- Description
- SOLICITATION STATEMENT OF WORK Background Information As directed by section 1098 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, DoD is transferring fourteen (14) HC-27J aircraft to the Coast Guard. The HC-27J aircraft were procured by the Air Force under the Joint Cargo Aircraft contract. In July 2014 the Air Force transferred 13 HC-27J aircraft in the DoD configuration. The Coast Guard established an Asset Project Office (APO) for the HC-27J at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Elizabeth City, N.C. The HC-27J APO along with CG-931 is responsible for logistical system development to include HC-27J supply support. Initial Requirements This requirement is to procure ground support equipment required to support the operation and maintenance of the Coast Guard's HC-27J aircraft. Alenia Aermacchi is the manufacture of the HC-27J aircraft. The ground support equipment being procured under this acquisition are manufactured by Essex Cryogenics, Saint Louis, MO and is the only know US distributor and only known ground support equipment compatible with the Alenia HC-27J aircraft. Identify Product/Services and Sources Able to Meet the Requirement Please see attached solicitation for description of items. The ground support equipment included in this requirement are required to support the HC-27J aircraft. The OEM is Essex Cryogenics. Sources other than the OEM must provide documentation of traceability to the OEM. Vendor Code: 19062 Name: Essex Cryogenics 8007 Chivvis Drive City: Saint Louis, MO 63123-3123 State:VA Zip Code+4: 22202 Country: US Phone: (314)832-8077 Description of the Commercial Marketplace The storage LOX Tanks and purge kits, ground support equipment are manufactured by Essex Cryogenics and are compatible with the Alenia HC-27J aircraft. The USCG did not purchase the rights as part of the initial system acquisition for the HC-27J aircraft or ground support equipment. Should other potential offerors be identified prior to award the file will be updated to included all potential sources and the requirement competed among all eligible offerors. All offerors must provide documentation of traceability of each part to the OEM identified in the schedule. Part numbers for like or similar parts are not acceptable. Prevalent Business Practices Essex Cryogenics ground support equipment are the only know source compatible with the Alenia aircraft. They are currently the only source possessing the necessary proprietary data, specification and drawings required to manufacturer the ground support equipment included in this requirement. The USCG did not purchase the data rights as a part of the initial system acquisition for the HC-27J aircraft. Therefore, it is difficult to take steps to foster competition as the manufacturing performance and acceptance data are proprietary. Pricing and Market Issues The negotiated price will be determined fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR Part 15.4, Contract Pricing. This requirement will be posted on FedBizOps to promote competition and determine if other sources with documented traceability to the OEM are available. The USCG will use this information to conduct price analysis and to ensure pricing is fair and reasonable prior to award of contract. Likewise, market research has determined that Essex Cryogenics is the only responsible source that can satisfy Coast Guard requirement for the Alenia HC-27J ground support equipment at this time.
