STATEMENT OF WORK 1.0 BACKROUND The U.S. Coast Guard currently operates thirteen (13) HC144A aircraft manufactured by EADS CASA North America Inc. and nine (9) HU25 aircraft manufactured by Dassault-Breguet Aviation SA-Avions Marcel. The HU25 aircraft fleet is scheduled for decommission in 2014 and will be replaced by HC144A aircraft. These aircraft are used differently from general aviation as HC144A and HU25 missions frequently operate in salt laden environments. The EROS Full Face Quick Donning Oxygen Mask P/N MF20-514 and Mask P/N MF10-03-02 are installed in HU25 and HC144A aircraft and are manufactured by INTERTECHNIQUE (the OEM), Plaisir, France. The Oxygen Mask Serial Number (S/N) is tracked under the Coast Guard Aviation Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS). This tracking system provides a history record of repair, overhaul, maintenance, item location and status. 2.0 OBJECTIVE 2.1 The U.S. Coast Guard objective is to obtain the services of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center to REPAIR and OVERHAUL HC144A and HU25 Oxygen Masks and provide complete Ready for Issue (RFI) condition components. 2.2 Repair and Overhaul of Oxygen Masks shall include the sub-assembly which includes Regulator Assemblies RMC Series, Dust Covers and Hoses. The U.S. Coast Guard has placed all Oxygen Mask parts on condition to be replaced as necessary with the exception of Regulator Assembly RMC Series. Regulator Assemblies require overhaul every six (6) years. The U. S. Coast Guard anticipates two (2) levels of service, Level I - REPAIR and Level II - OVERHAUL. The offeror may propose additional levels of repair, if any. The offeror is responsible for functions to perform the services requested. This includes, but not limited to, manuals, tools, fixtures, test equipment, materials, parts, engineering services, management, maintenance, preservation, packaging and shipping as necessary to Repair and Overhaul the HC144A and HU25 Oxygen Masks and sub-assemblies. In addition, Oxygen Mask sub-assembly Dust Cover P/N 59447-00 shall be installed on Hose P/N DTS Series for both Repair and Overhaul levels of service. The offerors responsibilities to U.S. Coast Guard consist of ensuring the significant component history corresponds with the component, and that all OEM Service Bulletins and U.S. Coast Guard TCTOs remain incorporated upon completion of work. 2.2.1 Level I - REPAIR: Is considered as test/inspect/return to service as necessary. This work consists on inspection, failure analysis, defective part(s) replacement if necessary, and test to meet the OEM functional return to service requirements. Repair does not zero the Time Since Overhaul (TSO), component time continues for Oxygen Masks repaired. 2.2.2 Level II - OVERHAUL: Is considered over and above Level I - Repair scope and will consist of complete teardown, inspection, rework, assembly, and testing of components to OEM original or overhaul specifications. Overhaul includes as required, the incorporation of applicable Service Bulletins, modifications, configuration changes, and the replacement parts as necessary to satisfy OEM restoration interval and life cycle limited requirements. This work will include Regulator Assembly RMC Series having reached the "High Time" OEM restoration interval of six (6) years. Overhaul zeros the component Time since Overhaul (TSO), effectively restarts restoration intervals and OEM component life cycle limits, if applicable. 2.3 The offeror shall have access to current Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Component Maintenance Manuals (CMM), revisions, Service Bulletins, modifications, amendments and drawings. The U.S. Coast Guard does not own, nor can it provide this data. 2.3.1 The offeror shall identify and provide a list of the current status of all OEM CMMs, revisions, Service Bulletins, modifications, amendments, and other specifications applicable to the Repair and Overhaul U.S. Coast Guard HC144A and HU25 Oxygen Masks and sub-assemblies. 2.4 All Repaired and Overhauled HC144A and HU25 Oxygen Masks shall be returned to service Ready for Issue (RFI) condition with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (COC). FAA Form 8130-3 is preferred. 3.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTATION 3.1 The following Technical Specifications are applicable for each type of Oxygen Mask: 3.1.1 HU-25 OEM Component Maintenance Manual (CMM): CMM 35-13-61, REV 8 (dated 12/01/2011) 3.1.2 HU-25 USCG TCTO: TCTO HU-25 935030.0 (dated 08/01/1992) 3.1.3 HC-144 OEM Component Maintenance Manual (CMM): 35-13-60, REV 10 (dated 12/06/2011) 3.2 Data Availability: 3.2.1 OEM manuals, Service Bulletins and specifications are proprietary and cannot be provided by the U.S. Coast Guard. 3.2.2 The U.S. Coast Guard specific TCTOs can be acquiered through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Submit a written request to: Commanding Officer Attn: ALC FOIA Officer United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center Elizabeth City, NC 27909 4.0 SERVICE BULLETINS All service bulletins if not previously accomplished, shall be identified to the Contracting Officer. The contractor is responsible for obtaining service bulletins. Upon receipt of an oxygen mask requiring incorporation of such service bulletins, the contractor shall prepare a firm-fixed-price proposal IAW instructions listed below. Service bulletins created and incorporated during performance of this requirement may create new part number configurations, which supersede the previous configuration. In cases where the old configuration cannot be modified to the new, the new part number shall be added to the contract, by written modification. The contractor shall notify and request disposition instructions from the Contracting Officer for superseded parts, which have been removed and replaced by new part number configurations. Upon receipt of notification from the Contracting Officer that a service bulletin is required, the Contractor shall submit, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the 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, 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 repair facility if said 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, by written modification. The same procedures apply if removal of service bulletins is required. 5.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY 5.1 P/N MF20-514, MASK OXYGEN-FULL FACE P/N MF10-03-02 MASK OXYGEN 5.2 BEYOND ECONOMICAL REPAIR (BER): In the event the contractor considers an item listed in the contract to be beyond economical repair, he shall contact the Contracting Officer, in writing, for disposition instructions. The notification shall identify the delivery order number, item number, part number, serial number, and the cost (including if requested, a breakdown of the price for parts and labor) necessary to repair the component. The contractor shall not proceed with the repair or return to Aviation Logistics Center until written instructions are received from the Contracting Officer. 5.3 ESTIMATED QUANTITY: Failure of the Government to furnish any of the line items in the amounts or quantities described as "estimated" or "maximum" will not entitle the contractor to any equitable adjustment in price. 6.0 DELIVERY SCHEDULE 6.1 The offerors shall propose a delivery schedule. The Government desires delivery for CLINs 0001, 0002, 0003 and 0004 within 120 days after receipt of material at the repair facility.

In lieu of submitting the full text of those provisions, the offeror may identify the provision by paragraph identifier and provide the appropriate information with its quotation or offer. Also, the full text of a solicitation provision may be accessed electronically at this/these address https://www.acquisition.gov/far. 52.252-2 Clauses Incorporated by Reference (FEB 1998) This contract incorporates one or more clauses by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. Also, the full text of a clause may be accessed electronically at this/these address https://www.acquisition.gov/far. 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (JAN 1999) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1 - Technical Capability Technical capability will be evaluated by contractor's submitted detailed work package and performance plan. Factor 2 - Past Performance and Delivery Contractor will be evaluated by customer ratings, including quality ratings, customer service, warranty, timeliness of acceptable deliveries and recommendation for future service and performance. Offerors shall provide the Government with a list of the Past Performance References. The Past Performance list shall contain: 1. Customer's name, address, and telephone number of both the lead contractual and technical personnel most familiar with the Offerors performance record. 2. Contract number, type, and total original and present or final contract value. 3. Date of contract, place(s) of performance, and delivery dates or period of performance 4. Brief description of contract work and comparability to the proposed effort. It is not sufficient to state that it is comparable in magnitude and scope. Rationale must be provided to demonstrate that it is comparable. Factor 3 - Price The U.S. Coast Guard may determine the best value that merits a higher price based on technical superiority. The U.S. Coast Guard, using sound business judgment, will base the selection decision on an integrated assessment of the proposal's relative capability as measured against the evaluation factors. Factors 1 and 2 are equal and are significantly more important than Factor 3. While the Price is an important part of the integrated selection decision, the non-Price Factors are significantly more important than the Price Factor. Price will become increasingly important as proposal evaluation ratings for technical factors and past performance factors approach equal. 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certification - Commercial Items (MAR 2012) ALT 1 (APR 2012) An offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at https://www.acquisition.gov.

The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the General Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the U.S. Coast Guard as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman. Informal forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific U.S. Coast Guard procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the contracting officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103. If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted to: Department of Homeland Security United States Coast Guard (CG-9131) Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests 1900 Half Street, SW, Room 11-0602 Washington, D. C. 20593-0001 FAX: 202.475.3904 The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.
