The base CASA CN-235M aircraft provided the foundation; changes to the configuration and the addition of supplementary systems have resulted in the 300M series CG01 version of the CN-235M, the USCG HC-144 Maritime Patrol Aircraft. Currently, the USCG is also acquiring fourteen (14) HC-27J aircraft from the U.S. Air Force to further the Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) mission of the USCG. Both the HC-144 and HC-27J aircraft require Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) Inspection every four (4) years. The PDM is conducted at USCG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and includes a required external paint refurbishment. The USCG's missions consistently expose these aircraft to corrosive salt water environments resulting in the need for a high quality well applied aircraft paint system. 2.0 SERVICES 2.1 The Contractor shall supply all labor, equipment, facilities, masking materials, pre-paint solutions, primer, and topcoats. The Contractor shall have an onsite de-paint and paint facility and the capabilities and equipment to perform minor aircraft maintenance as described in Section 7.0. 2.2 The Contractor shall provide all services necessary to prepare, scuff sand or de-paint coatings, and externally paint the HC-144 and HC-27J aircraft in accordance with (IAW) the respective paint drawings: HC-144 1100-11-1 Paint and Detail Drawings 100-11-2 Exterior Placards Stencils Drawings HC-27J 1300-11-1 Paint and Detail Drawings 1300-11-2 Exterior Placards and Markings Stencils Drawings In addition to the respective drawings, the Contractor shall adhere to all Government published standards, CN-235 and HC-27J technical orders, and associated maintenance requirements listed in this PWS.

The termination will be effective at 12:01 a.m. on the fifteenth day following the day the written notice is received by the Contractor. (i) If the Contracting Officer later determines that the Contractor acted promptly to correct the cited conditions or that the time taken by the Contractor was not unreasonable, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price for any additional costs incurred as a result of termination of the Government's assumption of risk. (ii) Any dispute as to the timeliness of the Contractor's action or the equitable adjustment shall be considered a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.

(ii) If the Government does not again assume the risk of loss and the unreasonable conditions have been corrected, the Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment for insurance costs, if any, extending after the third working day after the Government's receipt of the Contractor's notice of correction. (6) The Government's termination of its assumption of risk of loss does not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to comply with all other provisions of this clause, including the combined regulation/instruction entitled "Contractor's Flight and Ground Operations." (e) Exclusions from the Government's assumption of risk. The Government's assumption of risk shall not extend to damage, loss, or destruction of aircraft which- (1) Results from failure of the Contractor, due to willful misconduct or lack of good faith of any of the Contractor's managerial personnel, to maintain and administer a program for the protection and preservation of aircraft in the open and during operation in accordance with sound industrial practice, including oversight of subcontractor's program. (2) Is sustained during flight if either the flight or the flight crew members have not been approved in advance of any flight writing by the Government Flight Representative, who has been authorized in accordance with the combined regulation/instruction entitled "Contractor's Flight and Ground Operations"; (3) Occurs in the course of transportation by rail, or by conveyance on public streets, highways, or waterways, except for Government-furnished property; (4) Is covered by insurance; (5) Consists of wear and tear; deterioration (including rust and corrosion); freezing; or mechanical, structural, or electrical breakdown or failure, unless these are the result of other loss, damage or destruction covered by this clause.

(f) Contractor's share of loss and Contractor's deductible under the Government's self-insurance. (1) The Contractor assumes the risk of loss and shall be responsible for the Contractor's share of loss under the Government's self-insurance.

(2) If the Government elects to require that the aircraft be replaced or restored by the Contractor to its condition immediately prior to the damage, the equitable adjustment in the price authorized by paragraph (j) of this clause shall not include the dollar amount of the risk assumed by the Contractor. (3) In the event the Government does not elect repair or replacement, the Contractor agrees to credit the contract price or pay the Government, as directed by the Contracting Officer, the lesser of- (i) $100,000; (ii) Twenty percent of the price or estimated cost of this contract; or (iii) The amount of the loss. (4) For task order and delivery order contracts, the Contractor's share of the loss shall be the lesser of $100,000 or twenty percent of the combined total price or total estimated cost of those orders issued to date to which the clause applies. (5) The costs incurred by the Contractor for its share of the loss and for insuring against that loss are unallowable costs, including but not limited to- (i) The Contractor's share of loss under the Government's self-insurance; (ii) The costs of the Contractor's self-insurance; (iii) The deductible for any Contractor- purchased insurance; (iv) Insurance premiums paid for Contractor- purchased insurance; and (v) Costs associated with determining, litigating, and defending against the Contractor's liability. (g) Subcontractor possession or control. The Contractor shall not be relieved from liability for damage, loss, or destruction of aircraft while such aircraft is in the possession or control of its subcontractors, except to the extent that the subcontract, with the written approval of the Contracting Officer, provides for relief from each liability. In the absence of approval, the subcontract shall contain provisions requiring the return of aircraft in as good condition as when received, except for reasonable wear and tear or for the utilization of the property in accordance with the provisions of this contract. (h) Contractor's exclusion of insurance costs. The Contractor warrants that the contract price does not and will not include, except as may be authorized in this clause, any charge or contingency reserve for insurance covering damage, loss, or destruction of aircraft while in the open, during operation, or in flight when the risk has been assumed by the Government including the Contractor's share of loss in this clause, even if the assumption may be terminated for aircraft in the open. (i) Procedures in the event of loss. (1) In the event of damage, loss, or destruction of aircraft in the open, during operation, or in flight, the Contractor shall take all reasonable steps to protect the aircraft from further damage, to separate damaged and undamaged aircraft and to put all aircraft in the best possible order.

(2) The Contracting Officer will make an equitable adjustment for expenditures made by the Contractor in performing the obligations under this paragraph. (j) Loss prior to delivery. (1) If prior to delivery and acceptance by the Government, aircraft is damaged, lost, or destroyed and the Government assumed the risk, the Government shall either- (i) Require that the aircraft be replaced or restored by the Contractor to the condition immediately prior to the damage, in which event the Contracting Officer will make an equitable adjustment in the contract price and the time for contract performance; or (ii) Terminate this contract with respect to the aircraft. Notwithstanding the provisions in any other termination clause under this contract, in the event of termination, the Contractor shall be paid the contract price for the aircraft (or, if applicable, any work to be performed on the aircraft) less any amount the Contracting Officer determines- (A) It would have cost the Contractor to complete the aircraft (or any work to be performed on the aircraft) together with anticipated profit on uncompleted work; and (B) Would be the value of the damaged aircraft or any salvage retained by the Contractor. (2) The Contracting Officer shall prescribe the manner of disposition of the damaged, lost, or destroyed aircraft, or any parts of the aircraft. If any additional costs of such disposition are incurred by the Contractor, a further equitable adjustment will be made in the amount due the Contractor. Failure of the parties to agree upon termination costs or an equitable adjustment with respect to any aircraft shall be considered a dispute under the Disputes clause. (k) Reimbursement from a third party. In the event the Contractor is reimbursed or compensated by a third party for damage, loss, or destruction of aircraft and has also been compensated by the Government, the Contractor shall equitably reimburse the Government. The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government's right to recover against third parties for damage, loss, or destruction. Upon the request of the Contracting Officer or authorized representative, the Contractor shall at Government expense furnish to the Government all reasonable assistance and cooperation (including the prosecution of suit and the execution of instruments of assignment or subrogation) in obtaining recovery. (l) Government acceptance of liability. To the extent the Government has accepted such liability under other provisions of this contract, the Contractor shall not be reimbursed for liability to third persons for loss or damage to property or for death or bodily injury caused by aircraft during flight unless the flight crew members previously have been approved for this flight in writing by the Government Flight Representative, who has been authorized in accordance with the combined regulation entitled "Contractor's Flight and Ground Operations".

All proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation factors specified below, in descending order of importance. The non-priced factors of Technical Approach, Relevant Experience, and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Preliminary Screening: Offers will be assessed a preliminary screening to ensure compliance with the minimum mandatory submission requirements identified below. Note: the information required is considered "Go/No-Go". Failure to comply with the minimum requirements for preliminary screening will result in a determination of non-responsiveness and removal from further consideration. Offerors must meet the following requirements and must submit evidence attesting to such: • Current certification for Ground Flight Risk compliance in accordance with DCMA INST 8210.1C, or have the ability to obtain and pass a GFR inspection within 30 days after contract award. Vendors not currently GFR certified shall provide their comprehensive Ground Operating Procedures; • Contractor facility shall be a FAA Certified Repair Center with climate control and adequate space to accommodate the performance of all aircraft de-painting and painting processes; • Contractor's facility shall be able to hot purge and service the liquid oxygen system of the HC-27J or provide an alternate plan; and • Contractor servicing airfield must be able to accommodate the HC-27J and HC-144 based on normal (non-tactical) takeoff and landing performance in accordance with the aircraft's performance manual for field length, departure approach climb gradients, runway and ramp weight bearing capacities, and taxi obstruction clearance. Factor 1: Technical Capability This factor shall depict in sufficient detail the offeror's capability to successfully provide ALL the services specified by the PWS and the schedule. Offerors shall submit their planned approach based on demonstrated comprehension of the PWS; work plans, processes and procedures for successfully managing the entire de-paint/paint process from induction to delivery. Sub-factor 1: Technical Approach The Government will evaluate the Contractors response based on a technical approach that demonstrates their understanding of services to be provided with a soundness of strategy and approach of the PWS requirements. Offerors shall submit process flow charts, a facilities floor plan and supporting relevant narratives depicting the entire de-paint/paint process from induction of the aircraft to delivery in accordance with the calendar day objective. The flow chart shall also demonstrate the ability to accommodate a flexibility of plus or minus five days in relation to the following sample PDM schedule: Aircraft 1 Paint start date: 8/24/17 Aircraft 2 Strip start date: 6/29/17 Paint start date : 12/12/17 Aircraft 3 Strip start date : 9/11/17 Paint start date: 2/23/18 Aircraft 4 Strip start date: 12/29/17 Paint start date: 6/14/18 Aircraft 5 Strip start date: 3/11/18 Paint start date: 8/25/18 Aircraft 6 Strip start date: 6/30/18 Paint start date : 12/14/18 Aircraft 7 Strip start date: 9/10/18 Paint start date: 3/4/19 Aircraft 8 Strip start date: 12/30/18 Paint start date: 6/15/19 Aircraft 9 Strip start date: 3/12/19 Paint start date: 8/26/19 Aircraft 10 Strip start date: 7/1/19 Paint start date: 12/15/19 Aircraft 11 Strip start date: 9/11/19 Paint start date: 2/25/20 Aircraft 12 Strip start date: 12/31/19 Paint start date: 6/15/20 Aircraft 13 Strip start date: 3/12/20 Paint start date: 8/26/20 Sub-factor 2: Qualified Workforce The Contractor's workforce shall be experienced and trained in the de-paint and paint processes for aircraft similar in size of the HC-144 and HC-27 aircraft. In addition, personnel shall have experience in maintaining and servicing aircraft, specifically with aircraft towing, lube capability, fueling and de-fueling, and weight and balance (or have an Aircraft Weight and Balance System). Offerors shall submit resumes for the following Key Personnel required for the de-paint and paint processes from onset to completion: • Project Manager • Paint Manager • Hangar Manager • Maintenance Manager Factor 2: Relevant Experience The Offeror shall submit in sufficient detail information regarding recent and relevant experience in previous efforts in the application of High Gloss Polyurethane Paint Systems in accordance with MIL-PRF-85285 TYPE IV over the most recent five year period. This factor will be evaluated for the relevancy and length of an offeror's experience in accomplishing the work required by the PWS. Relevancy will focus on the offeror's ability to fully manage all services required to prepare, scuff sand or de-paint coating, and externally paint the HC-144 and HC-27J aircraft in accordance with respective paint drawings. This experience shall be documented as performed on aircraft similar in size and scope of the USCG HC-144 and HC-27J aircraft. The evaluation of experience will focus on the relevance of the offeror's experience in relation to the objectives established in the PWS and will be verified through contact with the offeror's references. The Government will confirm the offeror's experience in similar paint processes, similar quantities, and the duration of experience. The determination of "similar" is at the sole discretion of the Government. Factor 3: Past Performance This factor will be evaluated for a performance risk assessment and will consider the currency, quality, and relevancy of the offeror's past performance. Currency will only consider past performance information having occurred within the most recent three-year period. The quality of past performance will focus on timeliness of delivery, quality issues and their resolution, and overall customer satisfaction. The Government will verify/confirm the offeror's past performance in similar processes and the level of customer satisfaction on those efforts. Additionally, the Government will verify past performance information using the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). In order for Factors 2 and 3 to be adequately assessed, offerors must identify and provide valid contact information for a minimum of three professional references (Federal, state and local Government, and/or private contracts) for which similar external paint processes of similar scope have been performed. References shall include; organization name, Point of Contact (POC), POC phone and email, contract number, contract value, and duration. The Government will contact the references identified by the offerors to confirm submitted information. The past performance evaluation will result in an assessment of the Government's confidence in the offeror's ability to fulfill the solicitation requirements while meeting schedule, budget, and performance quality requirements. Failure to provide accurate reference information or information that cannot be confirmed could result in lower ratings for Factor 2, and will result in a neutral rating for Factor 3. Factor 4: Price Proposals shall include a firm-fixed price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) specified in the schedule for the base year and all option periods. In addition to the proposed prices, the USCG will assess $22.50 per mile (based on an average flight hour rate of $4,500/hr and speed, 200kts, of the aircraft) to accommodate the transport of the aircraft to and from Elizabeth City, NC and the Contractor's facility. The Total Evaluated Price will be calculated as the sum total of the base and all option periods, and the per flight mile rate for aircraft transport. Offerors shall use the "HSCG38-17-R-010001 Schedule" for their priced proposal. The total price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) to determine fairness and reasonableness. As proposals become more equal technically, price will become the deciding factor for award.

The quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

(b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. Subject to any limitations in the Order Limitations clause or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations. (c) The estimated quantities are not the total requirements of the Government activity specified in the Schedule, but are estimates of requirements in excess of the quantities that the activity may itself furnish within its own capabilities. Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Government shall order from the Contractor all of that activity's requirements for supplies and services specified in the Schedule that exceed the quantities that the activity may furnish within its own capabilities. (d) The Government is not required to purchase from the Contractor requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract.

The Government's obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise for performance under this contract beyond April 28, 2017, until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and until the Contractor receives notice of availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. (End of clause) FAR 52.252-6 Authorized Deviations in Clauses (Apr 1984) (a) The use in this solicitation or contract of any Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 1) clause with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of "(DEVIATION)" after the date of the clause.

FAR 52.222-52 Exemption From Application Of The Service Contract Labor Standards To Contracts For Certain Services--Certification (May 2014) (a) The offeror shall check the following certification: The offeror [ ] does [ ] does not certify that- (1) The services under the contract are offered and sold regularly to non-Governmental customers, and are provided by the offeror (or subcontractor in the case of an exempt subcontract) to the general public in substantial quantities in the course of normal business operations; (2) The contract services are furnished at prices that are, or are based on, established catalog or market prices. An "established catalog price" is a price included in a catalog, price list, schedule, or other form that is regularly maintained by the manufacturer or the offeror, is either published or otherwise available for inspection by customers, and states prices at which sales currently, or were last, made to a significant number of buyers constituting the general public. An "established market price" is a current price, established in the usual course of ordinary and usual trade between buyers and sellers free to bargain, which can be substantiated from sources independent of the manufacturer or offeror; (3) Each service employee who will perform the services under the contract will spend only a small portion of his or her time (a monthly average of less than 20 percent of the available hours on an annualized basis, or less than 20 percent of available hours during the contract period if the contract period is less than a month) servicing the Government contract; and (4) The offeror uses the same compensation (wage and fringe benefits) plan for all service employees performing work under the contract as the offeror uses for these employees and for equivalent employees servicing commercial customers. (b) Certification by the offeror as to its compliance with respect to the contract also constitutes its certification as to compliance by its subcontractor if it subcontracts out the exempt services. If the offeror certifies to the conditions in paragraph (a) of this provision, and the Contracting Officer determines in accordance with FAR 22.1003-4(d)(3) that the Service Contract Act- (1) Will not apply to this offeror, then the Service Contract Labor Standards clause in this solicitation will not be included in any resultant contract to this offeror; or (2) Will apply to this offeror, then the clause at FAR 52.222-53, Exemption from Application of the Service Contract Labor Standards to Contracts for Certain Services--Requirements, in this solicitation will not be included in any resultant contract awarded to this offer, and the offeror may be provided an opportunity to submit a new offer on that basis. (c) If the offeror does not certify to the conditions in paragraph (a) of this provision- (1) The clause of this solicitation at 52.222-53, Exemption from Application of the Service Contract Labor Standards to Contracts for Certain Services--Requirements, will not be included in any resultant contract to this offeror; and (2) The offeror shall notify the Contracting Officer as soon as possible if the Contracting Officer did not attach a Service Contract Labor Standards wage determination to the solicitation. (d) The Contracting Officer may not make an award to the offeror, if the offeror fails to execute the certification in paragraph (a) of this provision or to contact the Contracting Officer as required in paragraph (c) of this provision.

(End of clause) NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman. Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer. Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed. The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.
