The condition report shall include the order number, the national stock number, the part number, the serial number, and the order line item number for each component. The condition report will not include pricing previously obligated for the TT&E. Subject to negotiation and Coast Guard evaluation, a modification will be issued to grant authorization to proceed, reflect the fixed price for overhaul and establish a final delivery date. The information contained in the scope of work is not intended to be all-inclusive nor to detract from procedures outlined in this SOW specification. All overhaul actions shall be in accordance with the SOW, correct Army Depot Maintenance Work Requirements (DMWR) and Federal Aviation Regulation Parts 43 and 145 or alternate standard approved in writing by ALC MRR Contracting Officer. Components furnished hereunder shall be returned by the contractor in an airworthy condition and in all respects suitable for installation on the MH-60T aircraft. Certification and documentation requirements apply. A DD Form 1577-2, Unserviceable Tag-Material, or a CG-1577-A (11-90), Unsatisfactory Report Tag, and or CG 1577-1 (11/90) Unsatisfactory Report Tag will be attached to each Not Ready for Issue generator and may describing its faults. Once the component has been restored to an operable condition, the Contractor shall remove the unserviceable tag from the item. The Contractor shall provide all necessary parts, material, tooling, labor, overhaul manuals (DMWR), test equipment and facilities to evaluate and overhaul each component listed. The work shall conform to the requirements of this SOW at the price established after acceptance of the TT&E proposal by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide the data and documentation requirements specified as part of this SOW. All work shall be in accordance with the current DMWR. The Contractor must have access to all needed overhaul manuals and performance/test/acceptance criteria and data to ensure the components are overhauled/modified, calibrated and operating in accordance with the current government DMWR. Prior to award, the Contractor shall provide written proof to the Contracting Officer it physically has in its possession or the ability to obtain all necessary parts, material, tooling, labor, overhaul manuals (DMWR), test equipment, and facilities for evaluating and overhauling the generators. 3.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The generators shall be overhauled in accordance with appropriate Army DMWR; 1-6115-513 applies to item (1) and 1-6115-502 applies to item (2). The latest revision shall apply. Only commercial contractors that have access to or can obtain a copy of the appropriate DMWRs shall be considered for this overhaul requirement. The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama is the lead government agency. However, ALC MRR Engineering has the responsibility to certify manufacturers/repair/overhaul agents for components unique to or maintained exclusively by the Coast Guard. This component is used interchangeably throughout the Coast Guard MH-60T fleet and there are no authorized substitutions. Where applicable, the front cover of the manual will address if the Export Control Act applies. 4.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Overhaul The components shall be overhauled in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 43 and 145, and the prescribed manuals (DMWR); latest revision shall apply. The Coast Guard does not own, nor can it provide the required directives for this requirement. The contractor shall provide written proof to the Contracting Officer prior to award date it physically has in its possession or the ability to obtain all necessary parts, material, labor, tooling, repair and overhaul manuals (DMWR), test equipment and facilities for evaluating and overhauling the components listed in this SOW for the Coast Guard fleet of MH-60T helicopters. The contractor must have access to all needed overhaul manuals and performance/test/acceptance criteria and data to ensure the component is overhauled and operating in accordance with the DMWRs listed above. The components shall be overhauled and returned to serviceable condition in accordance with the DMWR specifications and drawings. The latest revision for any technical manual shall be used in the performance of this order. The contractor shall also perform a visual and technical inspection and correct all additional deficiencies found. This shall include replacement of broken parts and the removal of any foreign matter or corrosion. Corroded parts shall be replaced, except in those cases where removal of corrosion from a part will not impair the efficiency or safe operation of the part. Corrosion removal and treatment of affected areas will be accomplished in accordance with the DMWR specifications (or best commercial practices if not addressed by the DMWR). 4.2 Corrosion Issues Coast Guard aircraft operate primarily in a saltwater environment and are subject to corrosion. Corrosion is expected on equipment to be overhauled under this order. During inspection and functional test, the presence of corrosion in a component or subcomponent thereof shall constitute reason for a more thorough disassembly and inspection. Should corrosion be found, disassembly shall be made only to the extent necessary to remove corrosion or replace the part(s) affected. Corroded parts shall be replaced except in those cases where removal of corrosion from a part will not impair efficiency or safe operation of the part. Corrosion removal and treatment of affected areas shall be accomplished in accordance with the DWMR's current specifications and drawings. 4.3 Tracking System Part and serial number integrity is required under this order. The generators are not a flight critical item. However, serial number tracking shall be used for validating the correct components were received at the contractor's repair facility and returned to ALC. Upon receipt of the components, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, MRR Supply Cell, in writing of the date of receipt, and shall confirm the serial numbers of the components received and the applicable delivery order number. Notification by facsimile or email is acceptable: submit to (252) 335-6790, ATTN: Contracting Officer MRR Supply Cell. The Email address will be provided by the Contracting Officer. The Coast Guard utilizes a serial number tracking system and places high priority on parts integrity within aircraft components. As a result, any part which is determined to be in a serviceable condition as a result of inspection and functional testing shall be reused in the generator from which it was removed, if practical, with the exception of parts specifically replaced during the overhaul as required by the directives as stated within the order. The Contractor shall perform a visual inspection of the equipment and correct deficiencies found. This shall include replacement of broken parts and the removal of any foreign matter or corrosion. Parts found to be defective shall be replaced with new parts. Occasionally, a component will be received without a data plate. If a component is missing the data plate, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing requesting approval of serial number assignment. Upon the Contracting Officer's acceptance of the serial number proposed, a modification shall be issued stating the serial number to be assigned. Upon receipt of a fully executed modification authorizing assignment of the stated serial number, the Contractor shall affix a new data plate to the component. The data plate shall include all the required information including the newly assigned serial number. 4.4 Changes to Government Depot Maintenance Manuals The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer when changes are made to the DMWR specifications or drawings which are applicable to the components in this SOW. Such notification shall include the nature of the change and details sufficient for the Coast Guard to evaluate the scope and impact of the change. Prior approval to perform in accordance with revised specifications/drawings shall be obtained from the Contracting Officer before proceeding with work. The Coast Guard reserves the right to waive any specification. 4.5 Environmental Requirements All parts must be thoroughly cleaned in accordance with 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 the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard may take random samples of parts to ensure they are as 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). 4.6 Service Bulletins, Modifications, Engineering Change Proposals (ECP), Local Engineering Change Proposals (LECP), Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO) The Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor in writing of components requiring incorporation of a service bulletin, modification, ECP, LECP, or TCTO. Upon receiving such notice, the Contractor shall submit within thirty (30) calendar days, a firm-fixed-price quote for an incremental charge to be assessed each time the service bulletin or change is incorporated into a component. The quote shall contain a breakdown of material and labor costs based upon the firm-fixed labor rates and material factors. The incremental charge agreed upon for incorporation of a service bulletin shall apply only to those components 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 an order modification to reflect this change, the service bulletin shall be incorporated into each subsequent component received at the overhaul facility if the service bulletin has not already been incorporated. When service bulletin incorporation changes the part number of the component contained in this schedule, the new part number and NSN (if applicable) will be added to the order. 4.7 Replacement Parts The contractor shall provide all necessary parts, material, labor, tooling, repair manuals, test equipment and facilities to evaluate and overhaul the generators for the Coast Guard fleet of MH-60T helicopters, as necessary to conform to the requirements of this SOW at the pricing established in the order schedule.
