- Description
- SYNOPSIS: The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking information from any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 145 authorized repair centers or other equivalent sources that can effectively test, troubleshoot, clean, repair, modify, and overhaul Coast Guard HC-144A Main Landing Gear (MLG), Nose Landing Gear (NLG), shock absorbers, actuating cylinders, Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) components, as well as other associated assemblies, sub-assemblies, and components to current OEM configurations while maintaining any CG specific requirements for their return to service in a Ready For Issue (RFI) condition. BACKGROUND: The U.S. Coast Guard currently operates eight HC-144A aircraft. The HC-144A is manufactured by EADS CASA Aircraft in Seville, Spain and procured under the authority of the Coast Guard Aviation Program Management Office. The base CASA CN-235-300M provides the foundation for the HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft, changes to base aircraft configuration and the addition of supplementary systems have been combined resulting in a CG01 version of the CN-235-300M. 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 is up to twenty operational HC-144A aircraft with each averaging between 800 - 1200 flight hours annually. These aircraft are operated differently from general aviation in support the Coast Guard Search and Rescue (SAR) 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 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). USCG OBJECTIVES: To have all HC-144A MLG, NLG, NWS, sub-assemblies, and components, repaired, modified, and overhauled in accordance with (IAW) OEM specifications using current Repair, Overhaul, and Component Maintenance Manuals, including Revisions, Service Bulletins, Modifications, Amendments, and Specifications. To obtain and maintain a current list and status of all OEM Repair, Overhaul, and Component Maintenance Manuals, including Revisions, Temporary Revisions, Service Bulletins, Modifications, Amendments, or other specifications applicable to the repair, modification, or overhaul of the Coast Guard HC-144A MLG, NLG, NWS, sub-assemblies, and components.. To have all HC-144A MLG, NLG, NWS, sub-assemblies, and components, repaired/overhauled for returned to service with FAA Form 8130-3 or other FAA authorized airworthiness form attached. To track and document flight time, calendar time, flight cycles, landings, and all work performed on HC-144A MLG, NLG, NWS, sub-assemblies, and components undergoing repair, modification, or overhaul as required under USCG ACMS. This is accomplished via a Component Repair Records (CRR) which are 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 MLG and NLG assemblies and components. To obtain appropriate repair, modification, and overhaul service levels for Coast Guard HC-144A MLG, NLG, NWS, sub-assemblies, and components. The USCG anticipates multiple levels of services: Repairs, Modifications, and Overhauls, which must be addressed and include any additional levels of service, which may be proposed as such for the separate completion of modifications, incorporation of service bulletins, or the breakout of major components, etc. REPLIES: All interested parties should respond via Email to: Danny R. Sawyer, HC-144A Contract Specialist at <danny.r.sawyer@uscg.mil> or to CWO Kevin S. Barrick, HC-144A Tech Services, at< kevin.s.barrick@uscg.mil>.
