S. COAST GUARD HU-25 OXYGEN MASK REPAIR/OVERHAUL, 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 EROS Full Face Quick Donning Oxygen Mask, P/N MF10-03-02, manufactured by GIE-EROS, Plaisir, France, was installed in these aircraft in 1991 and 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. 2.0 OBJECTIVE: 2.1. The Coast Guard’s objective is to obtain the services of the OEM or a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center to effectively repair and overhaul (as defined in paragraph 2) and provide complete, ready-to-install HU-25 oxygen masks. Repaired/overhauled oxygen masks must meet the OEM’s specifications and be In Accordance With (IAW) Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) 35-13-61, REV 2, dated 01/31/2003 and Coast Guard Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) HU-25 935030.0, dated 08/01/1992. The Coast Guard has placed all oxygen mask parts, with the exception of Regulator Assembly, P/N RMC 1007-4, on condition to be replaced as necessary. The Regulator Assembly, P/N RMC1007-4, requires overhaul every six (6) years. GIE-EROS, Plaisir, France is the OEM. The Coast Guard anticipates two (2) levels of repair. First, a repair is considered as test/inspect/return to service, as necessary. This work consists of inspection, failure analysis, defective part(s) replacement (i.e., Harness Assy., Microphone Assy., Hose Supply Assy., and Mask Assy.), if necessary, and testing to meet the OEM’s functional return to service requirements (component time continues). Secondly, an overhaul is considered over and above the repair scope and includes overhaul of the regulator assembly and the replacement of additional parts as necessary. An overhaul zeroes the Time Since Overhaul (TSO). In addition, OEM Dust Cover P/N 59447-00 to Hose Assembly P/N DTS series must be installed for both repair and overhaul. The offeror shall provide a cost breakdown for parts and labor. At a minimum, these two (2) levels of service should be addressed in the offeror’s technical and cost proposal. Offerors may propose additional levels of service. The prospective contractor is responsible for all necessary functions to perform the services requested. This includes, but is not limited to, required tooling, manuals, test equipment, parts, material, engineering services, management, maintenance, preservation, packaging, shipping, etc., to repair/overhaul the oxygen masks. The prospective contractor’s responsibilities to the Coast Guard ACMS consist of ensuring that the significant component history corresponds with the component, and that all OEM Service Bulletins and Coast Guard TCTOs 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 prospective contractor will develop, submit and monitor progress using agreed-to performance metrics and service level agreements. 2.2. Definitions 2.2.1. Level I Repair: Work consists of inspection, failure analysis, defective part(s) replacement (if necessary) and testing to meet the OEM’s functional return to service requirements. Repair does not zero the component time. 2.2.2. Level II Repair: Overhaul – considered over and above the Level I Repair scope and includes overhaul of the regulator assembly and the replacement of additional parts as necessary. Overhaul zeros the component Time Since Overhaul (TSO). 3.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: The following Technical Specifications are applicable: OEM Component Maintenance Manual: 3.1.1. CMM 35-13-61, REV 2, dated 01/31/2003 CG Technical Orders: 3.2.1. CG TCTO HU-25 935030.0, dated 08/01/1992 Data Availability: 3.3.1. OEM manuals, Service Bulletins and specifications are proprietary and cannot be provided by the United States Coast Guard. 3.3.2. Coast Guard specific CGTOs can be acquired through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Submit a written request to: Commanding Officer Attn: ARSC FOIA Officer United States Coast Guard Aircraft Repair & Supply Center Elizabeth City, NC 27909-5001 4.0 SERVICE BULLETINS All service bulletins if not previously accomplished, shall be identified to the Contracting Officer. The contractor is responsible for obtaining service bulletins. Upon receipt of an oxygen mask requiring incorporation of such service bulletins, the contractor shall prepare a firm-fixed-price proposal IAW instructions listed below. Service bulletins created and incorporated during performance of this requirement may create new part number configurations, which supercede the previous configuration. In cases where the old configuration cannot be modified to the new, the new part number shall be added to the contract, by written modification. The contractor shall notify and request disposition instructions from the Contracting Officer for superceded parts, which have been removed and replaced by new part number configurations. Upon receipt of notification from the Contracting Officer that a service bulletin is required, the Contractor shall submit, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the notification, a firm-fixed-price proposal for an incremental charge to be assessed each time the service bulletin is incorporated in a component. The proposal shall contain a breakdown of material and labor costs including hours, labor categories, labor rates, and applicable mark ups. The incremental charge agreed to for incorporation of a service bulletin shall apply only to those components into which the Contractor incorporates a required service bulletin, not those into which the service bulletin has been previously incorporated. Upon agreement of an incremental charge and issuance of a contract modification to reflect this change, the service bulletin shall be incorporated into each subsequent component received at the repair facility if said service bulletin has not already been incorporated. When service bulletin incorporation changes the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) part number, the new part number shall be added to the Contract, by written modification. The same procedures apply if removal of service bulletins is required. 5.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY: IAW FAR 45.505-2(b)(2), the following component to be repaired and the value of government property to be shipped under this contract is as follows: P/N MF10-03-02, Oxygen Mask, $6,240.64 each 6.0 GOVERNMENT PROPERTY FURNISHED FOR REPAIR: Failure of the Government to furnish such items in the amounts or quantities described in theSchedule of Supplies/Services an estimated” or “maximum” will not entitle the contractor to any equitable adjustment in price under the Government Property clause of the contract.

Award will be made utilizing the following factors, in descending order of importance. The Coast Guard intends to award one contract to the Contractor whose quote is identified as offering the best value solution. The Source Selection Team (SST) may determine the best value for the Coast Guard merits a higher price based on technical superiority. The SST, using sound business judgment, will base the selection decision on an integrated assessment of the proposal’s relative capability as measured against the below evaluation factors: Factor 1 – Technical Factor 2 – Performance Metrics Factor 3 – Past Performance Factor 4 – Cost/Price Technical factors 1 and 2 are equal in importance and significantly more important than factor 3. While the cost/price is an important part of the integrated selection decision, the non-price factors (1, 2 and 3) are significantly more important than the price factor. However, as technical proposal become substantially equal, price may be the determining factor in selecting a proposal for award. Any conversations with the present or former customers will be documented. Enclosure: (1) Detailed Factors Enclosure (1) DETAILED FACTORS 1. Technical Vendors detailed work statement. Evidence and ability to maintain a quality system acceptable to the Coast Guard. Repair must meet the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) form, fit and function specifications to ensure installation and operational characteristics are met. 2. Performance Measures and Metrics The performance measures and metrics will be evaluated for the extent they are comprehensive in their ability to quantify, measure, track, and report operational performance relating to both system and management performance as well achievement of Coast Guard objectives, identify the highest level of service consistent with cost effectiveness, and will be tied to performance incentives and disincentives that are directly related to meeting or exceeding mission critical performance metrics. 3. Past Performance Past Performance will consider documentation for having performed repair of similar or like items. Past performance will consider the opinions of existing and former customers during the past 2 years. The past performance factor will be based on adherence to ability to perform a successful repair, delivery schedule, willingness and ability of contractor to resolve problems. Great care needs to be exercised so that “past performance” information is considered under the appropriate heading and not confused with “technical”. 4. Price related factors Compare offered prices against the Government estimate and review each proposal for level of work offered based on number of labor hours, hourly rates and material costs to evaluate price reasonableness. Determine if the Incentive/Disincentive program offered is acceptable to the USCG. Evaluating what the program is to measure and how it is to be tracked and monitored.
