- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Register (FAR) Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This Request for Quotation (RFQ), (HSCG38-07-Q-101002) incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-13. This is an UNRESTRICTED PROCUREMENT. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 488190. The contract will be awarded using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 13.5. The contract will be awarded as a FIRM-FIXED-PRICE requirements contract. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to award to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center, with an on site paint facility, who is able to prepare and externally paint the HU-25 Dassault Falcon Jet aircraft in accordance with (IAW) commercial practices and the paint manufacturer?s recommended procedures. Contract award will be best value primarily linked to contractor?s submitted detailed work scope, facilities, quality system, past performance, process time and cost. USCG price evaluation will be based on the combination of the following two criteria: 1) contractor?s quote; 2) USCG travel cost and roundtrip aircraft ferry cost from Elizabeth city, NC. There is no intent to sacrifice quality for schedule. Performance award clauses are associated with and described within this RFQ. Paint of the following: CLIN 0001 ? Prime & Paint Services of HU-25 Aircraft, 3 each for each year of the base period, with 3 each for each year of the option period. CLIN 0002 ? Scuff, Prime & Paint Services of HU-25 Aircraft, 1 each anticipated in Calendar year 2009. (See schedule 3.1.1 Tentative Schedule) The contract will include a 3-year base period and one 2-year option period. The total duration of this contract shall not exceed five years. Estimated effective date for contract performance is 01 January 2007. The first year of the base period will be from 01 January 2007 (or award date whichever is later) through 31 December 2007. Each successive year of the base and option periods will run consecutively. VENDOR MUST SUBMIT PRICES FOR EACH YEAR OF THE BASE AND OPTION PERIODS IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD. All responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency. Sources shall have a valid Cage Code, Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number or the ability to obtain one, be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) (http://www.ccr.gov) and be registered in the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) (http://orca.bpn.gov) Interested parties may submit a quotation, which shall include a performance work statement, performance metrics, incentives and disincentives programs, identification of key personnel, quality certifications, past performance, subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-9 (or a request for waiver if no subcontracting opportunities), and a firm-fixed-price quote for the following: USCG HU-25 DASSAULT FALCON JET EXTERNAL AIRCRAFT PAINT, PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT 1.0 BACKGROUND: The USCG operates twenty Falcon HU-25 aircraft. Until recently these aircraft have been externally stripped and painted at the USCG?s Aircraft Repair and Supply Center (ARSC) following the completion of a required five year Programmed Depot Maintenance Inspection (PDM). Aircraft painted at ARSC experience paint adhesion discrepancies shortly after delivery to USCG operational units. Poor 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 current paint facility. In an effort to improve performance, reduce corrosion and field maintenance cost the USCG intends to establish a long term commercial paint contract for its fleet of HU-25 aircraft whose anticipated retirement date is 2015. This solicitation establishes the minimum external paint requirements. NOTES: A reduction in fleet size may occur by fiscal year 2008. All aircraft will be stripped by ARSC during PDM using corn starch blast media. The USCG is also in the process of procuring one type of paint system for all aircraft. The contractor must be able to adjust to the new system to be used. 2.0 OBJECTIVE: The USCG?s objective is to obtain the services of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center with an onsite paint facility. The contractor shall provide all services necessary to prepare and externally paint HU-25 aircraft in accordance with (IAW) best commercial practices, the paint manufacturer?s recommended procedures and the general scope work. Dassault Falcon Jet, Plaisir, France is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The general scope of work is as follows: 2.1 Pre-paint surface preparation IAW best commercial specifications. Contractor to identify specification in the quote. Note: Areas of the aircraft that is covered and inaccessible after assembly of the aircraft; such as flight control surface leading edges (flaps, slats, slat upper fixed boxes, ailerons, rudder, & elevators), horizontal/vertical stabilizer attachment points, box structures and cavities were painted during the interim paint phase of the PDM evolutions. Flight controls do not require removal. Previously painted areas shall be inspected for adhesion, scuff sanded and top coated to insure a color match. 2.2 Inspect seam sealants and reseal as necessary. Do not use hard permanent type fillers on faying joints, all removable inspection panel seams, wing root seams or wing tip caps. Use Polysulfide sealants meeting MIL-PRF-81733, AMS-S-8802 or PR-1422 2.3 Prime, paint and stencil the aircraft?s exterior surfaces IAW USCG ARSC Drawings 925-139 (HU-25 Paint and Detail Markings), Revision J, dated 11/16/06, 925-139-1 (HU-25 Paint Markings, Stencil and Decal package), Revision C, dated 07/10/06 and paint manufacturer?s recommended procedures. 2.4 Apply leading edge tape and appropriate radome boot IAW USCG ARSC Drawing 925-139, Revision J, dated 11/16/06 and manufacturer?s recommended procedures. 3.0 AIRCRAFT DELIVERY SCHEDULE: 3.1 For the purpose of this contract the schedule published here-in is tentative and subject to change due to mission requirements or reduction of the fleet. 3.1.1 Tentative Schedule: A/C Tail Number & Model Est.
