Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "Attachment 2 - Terms and Conditions," provides the contract terms and conditions applicable to any order awarded as a result of the solicitation. It supersedes all other terms and conditions and constitutes acceptance of all terms and conditions upon order acceptance.

• Provisions: Includes instructions to offerors (52.212-1) and evaluation criteria (52.212-2). The evaluation criteria state that the acquisition is expected to be a sole source to Textron Systems Corporation (Cage Code 97384), with award based on fair and reasonable pricing and affirmative responsibility. If other responsible sources respond, offers will be evaluated on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) basis.
• Technical Acceptability: Evaluated as "acceptable" or "unacceptable" for calibration services as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Specific items requiring calibration are listed with part numbers and manufacturers.
• Evaluation Method: Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If it's not acceptable, the process continues with the next lowest priced offer.
• Full Text Provisions: Incorporates various FAR and HSAR clauses by reference, including those related to authorized deviations, security prohibitions, trade agreements, and sustainable products.
• Addendum: Details Quality Assurance requirements, including immediate notification of any non-conformities, contractor's quality control manual, and notification of changes. It also outlines specific Packaging and Shipping Instructions for the USCG Aviation Logistics Center, including required labeling and prohibited packaging materials. Inspection and Acceptance criteria are defined, requiring a Certificate of Conformance (COC) and full traceability.
• Delivery Terms: F.O.B. Destination is requested.
• Invoicing Instructions: Outlines requirements for submitting invoices, including having active SAM status and using electronic payments.

This document is critical for bidders as it outlines the contractual framework, evaluation criteria, and specific requirements for the opportunity. It details the basis for award, technical acceptability standards, and numerous mandatory clauses and provisions that will govern the contract. Bidders must carefully review all incorporated clauses and the addendum to understand their obligations regarding quality assurance, packaging, shipping, inspection, acceptance, and invoicing. The sole-source nature of the acquisition and the LPTA evaluation for non-incumbent offerors are key considerations.

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition, specifically for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It details the rationale for a sole-source acquisition.

• Authority: FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.
• Justification Type: Only One Source Is Available.
• Supplies/Services: Calibration of ABE Model 310A (White) SN 000269 and Calibration of MH-60T Adapter Set SN 100001.
• Intended Use: For items used on the MH-60T aircraft.
• Suggested Source: TEXTRON SYSTEMS CORPORATION.
• Rationale: Textron Systems Corporation is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for calibration/repair. These items are complex, require unique production techniques and testing, and are the only ones approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. The OEM is the only known source with the ability to support the required services.
• Price Determination: Market Research and Comparison of Proposed Price with Prices Found Reasonable on Previous Purchases were used.

This document indicates that the U.S. Coast Guard intends to procure calibration services for specific MH-60T aircraft components on a sole-source basis from Textron Systems Corporation. Bidders interested in this type of work or who believe they could provide these services should note the justification for sole-source acquisition and the specific items and services involved.
