conjunction with the USCG’s specialized Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS).

2.0 SCOPE

2.1 The scope of this SOO is intended to provide repair and modification services for 02 each General Electric CT7-9C3 turboprop engine power units, P/N 6058T83G01, NSN 2840-01-HS2-4327.

2.2 The contractor must track and document for USCG specialized ACMS and Significant Component History Reports (SCHR) the necessary calendar time, flight time, and appropriate flight cycle requirement for the CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and components which must be accomplished to maintain the integrity of any OEM high-time hourly intervals and life cycle limits.

2.3 Repair and modification of all CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and components, must be accomplished IAW the OEM specifications. This SOO establishes the minimum CG requirements necessary for repairs and modification of the engines, modules, and 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. CG configuration control requires that applicable Service Bulletins and modifications for all ACMS tracked engines, modules, and components not previously configured, shall not be incorporated without prior written approval from the CG Contracting Officer.

2.4 The Contractor must have access to, and ability to obtain, current OEM specifications for inspection and repairs of the CT7-9C3 engine and its components, including Component Maintenance Manuals (CMM), Revisions, Service Bulletins, Modifications, Amendments, and drawings as the USCG does not own, nor can it provide this data.

2.5 The Contractor must list, and provide a status of, all OEM CMMs, including Revisions, Service Bulletins, Modifications, Amendments, or other specifications applicable to the repairs and modification of Coast Guard CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and components.

2.6 The Contractor must be 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, maintenance, documentation, preservation, shipping, etc., to and modify CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and components in an efficient and timely manner.

3.0 OBJECTIVES

The engines and components must remain configured for installation on USCG HC-144A aircraft.

3.2 To award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract, based on the objectives and requirements of this SOO, and attached schedule of services.

3.3 To have both CT7-9C3 engine power units inspected, repaired, or modified IAW OEM repair specifications, and Component Maintenance Manuals, including Revisions, Service Bulletins, Modifications, and Amendments. See paragraph 3.9 for any configuration changes.

3.4 To have both CT7-9C3 engine power units repaired, or modified for return to service with FAA airworthiness Form 8130-3 or other FAA authorized airworthiness form attached.

3.5 To have both CT7-9C3 engine power units repaired or modified for return to service within 120 calendar days after receipt of material (ARM) at contractors repair facility. Earlier delivery is acceptable and desired.

3.6 To obtain and maintain a current list and status of all OEM Overhaul, Repair and Component Maintenance Manuals (CMM), including Revisions (Rev), Temporary Revisions (TR), Service Bulletins (SB), Modifications (MOD), Amendments (AMD) or other specifications applicable to the overhaul, repairs and modification of the Coast Guard CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and components.

3.7 To track and document calendar time, flight time, engine flight/life cycles, all work and services performed on CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and specific components as required under USCG ACMS. Tracking provides significant component historical records of component installations, removals, overhauls, repairs, and modifications including component transit, storage, status, and locations. ACMS tracking provides and an effective means of configuration control to maintain the integrity of OEM overhaul/high time hourly intervals including flight and life cycle limits as applicable to CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and components. For configuration control prior written approval of the CG Contracting Officer shall be obtained for any configuration changes to engines, modules and components. See paragraph 3.9 for specific information on the incorporation of Service Bulletins and modifications.

3.8 To obtain repair, and modification services for CG CT7-9C3 engines, modules, and components which include the complete teardown, inspection, rework, assembly, and testing of all identified schedule B, parts IAW OEM specifications. Definitions for various levels of repair and modification are contained in section 11.0 of this SOO.

3.9 To maintain all Service Bulletins and other modifications previously incorporated unless otherwise directed by the CG Contracting Officer.

3.9.1 Service bulletin configurations are subject to change during the course of the contract period. Service Bulletins and modifications not previously incorporated shall be identified for the Contracting Officer. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining and notifying the Contracting Officer of service bulletin changes and modifications, for disposition approval prior to incorporation of those changes and modifications.

3.9.2 Service bulletins incorporated during performance of this requirement may create new part number configurations, 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 Contracting Officer for superseded parts, which have been removed and replaced by newer configurations.

3.9.3 Upon receipt of notification and authorization from the Contracting Officer that a service bulletin or modification is to be incorporated, the Contractor shall submit, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of that notification, a Firm-Fixed-Price proposal for an incremental charge to be assessed each time the service bulletin is incorporated in a component. The proposal 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 service bulletin shall apply only to those components into which the Contractor incorporates a required service bulletin, and not those into which the service bulletin has been previously incorporated. Upon agreement of an incremental charge and issuance of a contract modification to reflect this change, the service bulletin shall be incorporated into each subsequent component received at the Contractor’s facility for which the service bulletin has not already been incorporated. When service bulletin incorporation changes the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) part number, the new part number shall be added to the contract. The same procedures apply if removal of service bulletins is required. Failure to supply a change notice shall forfeit the right to any increase as a result of the contractor’s failure to request additional funding. Unless the contractor has a signed contract modification permitting a change and bearing the signature of a Coast Guard Contracting Officer, funding has not been authorized and will not be authorized after the fact. Performance without written authority will not be authorized for payment.
