7.6 Pricing Exclusions – Unusual Damage

7.6.1 General

The USCG intends that all components specified in the schedule of supplies/services will be shipped for the repair/overhaul within the firm-fixed prices established in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. Those components may be determined unusually damaged. To be determined unusually damaged, a component must be received for routine repair and upon evaluation any one of the following conditions are discover:

Obvious misuse Crash damage Acts of God

Only components meeting one or more of the above criteria may be consider as Unusually Damaged. Missing piece parts does not include the parts that are to be systematically change out per the CMM; the USCG shall not be charged for these parts.

The quote shall include the Task Order Number, Line Item, NSN, P/N, and S/N of the component. The Contractor’s delivery obligation shall stop from the date of notification that an item has been determined to be a candidate for “Unusual Damage Evaluation.” The delivery obligation will be specified in the Task Order modification and will apply only to those items specifically addressed by the modification. The Contractor is obligated to deliver all other components not individually addressed by the modification under the original delivery date specified on the Task Order. The quote shall not include the work involved in the teardown and inspection, which will have already occurred, as this is cover by the firm-fixed price. The Contracting Officer will either initiate negotiations for a firm-fixed price with the Contractor or deny authorization for the repair based on the information in the report and any other information, which may be available. Upon mutual agreement as to price and delivery a Task Order modification will be issued authorizing the repair or overhaul at the agreed upon terms. If repair/overhaul is not desired, the Contracting Officer will provide the Contractor with disposition instructions for the Non-RFI item.
