Background
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) operates 18 HC-144 (CN235-300M MPSA) series medium range surveillance aircraft manufactured by CASA. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is responsible for program depot maintenance, supply support, technical/engineering support, and contracting related to the HC-144.

The aircraft is equipped to perform various USCG missions including search and rescue, maritime safety, security, logistics, national defense, and protection of natural resources. This solicitation seeks to establish a contract for integral fuel tank repair services for these aircraft.

Work Details
The contractor shall perform sealant removal of specified internal tank surfaces to prepare them for non-destructive testing as required by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Airworthiness Limitations Inspection. After inspection by ALC, the contractor will re-seal the specified internal tank surface areas according to USCG standards.

The contractor is responsible for all necessary functions including tooling, manuals, test equipment, parts, materials, engineering services, management, maintenance, documentation, and preservation. A warranty plan must be established to cover all repair work and services provided. The contractor must be a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Authorized Repair Center with experience in repairing CN235 fuel tanks and must be ISO 9000 compliant or have an acceptable quality system.

The contractor shall provide all parts, labor, tooling, and test equipment necessary for evaluating and sealing the aircraft fuel tanks. Specific sealants PR-1782 or PR-1422 must be used in conjunction with required seal caps; sealant Z-16.201 is prohibited.

Period of Performance
The geographic location(s) the contract will be performed (if provided)

Place of Performance
The work will be completed on-site at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC).

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must have experience in effectively repairing aircraft CN235 fuel tanks and must be a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Authorized Repair Center. They should also be ISO 9000 compliant or have a quality system acceptable to the Coast Guard.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Davcor Aviation Services previously awarded integral fuel tank repair work for the same HC-144 aircraft under contracts 70Z03826PL0000005 (value $24,383; 04/07/26–05/11/26) and 70Z03825PL0000006 (value $24,234; 05/12/25–07/25/25). The current requirement similarly calls for integral fuel tank repair actions at the USCG Aviation Logistics Center, including sealant removal, non-destructive testing preparation per OEM airworthiness limitations inspection, and resealing using specified sealants. The repeated focus on HC-144 integral fuel tank repair suggests the prior work is a continuation of the same maintenance effort.
