Section 835 of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395, prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from entering into any contract with a foreign incorporated entity which is treated as an inverted domestic corporation as defined in this clause, or with any subsidiary of such an entity. The Secretary shall waive the prohibition with respect to any specific contract if the Secretary determines that the waiver is required in the interest of national security. (b) Definitions. As used in this clause: Expanded Affiliated Group means an affiliated group as defined in section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (without regard to section 1504(b) of such Code), except that section 1504 of such Code shall be applied by substituting `more than 50 percent' for at least 80 percent each place it appears. Foreign Incorporated Entity means any entity which is, or but for subsection (b) of section 835 of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395, would be, treated as a foreign corporation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Inverted Domestic Corporation. A foreign incorporated entity shall be treated as an inverted domestic corporation if, pursuant to a plan (or a series of related transactions)— (1) The entity completes the direct or indirect acquisition of substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a domestic corporation or substantially all of the properties constituting a trade or business of a domestic partnership; (2) After the acquisition at least 80 percent of the stock (by vote or value) of the entity is held— (i) In the case of an acquisition with respect to a domestic corporation, by former shareholders of the domestic corporation by reason of holding stock in the domestic corporation; or (ii) In the case of an acquisition with respect to a domestic partnership, by former partners of the domestic partnership by reason of holding a capital or profits interest in the domestic partnership; and (3) The expanded affiliated group which after the acquisition includes the entity does not have substantial business activities in the foreign country in which or under the law of which the entity is created or organized when compared to the total business activities of such expanded affiliated group. Person, domestic, and foreign have the meanings given such terms by paragraphs (1), (4), and (5) of section 7701(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, respectively. (c) Special rules. The following definitions and special rules shall apply when determining whether a foreign incorporated entity should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation. (1) Certain Stock Disregarded. For the purpose of treating a foreign incorporated entity as an inverted domestic corporation these shall not be taken into account in determining ownership: (i) Stock held by members of the expanded affiliated group which includes the foreign incorporated entity; or (ii) stock of such entity which is sold in a public offering related to the acquisition described in subsection (b)(1) of Section 835 of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395(b)(1). (2) Plan Deemed In Certain Cases. If a foreign incorporated entity acquires directly or indirectly substantially all of the properties of a domestic corporation or partnership during the 4-year period beginning on the date which is 2 years before the ownership requirements of subsection (b)(2) are met, such actions shall be treated as pursuant to a plan. (3) Certain Transfers Disregarded. The transfer of properties or liabilities (including by contribution or distribution) shall be disregarded if such transfers are part of a plan a principal purpose of which is to avoid the purposes of this section. (d) Special Rule for Related Partnerships.

(1) Certain rights shall be treated as stocks to the extent necessary to reflect the present value of all equitable interests incident to the transaction, as follows: (i) warrants; (ii) options; (iii) contracts to acquire stock; (iv) convertible debt instruments; and (v) others similar interests. (2) Rights labeled as stocks shall not be treated as stocks whenever it is deemed appropriate to do so to reflect the present value of the transaction or to disregard transactions whose recognition would defeat the purpose of Section 835.

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) requires the Overhaul of the Oxygen Regulator listed in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. These Overhauls will include all necessary repairs in order to make Oxygen Regulators Ready for Issue on the USCG’s HC130 aircraft. The contractor shall be either an FAA approved overhaul facility, OEM Certified facility or Air Force Certified facility. All work shall be performed in accordance with the Air Force Technical Orders (TO), latest revision for the following components: Oxygen Regulator P/N: 9010A2 NSN: 1660-00-782-4697 AFTO 15X6-4-3-4 (15 Apr 2006 Chg 4-15 Dec 2012) This is the latest known version of this Air Force TO. The USCG cannot release the Air Force TOs to perspective vendors. Contact applicable LRS Procurement Specialist for more information regarding release of the Air Force TOs. The USCG will ship fourteen (14) oxygen regulators to the contractor’s facility to be overhauled and to include repairs as needed to make the Oxygen Regulators Ready for Issue at the Firm Fixed Prices established in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. 2.0 Requirement The contractor shall provide all parts, labor, tooling, test equipment and facilities necessary to complete the overhaul process as defined by the applicable TO. Examples of work that can be expected during the overhaul process should include: complete teardown, evaluation, removal of paint, cleaning, inspection (both visual and technical inspection), non-destructive inspection, repainting, testing, and replacement of missing consumable parts. The contractor shall also perform any required repairs as define by the applicable TO and replace conditional parts that fail inspection in accordance with the applicable TO, thereby insuring the items listed in the Schedule of Supplies/Services are returned to a serviceable condition. The contractor should factor in all overhaul and repair efforts necessary to return the items listed in the Schedule of Supplies/Services to a Ready for Issue condition in their firm-fixed prices established at time of award. 2.1 Corrosion Inspection USCG aircraft operate primarily around salt water, at low altitude, and are subject to corrosion. Corrosion should be expected on USCG components and does not constitute unusual damage. Should corrosion be found during initial inspection and functional testing, disassembly shall be made to the extent necessary to remove all corrosion or replace the part or parts affected. Corroded parts shall be replaced, except in those cases where removal of corrosion from parts will not impair efficiency or safe operation of the part. Corrosion removal and treatment of affected areas shall be accomplished in accordance with the Air Force TO or best commercial practices if not addressed by the Air Force TO. 2.2 Removal and Treatment Corrosion removal and treatment of affected areas shall be accomplished in accordance with the TO specifications, or shall meet the Contracting Officer’s approval when specifications do not exist or are not clear. 3.0 Serviceable Parts and Replacement Parts Parts of a component found to be in a serviceable condition as a result of inspection and functional testing shall be reused. Missing parts or parts found to be defective shall be replaced with new parts that meet the OEM or TO current specifications and drawings. Only new replacement parts, traceable to the OEM, are acceptable for use for this requirement. 4.5 Beyond Economic Repair (BER): If an Oxygen Regulator cannot be repaired in accordance with the AFTO and is found to be BER, the replacement cost of Oxygen Regulator will not be borne by the contactor. The USCG may elect to provide the replacement part as a Government Furnished Part. The vendor shall notify the USCG Contract Office POC for direction in these instances. 5.0 UNUSUAL DAMAGE 5.1 General The USCG intends that ALL components specified in the Schedule of Supplies and Services will be returned from overhaul within the firm-fixed prices established in the resulting contract. However, the firm-fixed price established at award does not include components that are severely damaged due to obvious abuse/misuse, crash damage or cannibalization. Only components meeting one or more of these criteria may be considered as unusually damaged. All other components shall be overhauled in accordance with the firm-fixed prices accepted at contract award. 5.2 Unusual Damage Reporting Requirements When a component is processed for unusual damage evaluation, the contractor shall within 15 calendar days of receipt of the item, submit an inspection condition report explaining the rationale for the pricing exclusion, including photographic evidence as necessary. The report shall also include a price proposal, covering all parts for needed to return the unit to serviceable condition that meets all applicable OEM or TO specifications. The report shall contain the purchase order number, line item number, national stock number (NSN), part number (P/N), nomenclature, and serial number of the component, a listing of the material required, the time needed to complete the work, and a cost breakdown including the cost of each required part and the number of labor hours. The hourly labor rate will be charged at the firm-fixed composite hourly labor rate contained in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. The contractor’s delivery obligation shall stop from the date of notification that an item has been determined to be a candidate for “Unusual Damage Evaluation.” The delivery obligation will be specified in the purchase order modification and will apply only to those items specifically addressed by the modification. The contractor is obligated to deliver all other components not individually addressed by the modification under the original delivery date specified on the purchase order. The report shall not include the work involved in the teardown and inspection, which will have already occurred, as this is covered by the firm-fixed price specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. Within 30 calendar days, the Contracting Officer shall either initiate negotiations for a firm-fixed price with the contractor or deny authorization for the work based on information in the report and any other information which may be available. Upon mutual agreement as to price and delivery, a modification will be issued with the agreed upon terms. If work is not desired, the Contracting Officer will provide the contractor with disposition instructions for the item in question. In the event an item is returned to the Government in a disassembled condition, the contractor shall be entitled only to appropriate compensation for inspection as specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. 5.3 Cannibalized Units Firm-fixed prices proposed in the Schedule of Supplies/Services shall not include repairable parts which have been cannibalized from the unit being overhauled. These components shall be evaluated at the firm-fixed-price evaluation fee specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. In the event any of the components listed in the Schedule of Supplies/Services are received in a condition that represents cannibalization, immediate notification to the Contracting Officer is required. This notification shall include a detailed description of the noted deficiencies and shall reference the purchase order number, national stock number, part number, and serial number and is subject to the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Items covered in the contract that are received missing consumable components are not considered to be cannibalized. 5.4 Service Bulletins, Modifications and/or Engineering Change Proposals The Contracting Officer will notify the contractor in writing of items requiring incorporation of a service bulletin or modification. Upon receiving notice of a service bulletin or modification, the contractor shall submit within 30 calendar days a firm-fixed priced proposal for an incremental charge to be assessed each time the service bulletin or change is incorporated in a component. The proposal shall contain a breakdown of material and labor costs based upon the firm-fixed labor rates and material factors. 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 the 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 contractor’s facility if said service bulletin has not already been incorporated. When service bulletin incorporation changes the component’s part number, the new part number will be added to the contract. The contractor shall update the components data plate if applicable denoting the new part number and/or modification number. 5.0 Flight Critical Equipment and Airworthiness Certification. N/A 6.0 Serial Number Tracked Equipment. N/A 7. 0 Contractor Verification of Components. Upon receipt of components the contractor shall verify part numbers and serial numbers on the components match exactly those on the Purchase Orders. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of any discrepancies. The Government reserves the right to have discrepant equipment returned “as is”, therefore the Contractor shall not start work on discrepant equipment. Correction of discrepancies and/or disposition instructions will be provided via modification to the Purchase Order. 8.0 Product Quality Deficiencies Report (PQDR). Repaired and overhauled components found to have deficiencies will be reported on the Joint Deficiency Reporting System as a Product Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR). The Government may return the equipment to the Contractor for investigation under a no-cost Purchase Order. 9.0 Requests for Government Furnished Material (GFM). Requests for GFM will be reviewed by the Government and a determination will be made to either furnish the requested material and adjust the monetary value of the Purchase Order as applicable or deny the request (per the conditions of paragraph 4). Requests for GFM shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer with a brief narrative that supports the request. 10.0 Turn Around Time and Delivery Time. The required turn-around-time is ninety (90) days after receipt of material (ARM). Earlier delivery is desired if there are no extra charges to the Government. 11.0 Aircraft on Ground (AOG) and Work Stop (WS) Requirements. An AOG or WS situation necessitates a special schedule and requires accelerated overhaul completion and expedited delivery to the applicable U.S. Coast Guard Air Station. In the event an AOG/WS status occurs as a result of a lack of any of the components specified in the schedule, the Contractor will be notified by the Government in writing of the AOG/WS situation. The Contractor’s response shall provide 1) status of the component(s) needed to satisfy the AOG/WS condition that includes what USCG items in-house for repair/overhaul are closest to completion under normal working conditions and 2) an estimate of the labor hours needed to accelerate work completion. The accelerated work will be authorized via a Purchase Order Modification in conjunction with mutually agreed upon prices, delivery, and shipping cost reimbursement for next day delivery to the applicable USCG facility. In the event of an AOG/WS situation, the Purchase Order and applicable Line Item Number will be modified as needed to reflect the USCG delivery address and the applicable USCG Requisition Number. The Contractor shall be required to ensure the Requisition Number is included on shipping documents/delivery tickets so that the Material Receipt can be processed by the applicable USCG receiving personnel. 12.0 Environmental Requirements. All parts must be thoroughly cleaned IAW applicable Component Maintenance Manuals or FAA Advisory Circular 43-205, Guidance for Selecting Chemical Agents and Processes for Depainting and General Cleaning of Aircraft and Aviation Products, to ensure they are as free as practicable of all hazardous dust to include hexavalent chromium, cadmium, lead, etc., prior to being returned to ALC. ALC may take random samples of parts to ensure they are free as practicable of all hazards. Information on these hazards can be found in Occupational Safety and Health Standards 1910.1025 (lead), 1910.1026 (Hexavalent Chromium) and 1910.1027 (Cadmium).
