S. COAST GUARD HU-25 AUXILIARY POWER UNIT REPAIR, STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES 1.0 BACKGROUND: The U.S. Coast Guard currently operates twenty (20) HU-25 aircraft manufactured between 1982 and 1984 by Dassault Aviation, previously, Dassault-Breguet Aviation SA-Avions Marcel. These aircraft are used differently from general aviation as HU-25 missions frequently operate in salt laden environments. The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) model GTCP36-100C is a gas turbine engine, which is essentially a self-contained power source providing pneumatic and rotational shaft power. The APU provides AC/DC electrical power for the HU-25 aircraft systems prior to engine start or during selected emergency procedures. It also provides a pneumatic source for the operation of environmental systems during ground operations. APU’s and their subcomponents are serial number tracked under the Coast Guard’s Aviation Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS). This tracking provides a historical record of repair, overhaul, maintenance, and item location and status. It also provides an effective method of configuration control. History has shown the APU to be highly reliable, with the exception of internal oil seals leaking oil in to the gas path. Otherwise, little more is required than scheduled maintenance and inspections. The APU requires Major Periodic Inspection (MPI) following: 2700 airframe operating hours, Foreign Object Damage (FOD), internal oil leaks, or mechanical failure beyond the scope of normal line maintenance. 2.0 OBJECTIVE: 2.1. The Coast Guard’s objective is to obtain the services of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center to repair and provide complete, ready-to-install GTCP36-100C APU’s for the HU-25 that are certified for flight with an FAA 8130-3 Flight Worthiness document. Repaired APU’s must conform to OEM’s specifications, drawings, Service Bulletins, and performance requirements as set forth in the OEM technical specifications. Honeywell International Defense and Space, 1300 West Warner Road, Tempe, AZ 85285-2200 is the OEM. The offeror is responsible for all necessary functions to perform the services requested. This includes, but is not limited to, required tooling, test equipment, parts, material, engineering services, management, maintenance, serviceable and non-serviceable parts storage, preservation, packaging, shipping, etc, to repair the GTCP36-100C APU’s. Packaging and preservation shall be In accordance With (IAW) maintenance manual GTCP36-100C chapter 49-20-00, Engine Servicing, step 2, dated 03 Sept. 1985. The offeror’s responsibilities to the Coast Guard Aircraft Computer Maintenance System (ACMS) consist of ensuring that the significant component history corresponds with the component. Configuration of the APU must be maintained by ensuring that all OEM Service Bulletins remain incorporated. 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 (ARSC) HU-25 Product Line and the winning offeror will baseline and monitor progress using agreed-to performance metrics and service level agreements. 2.2. To meet the Coast Guard’s objectives the offeror will be required to meet the following criteria: 2.2.1.

While the Cost/Price is an important part of the integrated selection decision, the non-Cost/Price Factors are significantly more important than the Cost/Price factor. Cost/Price will become increasingly important as proposal evaluation ratings for technical factors approach equal. Enclosure: (1) Detailed Factors Enclosure (1) DETAILED FACTORS Factor 1: Technical Management/Solution/Approach The technical/management solution/approach will be evaluated for its quality and evidence of extent to which Offeror’s solutions will achieve Coast Guard objectives of auxiliary power unit (APU) and component part refurbishment (repair). The evaluation will include an assessment that the solution adheres to sound engineering, design and management practices and that the Offeror has a complete understanding of the objectives, constraints and is customer focused. Evidence of the quality of the technical management/solution/approach includes: (a) A comprehensive performance work statement and contract breakdown structure that identifies the services to be delivered to meet the program and mission requirements set forth in the statement of objectives. (b) A sound technical proposal that clearly demonstrates how implementation of the proposed solutions will deliver timely, stable, reliable, secure, flexible, responsive, compliant and cost effective services. (c) A sound partnering approach to management that demonstrates the ability to aggressively identify and apply information technology solutions to business processes. The management approach needs to provide: § Highly qualified and experienced key personnel with a proven track record of success in providing large enterprise-wide managed services under performance based arrangements. § Clear lines of communication between the Contractor’s team and the Coast Guard for timely problem identification, mitigation and resolution. § Active and continuing participation and involvement of senior corporate executives in ensuring the success of this program. (d) The Offeror’s validated process and procedures that ensure high quality performance, e.g., ISO 9000 type or other quality certifications, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) required service bulletins, FAA 8130-3 Flight Worthiness document. Factor 2: Performance Measures and Metrics The offered performance metrics and service level agreements will be evaluated for the extent they are: (a) Comprehensive in their ability to quantify, measure, track, and report operational performance relating to both system and management performance as well as achievement of Coast Guard objectives, (b) Identifying the highest level of service consistent with cost effectiveness, (c) Tied to performance incentives and disincentives that are directly related to meeting or exceeding mission critical performance metrics. Factor 3: Past Performance The past performance evaluation will examine how the Offeror’s past and present performance validates expected performance and customer satisfaction. The Coast Guard may use data obtained from other sources to conduct the past performance assessment, as well as that provided in the proposal. The past performance evaluation will also examine the Offeror’s actual performance on repair of similar or like items. This review will focus on the scope and complexity of the efforts, the performance measures/service levels applied, and the actual results achieved against those measures. Factor 4: Cost/Price Each Contractor’s cost/price proposal will be evaluated based on the following: (a) Evaluation or proposed price/cost. Offeror’s quote shall include a firm-fixed-price for each of the one-year ordering periods contained in the 3-year base and the 2-year option. (b) Reasonableness: Reasonableness will be established by the existence of adequate price competition and by comparing all, or a representative sample of the proposed prices/costs to industry average rates and/or rates from other contracts for similar work, etc. (c) Realism: A realism assessment will be accomplished by technical review and evaluation of the skill mix, specific hours, and material kinds and quantity for each identified CLIN/SubCLIN in the Contractor’s proposed cost/price proposal. The intent of the evaluation is to determine whether the estimated proposed price/cost elements are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements; and are consistent with the approach described in the Contractor’s technical proposal. The price proposal should include sufficient detail to allow for complete evaluation, e.g. work breakdown, structure, material description, prices, labor categories, rates and hours.
