Contractor Requirements
1. This requirement is for the repair of items listed in the following table utilized on the United
States Coast Guard (USCG)’s H-65 helicopter. Upon receipt of the components, the
contractor shall perform a test and evaluation to determine the condition of the item.
Description Quantity National Stock Number Part Number
Engine Extinguisher 15 1680-14-562-8832 10230-01
2. Test and Evaluation. If, after visual and functional inspections, an item is found to meet
manufacturer's minimum performance specifications and is considered to be Ready for
Installation (RFI) or is considered to be Beyond Economical Repair (BER) in accordance
with (IAW) paragraph 11, the contractor will be allowed the firm fixed price for test and
evaluation only. The contractor shall prepare a failure data report IAW paragraph 13 which
shall be included with the returned component. The parts shall be marked "RFI” or “BER”
and returned as-is. All other items shall be repaired IAW this SOW.
3. Repair. Non-RFI components shall be repaired and returned to RFI condition IAW the
OEM minimum functional performance specifications and OEM’s most current CMM.
Components shall be repaired for the specific fault noted on the DD Form 1577-2,
Unserviceable (Repairable) Tag-Material, or CG-1577-A (11-90), Unsatisfactory Report Tag,
which will be attached to each non-RFI item. The contractor shall perform an inspection and
correct deficiencies found. This shall include, but is not limited to, replacement of missing or
broken parts and the removal of any foreign matter or corrosion. In addition, the vendor
must have the capability of releasing, capturing, re-using and/or refilling, and disposing
of (as applicable) the existing extinguishing agent, and to complete successful
hydrostatic testing on each extinguisher bottle to establish a new start date of the 5-year
testing requirement.
4. During inspection and functional test, the presence of corrosion in a component shall
constitute reason for a more thorough disassembly and inspection. Should corrosion be
found, disassembly shall be made to the extent necessary to remove corrosion or replace the
part, or parts, affected. Corroded parts shall be replaced, except in those cases where
removal of corrosion from a part will not impair efficiency or safe operation of the part.
Corrosion removal and treatment of affected areas will be accomplished IAW Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Advisory Circular AC 43-4B, dated 09/11/2018, Corrosion Control for Aircraft.
5. Work under this purchase order shall be performed at the contractor’s facility or USCG
approved facility. The contractor shall provide all necessary parts, materials, labor, tooling,
test equipment and facilities to evaluate and repair the components listed in this purchase
order at the firm-fixed prices listed in the schedule. If any parts or materials are not available
to the Contractor and need to be provided as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), the
Contractor must make this requirement known in writing to the Contracting Officer for
approval and indicate the reason they are unable to provide and the quantity for each GFE
needed per component to be repaired. The contractor shall perform repair IAW applicable

OEM’s Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs), other repair specifications in lieu of an
applicable CMM, and/or applicable test/acceptance criteria. Any deviations must be
approved by the USCG.
6. The contractor must have access to required CMMs, repair specifications and/or
test/acceptance criteria and any other required data to ensure all components are tested and
repaired IAW the OEM’s current specifications and procedures. The USCG may review
repair manuals and performance/test/ acceptance criteria as required. Original design or
functional capabilities of the end item and parts thereof shall not be changed unless
authorized or directed by the requirements of this SOW.
7. The Contractor must have access to all applicable documents and obtain current editions of
all applicable documents. The USCG does not own nor can it provide the technical
documents specified herein. Neither the closing date for receipt of offers nor contract award
will be delayed pending receipt of these documents for any offeror.
8. Parts of a component found to be in a serviceable condition as a result of functional testing
shall be reused. Missing parts and parts found to be defective or that require replacement by
manufacturer’s instructions shall be replaced with parts meeting the manufacturer’s
specifications and drawings or as otherwise authorized in writing by SRR Engineering.
Replacement parts shall be new and accompanied with OEM traceability. The cost for parts
that are replaced systematically during repair shall be included in the price listed in the
schedule for these operations. Parts in serviceable condition from any Engine Extinguisher
which would be found BER, can be used on other Engine Extinguisher(s) in this order as
necessary if it could restore them to RFI condition.
9. Prices do not include components that have been cannibalized or severely damaged due to
mishandling or crash damage. Additionally, the H-65 helicopter is used primarily around salt
water at low altitude for search and rescue missions. Therefore, corrosion is to be anticipated
and is considered "normal" for the aircraft. Corrosion does not constitute unusual damage.
The USCG will be notified of components found to have excessive corrosion which may
dictate an exclusion from the prices specified in the contract schedule. Such components
shall be inspected, repair costs determined, and authorization to proceed obtained from the
contract officer prior to commencement of work.
10. Components received which indicate obvious misuse, cannibalization or severe dam…
