BACKGROUND:
The Coast Guard currently operates thirteen HC-144A aircraft each powered by two CT7-9C3 turboprop engines. The HC-144A aircraft is manufactured by EADS CASA based in Seville, Spain, the CT7-9C3 turboprop engines are manufactured by General Electric, Aviation Division based out of Lynn, MA, USA. The model 14RF-37 Propeller assemblies are manufactured by Hamilton Sundstrand based out of Windsor locks CT, USA. The base CASA CN-235-300M provides the foundation for the Coast Guard HC-144A aircraft. The Coast Guard HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft and its CT7-9C3 turboprop engines, are operated differently from general aviation in support of such Coast Guard missions as: Search & Rescue, Surveillance, Logistic Support, and Law Enforcement Missions. These missions require frequent operation at lower altitudes and in salt-laden environments which accelerate corrosion on airframe structures, engines and other components. The aircraft, the engines and their components are inspected by Coast Guard personnel in accordance with (IAW) the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) periodic requirements and in conjunction with the Coast Guard's specialized Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS).
COAST GUARD OBJECTIVES:
To establish a five year firm-fixed price contract to purchase aircraft parts (see listing). Only the exact part numbers listed in the schedule will be accepted. This requirement must be restricted to authorized sources of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or firms who can effectively demonstrate their ability to provide the components and obtain the proprietary data required meeting form, fit, and function of the units. The Coast Guard requires that distributors or other potential sources be ASA-100 certified, or in compliance with other quality systems listed in FAA Advisory Circular 00-56A.These requirements are necessary in order for the Coast Guard to maintain the capability to adequately support all Coast Guard missions.
