Description
BACKGROUND: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) currently operates four HC-144A aircraft. The HC-144A is manufactured by EADS CASA in Seville, Spain and procured under the authority of the aviation program management office USCG Commandant (CG-931) through the USCG Integrated Deepwater System acquisition program. The base CASA CN-235M aircraft provides the foundation for the HC-144A, changes to base aircraft configuration and the addition of supplementary systems have been combined resulting in a CG01 version of the CN-235M, the USCG HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft. End state for the fleet size is still under review but could include as many as 36 assets. The projected average flight hours for the HC-144A operational aircraft are 800 – 1,000 hours annually. The following is a projected number of operational USCG aircraft for the next five-year period: Fiscal YearFY 2009FY 2010FY 2011FY 2012FY 2013 Projected No. of Aircraft0507121416 These aircraft are operated in support the Coast Guard Search and Rescue (SAR) missions, as well as surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, which is differently from general aviation. USCG HC-144A missions require frequent operation at lower altitudes and in salt–laden environments. This environment accelerates corrosion on airframe structures and components of the aircraft. The Aircraft and its components are inspected by USCG personnel in accordance with (IAW) the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) periodic requirements and in conjunction with the USCG’s specialized Aircraft Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS). SYNOPSIS: The U.S. Coast Guard (CG) is seeking information from potential sources that can provide repair services for the Coast Guard HC-144A Command, Control, Communications, Computers Sensor Acquisition System (C4SAS) components. The USCG’s objectives are: To obtain services of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 145 authorized repair center or equivalent to effectively test, troubleshoot, clean, repair, and/or modify C4SAS components to the most current configuration and have them returned to service for CG operational use, in Ready For Issue (RFI) condition. To have all HC-144A C4SAS components, repaired/overhauled for returned to service with FAA Form 8130-3, other FAA authorized airworthiness form, or Certificate of Conformance attached. To have all HC-144A C4SAS components, repaired/overhauled to meet OEM’s specifications IAW the OEM’s Component Maintenance Manuals, Service Bulletins, Modifications, and Specifications. (The USCG cannot provide any of these data or documents to potential sources.) To track and document flight time, calendar time, flight cycles, landings, and all work performed on HC-144A C4SAS components undergoing repair/overhaul as required under USCG ACMS. This is accomplished via a Component Repair Record (CRR) which is used by the CG to update the Significant Component History Reports (SCHR) and to maintain the integrity OEM restoration intervals and life cycle limits as applicable to the HC-144A C4SAS. To obtain and observe at least two levels of repair services for HC-144A C4SAS components. The USCG anticipates at least two levels of service and contractors may propose additional levels, as such for separate incorporation of service bulletins, completion of modifications, the breakout of major components, etc. At a minimum, these two levels of service, “Minor Repair,” and “Major Repair,” must be addressed. REPLIES: All interested parties should respond in writing to John Sugimoto, HC-144A Division, c/o Commanding Officer (144), USCG Aircraft Repair and Supply Center, Elizabeth City, NC 27909, phone: 252-384-7305, FAX: 252-384-7309, e-mail address (John.T.Sugimoto@uscg.mil).
