PERFORMANCE WORK SPECIFICATION (PWS)

1.0 SCOPE OF WORK: For the end item, the contractor shall furnish all facilities, parts, materials, equipment and services, required to inspect and, if necessary, restore to serviceable condition. Work consists of one of two efforts: Test, teardown, and evaluation (TT&E) only or TT&E and repair.

1.1 TEST, TEARDOWN, AND EVALUATION: The contractor shall perform visual, mechanical and electrical testing of the end item, reusable or replacement component parts, and materials according to the schedule in the contract to determine the condition of the end item. Upon completion of this task, all of the components of the end item requiring repair or replacement will be identified by part number, NSN (if applicable), nomenclature, and location in the assembly. This information will be reported in writing to the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO)/ Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and, if necessary, approval to repair will be negotiated. If no further repair is required, the asset must be returned in serviceable like new condition.

1.2 REPAIR: (FFP) The contractor shall perform the repair or replacement of all failed parts and components. Each end item must be cleaned, configured, refinished, and tested to meet the original specifications of the end item. The end item shall be returned in serviceable like new condition.

Below listed item(s) will be shipped to contractor to repair:

This PWS establishes the minimum work requirements to return the end item(s) to a serviceable but like new condition.

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge - See section 5.4): NO

2.0 WORK PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS:

2.1 TECHNICAL OR PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: Unit will meet all performance requirements of a new item. All repaired/retrofitted items will be configured and perform IAW the latest requirements of the Specification Control Drawing and Acceptance Test Plan.

2.2 OBSOLETE COMPONENTS: If obsolete components are identified, the contractor shall notify the 415 SCMS and the PCO in writing and prepare an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) IAW CDRL D001.

2.3 SUBCOMPONENT CHANGE OR REDESIGN: If needed, the contractor will identify any proposed/necessary changes to subcomponents, values, part/manufacture substitutions or redesign of subsystems to the 415 SCMS and PCO after the completion of the test, teardown and evaluation (TT&E). If the contractor proposes any internal changes to the end item, the contractor shall submit an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) IAW CDRL D001 to the 415 SCMS and the PCO for review and approval by the designated engineering authority. Submission of ECPs does not imply approval. The ECP shall include a coversheet with appropriate CUI markings, distribution statements and contract identification information. All ECP submissions shall include complete technical documentation and unlimited data rights. ECP’s shall be submitted on DD Form 1692 or an authorized alternative and approved by the approving activity. Work shall not commence until the ECP is approved, reworked or denied. If a change occurs, or a redesign to a component causes a change to the NSN, the contract will be updated to reflect the changes. If the redesign results in an increased complexity of the end item, the Government may require vendors to requalify in order to repair the asset. An out-of-cycle onboarding may take place to allow vendors to submit qualification packages or waivers.

2.4 FOREIGN DISCLOSURE RESTRICTIONS: This item contains critical technology and is export controlled. Distribution authorized to DoD and U.S. DoD Contractors only (Critical Technology).

2.5 TEST REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall perform an acceptance test of each completed end-item to assure serviceability and full functionality prior to presentation to the Government. This testing will be performed IAW existing approved test plan or IAW developed test plans approved by the Government.

2.6 QUALITY DEFICIENCY REPORTING: Any asset that fails to function within one year after date of repair, and the Government suspects failure is due to quality of workmanship, level of overhaul, or quality of replacement parts used by the contracted repair source, the asset shall be returned to the repair source for correction. This repair shall be accomplished at no additional cost to the government if deemed by 415 SCMS to be the fault of the contractor and will be delivered back to the government under the terms of the original contract. The contractor may dispute Air Force determination of responsibility through the ACO to the PCO with DCMA providing evidence that the failure was not the fault of the contractor. This measure will be accomplished by customer reported deficiencies in the form of product quality deficiency or material deficiency reports according to T.O. 00-35D-54 titled USAF Deficiency Reporting Investigation and Resolution.

3.0 PACKAGING, HANDLING, SECURITY AND TRANSPORTATION:

3.1 RECEIVING INSPECTION: Contractor shall notify the ACO/PCO along with the Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) of all damages and shortages, or discrepancies (i.e. items not packaged in accordance with applicable Special Packaging Instructions (SPI)) discovered upon receipt of any item(s). All issues must be reported back to the originating organization for disposition. If items are damaged in transit or assets are found to be misidentified during the inspection process, the ACO/PCO will request disposition instruction from the 415 SCMS. The 415 SCMS will verify if additional assets are available to resubmit to the contractor. If no assets are available, ACO/PCO will address the required changes.

3.2 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall have and maintain for the duration of the contract a current Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) status at the following CMMC level, or higher: CMMC Level 2 (Self), for all information systems used in performance of the contract, task order, or delivery order that process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI.
