Each aircraft is equipped with two Honeywell ATF3-6 fan jet engines. Typical failure modes of ATF3-6 engine nose-cowlings are material cracks that propagate as a result of various environmental factors. Some of these include: vibration, corrosion, thermal fatigue and erosion. These failures occur primarily at the nose lip rivet lines. Past history shows that a complete or partial disassembly of the nose-cowling is necessary for thorough inspection and repair or replacement of damaged components. 2.0 OBJECTIVE: 2.1. The Coast Guard’s objective is to obtain services of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center to effectively repair and provide complete, ready-to-install HU-25 ATF3-6 nose-cowling assemblies. Repaired nose-cowlings must meet the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM’s) form, fit and function specifications to ensure installation and operational characteristics are met. The contractor shall replace the original aluminum nose lip PN 553-0169-1 with a nose lip manufactured from 321 stainless steel. The contractor shall assign new part number for nose lip. In addition, corrosion preventative measures shall be incorporated during the repair. The offeror is responsible for all necessary functions to perform services requested. This includes, but is not limited to required tooling, test equipment, parts, material, engineering services, management, maintenance, preservation, shipping, etc., to repair nose-cowlings. The offeror’s responsibilities to the Coast Guard consist of preparing and submitting a detailed work specification and cost breakdown structure for repair and ensure that all Coast Guard Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTOs) remain incorporated upon completion of work. Under a performance-based contract structure, performance metrics and service level agreements will be used to monitor the performance of this contract. The Coast Guard Aircraft Repair and Supply Center’s (ARSC) HU-25 Product Line and the selected offeror will baseline and monitor progress using agreed-to performance metrics and service level agreements. 2.2. To meet the Coast Guard’s objectives the offeror will be required to meet the following criteria: 2.2.1. Technical 2.2.1.1. Provide detailed work specifications for nose-cowling repair. 2.2.1.2.

Provide separate cost breakdowns for nose-cowling repair (labor categories & rates and parts). Replacement nose lip shall be priced separately. Vendor proposed cost breakdowns for different levels of repair will be accepted. Note 1: Exterior paint scheme for the engine nose-cowling consists of AKZO Primer -P/N 10P20-13 and US Paint topcoat K8080. Note 2: Temporary repairs are not permissible repairs for the purpose of this contract e.g., stop drilling of cracks and external doublers. Note 3: Note: Modifications or acceptable alternatives must be approved in writing by the U.S. Coast Guard’s HU-25 Engineering Cell at ARSC. 2.2.2. Past Performance 2.2.2.1.

THE COAST GUARD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO PERFORM A SITE SURVEY OF THE CONTRACTOR’S AND SUB-CONTRACTOR’S CAPABILITIES The following Federal Acquisition Regulation and Homeland Security Acquisition Regulations, Provisions and Clauses apply: FAR 52.212-1 Instructions To Offerors Commercial Items (Jan 2004) FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Items (Jan 1999) Award will be made utilizing the following factors, in descending order of importance. The Coast Guard intends to award one contract to the Contractor whose quote is identified as offering the best value solution. § The Source Selection Team (SST) may determine the best value for the Coast Guard merits a higher price based on technical superiority. The SST, using sound business judgment, will base the selection decision on an integrated assessment of the proposal’s relative capability as measured against the below evaluation factors: o Factor 1 –Technical/Management Solution/Approach o Factor 2 – Performance Measures and Metrics o Factor 3 – Past Performance o Factor 4 – Cost/Price Factor 1 and Factor 2 are equal and each is significantly more important than Factor 3. While the Cost/Price is an important part of the integrated selection decision, the non-Cost/Price factors are significantly more important than the Cost/Price factor. Cost/price will become increasingly important as proposal evaluation ratings for technical factors approach equal. Enclosure: (1) Detailed Factors DETAILED FACTORS Factor 1: Technical Management/Solution/Approach The technical/management solution/approach will be evaluated for its quality and evidence of extent to which Offeror’s solutions will achieve Coast Guard objectives of Nose Cowling (repair). The evaluation will include an assessment that the solution adheres to sound engineering, design and management practices and that the offeror has a complete understanding of the objectives, constraints and is customer focused. Evidence of the quality of the technical management/solution/approach includes: (a) A comprehensive performance work statement and contract breakdown structure that identifies the services to be delivered to meet the program and mission requirements set forth in the statement of objectives. (b) A sound technical proposal that clearly demonstrates how implementation of the proposed solutions will deliver timely, stable, reliable, secure, flexible, responsive, compliant and cost effective services. (c) A sound partnering approach to management that demonstrates the ability to aggressively identify and apply information technology solutions to business processes. The management approach needs to provide: § Highly qualified and experienced key personnel with a proven track record of success in providing large enterprise-wide managed services under performance based arrangements. § Clear lines of communication between the Contractor’s team and the Coast Guard for timely problem identification, mitigation and resolution. § Active and continuing participation and involvement of senior corporate executives in ensuring the success of this program. (d) The Offeror’s validated process and procedures that ensure high quality performance, e.g., ISO 9000 type or other quality certifications. Encl: (1) Factor 2: Performance Measures and Metrics The offered performance metrics and service level agreements will be evaluated for the extent they are: (a) Comprehensive in their ability to quantify, measure, track, and report operational performance relating to both system and management performance as well as achievement of Coast Guard objectives, (b) Identifying the highest level of service consistent with cost effectiveness, (c) Tied to performance incentives and disincentives that are directly related to meeting or exceeding mission critical performance metrics. Factor 3: Past Performance The past performance evaluation will examine how the Offeror’s past and present performance validates expected performance and customer satisfaction. The Coast Guard may use data obtained from other sources to conduct the past performance assessment, as well as that provided in the proposal. The past performance evaluation will also examine the Offeror’s actual performance on repair/overhaul of similar or like items. This review will focus on the scope and complexity of the efforts, the performance measures/service levels applied, and the actual results achieved against those measures. Factor 4: Cost/Price Each Offeror’s cost/price quote will be evaluated based on the following: (a) Evaluation or proposed price/cost. Offeror’s quote shall include a firm-fixed-price for each of the one-year ordering periods contained in the 3-year base & the 2-year option. Note the requirement under technical 2.2.1.5 to price the nose lip separately. This shall also be done for each of the base and option year periods. (b) Reasonableness: Reasonableness will be established by the existence of adequate price competition and by comparing all, or a representative sample of the proposed prices/costs to industry average rates and/or rates from other contracts for similar work, etc. (c) Realism: A realism assessment will be accomplished by technical review and evaluation of the skill mix, specific hours, and material kinds and quantity for each identified CLIN/SubCLIN in the Contractor’s proposed cost/price proposal. The intent of the evaluation is to determine whether the estimated proposed price/cost elements are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements; and are consistent with the approach described in the Contractor’s technical proposal.
