The contract is to paint one HU-25 Dassault Falcon Jet IAW commercial practices and the paint manufacturer?s recommended procedures. Estimated effective date for contract performance is 19 April 2006. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. Sources should have a valid Cage Code and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number or the ability to obtain one, and also be registered the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Interested parties may submit a quotation, which shall include a performance work statement, identification of key personnel, quality certifications, and past performance. Interested parties are also invited and encouraged to submit an incentives and disincentives plan for the following: U. S. COAST GUARD HU-25 DASSAULT FALCON JET PAINT, PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT 1.0 BACKGROUND: The US Coast Guard (USCG) operates twenty Falcon HU-25 aircraft. Currently these aircraft are being externally stripped and painted at the Coast Guard?s Aircraft Repair and Supply Center following the completion of a required five year Programmed Depot Maintenance Inspection (PDM). These aircraft have recently been experiencing paint adhesion discrepancies shortly after delivery to USCG operational units. Paint adhesion contributes to increased field level maintenance and aircraft corrosion if left untreated. These discrepancies can be attributed to the limited environmental controls of the paint facility. In an effort to improve performance, reduce corrosion and field maintenance cost the Coast Guard intends to have one of its HU-25 aircraft commercially painted, for field evaluation. This RFQ establishes the minimum external paint requirements for this aircraft. . 2.0 OBJECTIVE: The Coast Guard?s objective is to obtain the services of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized service center with an onsite paint facility to prepare and externally paint one HU-25 aircraft in accordance with (IAW) commercial practices and the paint manufacturer?s recommended procedures. Dassault Falcon Jet, Plaisir, France is the OEM. The general scope of work is as follows: 2.1 Pre-paint surface preparation IAW commercial specifications. Contractor to identify specifications in the quote. Note: Some areas of the aircraft are covered after assembly of the aircraft. These areas were painted during the interim paint phase of the PDM evolution and will require scuff sanding and feathering so the contractor applied coatings will blend in with USCG coatings previously applied during interim paint as required. Examples: Flight control surface leading edges, horizontal/vertical stabilizer attachment points, box structures and cavities. Color match is critical for this contract and future aircraft maintenance (see Attachment 2). Attachment 2 lists coatings that are currently used by the USCG and are known to provide satisfactory results on USCG aircraft operating in a corrosive environment when properly applied. 2.2 Prime, paint and stencil the aircraft?s exterior surfaces IAW ARSC drawing 925-139, using Stencil/Decal Kit 925-139-1 and the paint manufactures recommended procedures. 2.3 Apply leading edge tape and radome boot IAW ARSC Drawing 925-139. 3.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Contractor shall : 3.1.1 Be a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized service center with an onsite paint facility. 3.1.2 Provide a detailed written work scope. 3.1.3 Have experience in applying high solid, Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) compliant chromated primers and high solid polyurethane gloss topcoats to high speed aircraft and will be responsible for a high level of professionalism and workmanship.

Primer is not to exceed 2.9 lbs per mixed gallon, and topcoats shall not exceed 3.5 lbs per mixed gallon. 3.1.4 Adhere and conduct business in compliance with all Federal, State and Local Laws governing this type of work. 3.1.5 The contractor shall dispose of all waste materials generated. 3.1.6 Supply all labor, equipment, facilities, masking materials, pre-paint solutions, primer, topcoats, and leading edge tape (3M P/N SJ-8591 or equal) to complete the aircraft painting requirements as stated herein. 3.1.7 All painting shall be completed in an enclosed hangar with a dedicated space to accommodate the aircraft including separate protocols for temperature, humidity, ventilation, lighting and atmospheric particle controls for the paint to cure IAW the paint manufacturer?s instructions. 3.1.8 Provide access to perform a pre-award site visit and inspection of the actual facility (Subcontractor?s facility if applicable) the work is to be performed. 3.1.9 Perform an incoming inspection of the aircraft. 3.1.10 Scuff sand and feather all previously painted surface so contractor applied coatings will blend in with USCG coatings previously applied during interim paint as required. 3.1.11 Prepare the aircraft?s external surface for paint IAW best commercial practices. Vendor?s planned treatment of aircraft skin and surface corrosion to be described in their work proposal. Note: The USCG currently performs a thorough solvent and alkaline detergent cleaning, deoxidization with an approved acid brightener, and the application of an alodine conversion coating. Water break free inspections are performed to insure the surface is clean at each rinse step. 3.1.12 Paint and stencil the aircraft with a matched high solid chromated epoxy primer and high solid gloss topcoat system IAW the paint manufacture?s recommended procedures, ARSC HU-25 Paint Drawing 925-139 and current product/color spreadsheet (Attachment 2*). Attachment 2 lists coatings that are currently used by the USCG and are known to provide satisfactory results on USCG aircraft operating in a corrosive environment when properly applied. Aviation coatings which meet or exceed the performance of these materials may be substituted. If other commercial coatings are suggested, the contractor shall provide paint specifications and sample color chip with their quote. At a minimum the aircraft shall be primed with a high solid chromated epoxy primer and high solid polyurethane topcoat, however the contractor may quote on other systems (e.g. epoxy primer, filler primer & topcoat). * Due to space limitations in FedBizOpps, Attachment 2 must be requested.
