The HU-25D uses the Telephonics APS143 Radar System. These aircraft are used in surveillance missions that are performed mainly over water with aircraft and communication system components being exposed to salt-laden environments. Line Replaceable Units (LRU?s) contained within each system are serial number tracked under the Coast Guard?s Aviation Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS). This tracking provides, but is not limited to: an individual LRU historical record of repair and/or overhaul; tracking of component time (time since new (TSN)/time in service (TIS), time since overhaul (TSO), and mean time between failure (MTBF); component status; and physical location. OBJECTIVE The Coast Guard?s objective is to obtain services of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center, or equivalent, to effectively repair/overhaul and provide complete, ready-to-install HU-25 LRU?s. Repaired/overhauled LRU?s must meet the OEM current specifications and must perform at the system level. Each LRU when installed shall be required to operate/interact with the other LRU?s within the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and Over the Horizon Airborne Sensor Information System (OASIS) without need of adjustment or degradation of system operation. The system is also comprised of many subcomponents that provide video and power distribution to operate these LRU?s. The offeror is responsible for all necessary functions to perform services requested. This includes, but is not limited to: trained personnel, required tooling, calibrated test equipment, FAA and/or OEM approved replacement parts, publications and documents pertaining to the LRU, preservation and shipping. The offeror?s responsibilities to Coast Guard ACMS consist of ensuring that the significant component history corresponds with the component, and that all OEM service bulletins 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 chosen offeror will baseline and monitor progress using agreed-to performance metrics and service level agreements. To meet the Coast Guard?s objectives, the offeror will be required to meet the following criteria: 1. Technical: a. Provide detailed work specifications for baseline repair of LRU?s. b. Provide a written Performance Metrics plan. c. Provide evidence of an ability to maintain a Quality System acceptable to the Coast Guard. d. Possess or show ability to obtain adequate technical data, tooling, and fixtures to meet the OEM current specifications. e. Provide an incentive proposal. f. Provide repercussions for failure to meet Turn-Around-Time (TAT). 2. Past Performance: a. Provide documentation for having performed repair/overhaul of similar or like items. b. Provide points of contact for past performance documentation for the past two years. Include reference?s name, company, phone number, and e-mail address. 3. Pricing: Provide a firm-fixed price for repair of the part numbers listed above for ALL years including both Level I and Level II Repairs. 4. Definitions: a. Turn around Time (TAT): Turn around time is defined as the time item is received at vendor?s facility until item is returned to ARSC or designated Air Station. b. Premature Failures: Premature failures are identified as those failures which occur during testing prior to installation or within the first 250 hours of operation. Note: Premature failures found to be ?No Fault Found? will not be considered in the premature failure penalty clause. c. Level I Repair: Test/inspect/repair as necessary. This work consists of inspection, failure analysis, defective part(s) replacement if necessary, and testing to meet the OEM?s functional return to service requirements. d. Level II Repair: Over and above a Level I Repair for units showing excessive degradation. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The following Technical Specifications are applicable: 1. OEM current repair and maintenance support documentation. 2. OEM Service Bulletins (SB-) DATA AVAILABILITY The Coast Guard does not possess and cannot provide OEM Service Bulletins and specifications.

Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 4200.14, NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS, is attached. Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 4200.14 Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 4200.14 NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS It is the policy of the Coast Guard to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. 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 Accounting Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the 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 that a 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 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 at FAR 33.103(d)(2). 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 refiling 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 forwarded to the address below: Commandant (G-CPM-S/3) 2100 2nd Street, SW, Room 2606 Washington, D. C. 20593 Telephone (202) 267-2285 Fax: (202) 267-4011
