- Description
- This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought synopsis only. This is NOT a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to gain knowledge of commercially available products that may be of interest to the USCG. The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking information from any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 145 authorized manufacturers, distributors, or other equivalent potential sources for the purchase of new General Electric CT7-9C3 engines, P/N 6058T82G01CT7-9C3. These engines must be configured for installation on U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) HC-144A aircraft, including propeller gear box (PGB) P/N 5074T51G16 or 17 and HydroMechanical Unit (HMU) P/N 6068T72P25. This is the ONLY configuration allowable for installation on USCG HC-144A aircraft. These engines must be ready for installation (RFI) at the time of delivery. The USCG requires that distributors, or other potential sources be ASA-100 certified, or in compliance with other quality systems listed in FAA Advisory Circular 00-56A.. Only new items will be acceptable; reconditioned or used will NOT be acceptable. The USCG WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE DATA OR BLUEPRINT SPECIFICATIONS. The USCG will require necessary certifications including a FAA Form 8130-3 or EASA-1 Form. Background: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG/CG) currently operates thirteen HC-144A aircraft each powered by two CT7-9C3 turboprop engines. The end state for the fleet size is still under review but could include as many as 36 assets. The HC-144A aircraft is manufactured by EADS CASA based in Seville, Spain, the CT7-9C3 turboprop engines are manufactured by General Electric, Aviation Division (Cage Code 99207) based out of Lynn, MA, USA. The base CASA CN-235-300M provides the foundation for the USCG HC-144A aircraft and changes to base configuration and the addition of supplementary systems have been combined resulting in a CG01 version of the CN-235-300M aircraft. The USCG HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft and its CT7-9C3, turboprop engines, are operated differently from general aviation in support of such Coast Guard missions as: Search & Rescue, Surveillance, Logistic Support, and Law Enforcement Missions. These missions require frequent operation at lower altitudes and in salt-laden environments which accelerate corrosion on airframe structures, engines and other components. The aircraft, the engines and their components are inspected by USCG personnel in accordance with (IAW) the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) periodic requirements and in conjunction with the USCG's specialized Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS). Responses to this notice should include company name, address, telephone number, point of contact (POC), provide quality systems as requested above, and complete product details, brochures, etc., which will allow the USCG to understand your product, configurations and options. Also, state the approximate lead-time for acquiring your product. Please provide the details and terms of any standard warranty included with the product. Additionally, provide a response on whether the product has or has not been qualified for use in any DOD or Federal Government Aircraft. The Government believes the applicable NAICS code is 336412. Please reply to the following questions: (1) Is your business a large or small business and how many employees? (2) If small, does your firm qualify as a small, emergent business, or a small, disadvantaged business? (3) If disadvantaged, specify under which disadvantaged group and is your firm certified under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act? (4) Is your firm a certified hub zone firm? (5) Is your firm a woman-owned or operated business? (6) Is your firm a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned? (7) Is your product listed on a GSA schedule? (8) Do you have other government agencies using the product, and if so which agencies, POC's and contract numbers? (9) If possible, any POC's for civilian users for general usage of product questions. After the review of the responses to this sources sought announcement, and if the Government still plans to proceed with the acquisition, a solicitation announcement will be published in the FBO. Responses to this sources sought synopsis are not adequate response to any future solicitation announcement. All interested offerors will have to respond to the solicitation in addition to responding to this sources sought synopsis. Again, this is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. Responses to this sources sought notice shall be mailed to USCG, ALC, 1664 Weeksville Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909-5001, Attention: Tonya Bush MRS Product Line or e-mailed to Tonya.W.Bush@uscg.mil. TELEPHONE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Responses must be received no later than 14 May 2012 at 4:00 PM Eastern. Firms responding to this announcement that fail to provide all of the required information cannot be used to help the Government make the appropriate acquisition decisions which is the intent of this sources sought notice. This notice is to help the USCG in determining potential sources only. All firms responding to this sources sought notice are advised that their response to this notice is not a request to be considered for a contract award. All interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this announcement. Responses to this sources sought synopsis are NOT a request to be added to a prospective offerors list or to receive a copy of the solicitation.
