STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO) 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Coast Guard currently operates thirteen HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft, each powered by two CT7-9C3 turboprop engine power units. The aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is AIRBUS MILITARY (formerly EADS CASA), Seville, Spain and the CT7-9C3 turboprop engine power unit OEM is General Electric Corporation, Aviation Division, Lynn, MA. These aircraft including the engines are procured under the authority of the Coast Guard Aviation Program Management Office. While the base CASA CN-235-300M aircraft provides the foundation for the Coast Guard HC-144A, changes to base aircraft configuration and the addition of supplementary systems have been combined resulting in a CG01 version of the CN-235-300M. The end state for the fleet size is still under review but could include as many as 36 assets. The projected number of Coast Guard assets over the next five years includes up to twenty operational HC-144A aircraft with each averaging 1200 flight hours annually. 1.2 The HC-144A aircraft with the CT7-9C3 engine power units are operated differently from general aviation in support of the Coast Guard search and rescue missions, as well as surveillance and reconnaissance missions. On April 14, 2012, during a night flight, the Coast Guard unit reported the 2310 HC-144A aircraft, #1 engine chip light illuminated 5.3 hours into fight. The aircraft returned to home station and the engines were secured. The CT7-9C3 engine power units were inspected by the Coast Guard personnel in accordance with (IAW) the OEM periodic requirements and in conjunction with the Coast Guard specialized Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS). The #1 CT7-9C3 turboprop engine power unit chip detector had a small amount of carbon and one relatively large silver ferrous metal chip, approximately 5/32" in length by 1/16" in width.

Offers that are significantly higher or lower than the government's estimate may be considered an indication that the offeror does not understand the requirement and may be evaluated as posing a significant performance risk. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offerors are listed in order of importance. Evaluation Factors: Technical capability, Past Performance, Delivery and Price. Technical and past performance, when combined, is significantly more important than price. This is a best value, commercial item acquisition; award may be made for other than lowest price. The Government intends to award to a responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation, and provides the Government with the best value, price and other factors considered. Factor 1 - Technical Capability Offerors are to provide a statement of technical qualifications, including a summary of the technical expertise, facilities and documentation for repairing the components listed in the schedule. Vendor demonstrating possession of or ability to obtain (via an official agreement) the required OEM manuals and parts. Factor 2 - Past Performance and Delivery Contractor will be evaluated by customer ratings, including quality ratings, customer service, warranty, timeliness of acceptable deliveries and recommendation for future service and performance. Offerors shall provide information on two (2) contracts performed by their organization over the past three years for the GE CT7-9C3 or similar engine power unit. The Past Performance list shall contain: 1. Customer's name, address, and telephone number of both the lead contractual and technical personnel most familiar with the Offerors performance record. 2. Contract number, type, and total original and present or final contract value. 3. Date of contract, place(s) of performance, and delivery dates or period of performance 4. Brief description of contract work and comparability to the proposed effort. It is not sufficient to state that it is comparable in magnitude and scope. Rationale must be provided to demonstrate that it is comparable. Factor 3 - Price The Coast Guard may determine the best value that merits a higher price based on technical superiority. The Coast Guard, using sound business judgment, will base the selection decision on an integrated assessment of the proposal's relative capability as measured against the evaluation factors. Factors 1 and 2 are equal and are significantly more important than Factor 3. While the Price is an important part of the integrated selection decision, the non-Price Factors are significantly more important than the Price Factor. Price will become increasingly important as proposal evaluation ratings for technical factors and past performance factors approach equal. 52.252-1 Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference (FEB 1998) This solicitation incorporates one or more solicitation provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text.

Person, domestic, and foreign have the meanings given such terms by paragraphs (1), (4), and (5) of section 7701(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, respectively. (c) Special rules. The following definitions and special rules shall apply when determining whether a foreign incorporated entity should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation. (1) Certain stock disregarded.

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 General 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 cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the USCG 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. If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. 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 to: Department of Homeland Security United States Coast Guard (CG-9131) Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests 1900 Half Street, SW, Room 11-0602 Washington, D.
