Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking repair services for ECU Control Units (P/N: 697949-13 and P/N: 816231-3-008) used on HC-130J aircraft. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ 70Z03826QH0000078) for commercial items. While an unrestricted requirement, a sole-source award to SIMTECH, INC (CAGE: 1KVK9) is anticipated due to their unique authorization as the only repair center with the necessary technical data. However, all responsible sources are invited to submit quotations. The initial requirement is for three (3) units, with an option for the USCG to increase the quantity by two (2) additional units, for a maximum of five (5) total.
Scope of Work
The contractor will provide firm-fixed price repair services for applicable Part Numbers (P/N) and National Stock Numbers (NSN) of HC-130J aircraft components. Services include visual and technical inspection, correction of deficiencies (including corrosion removal), and returning components in an airworthy condition suitable for installation. Repairs must adhere to applicable technical directives or USCG-approved alternate standards. The contractor is responsible for supplying all parts, labor, and materials. Special requirements include being an OEM Certified Repair Facility, providing Airworthiness Certification (e.g., FAA 8130), and a Certificate of Conformance (COC) for each repaired item.
