THE U.S. COAST GUARD AIRCRAFT REPAIR AND SUPPLY CENTER (ARSC) INTENDS TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER USING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES FOR REPAIR OF: (1 ) EACH VERTICAL STABILIZER , PN# MY20310G01 NSN: 1560-14-477-2082 .

REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OEM SPECIFICATION, STATEMENT OF WORK,U.S. COAST GUARD HU25 VERTICAL STABALIZER STATEMENT OF WORK 27 APRIL 04 1.0 BACKGROUND The U.S. Coast Guard currently operates twenty (20) HU-25 aircraft manufactured between 1982 and 1984 by Dassault-Breguet Aviation SA-Avions Marcel. These aircraft are used differently from general aviation as HU-25 missions frequently operate within salt-laden environments. This condition accelerates the corrosive attack to the HU-25’s vertical stabilizer (P/N MY20310G01). 2.0 OBJECTIVE 2.1.1. The Coast Guard’s objective is to obtain services of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized repair center to effectively repair and provide a complete, ready-to-install HU-25 vertical stabilizer assembly. The repaired vertical stabilizer must meet the OEM’s critical profile and dimensions to ensure the fit to aircraft with minimal adjustment during installation. In addition, corrosion preventative steps shall be incorporated during repair. 2.1.2. The Coast Guard anticipates two levels of vertical stabilizer repair. First, a “baseline repair” would be required for a stabilizer that is subject to limited damage, such as exterior corrosion or impact damage and replacement of hardware and/or skin. Second, “extensive repair” would be required for a stabilizer that is beyond the scope of a baseline repair and would include the replacement of major extrusions, i.e., fittings. The quoter shall provide a cost break down for items above and beyond a baseline repair. At a minimum, these two levels of service should be addressed in the quote. Quoters may submit additional levels of service. 3.0 To meet the Coast Guard’s objectives the quoter will be required to meet the following technical criteria: 3.1.
