Non-BU 7.0/8.1 Aircraft Maintenance Actions and Discrepancies

2.1.37 Over and Above (O&A). “Over and above work” means work discovered during the course of performing overhaul, maintenance, and repair efforts that is—

(i) Within the general scope of the contract;

(ii) Not covered by the line item(s) for the basic work under the contract; and

(iii) Necessary in order to satisfactorily complete the contract.

O&A issues are NOT related to the actual physical installation of the BU 7.0/8.1 TCTOs nor any maintenance actions included with general movement or upkeep of the aircraft during the time it is in residence at the Contractor’s facility. For example, towing, inspections, records maintenance, movement of other aircraft, ACF preparation, ground servicing, etc. is not considered O&A as it is considered part of the modification and general upkeep of the aircraft while in residence and included in the CLIN for the modification itself. O&A are issues identified during the pre-induction inspection, the installation effort, final inspections, ACF preparation, during ACF, or identified and directed by the USG.

Aircraft actions and discrepancies shall be resolved under the O&A provisions included in Attachment 5 and must be completed by certified and/or qualified maintenance technicians and (like the modification) overseen by certified maintenance technicians. Certified and qualified maintenance technicians shall have the qualifications described in the Data Dictionary, Attachment 3. Certified maintenance technicians shall be responsible for, and provide oversite and quality checks of, qualified maintenance technicians during authorized installation and avionics and maintenance work.

2.1.38 Repairs and Corrective Actions. The Contractor shall identify needed repairs and recommended corrective action for non-modification-related, aircraft discrepancies identified during the installation. The Contractor shall also advise if the corrective action must be accomplished to continue the install (i.e., a prerequisite to maintenance or safety of flight and execution of the ATP cycle) and anticipated duration of the corrective action, or if the work can be deferred until after DD250. The Contractor shall notify the C-130 PMO/DCMA via telephone and in writing NLT 0800 local time the next business day. The Contractor shall follow up in writing NLT four (4) hours as to the scope of the maintenance concern, required TOs and support equipment (if any), and shall request disposition guidance. If a maintenance action is approved and not covered by an existing TO, then the Contractor shall notify the C-130J PMO to obtain the required engineering or maintenance assistance for proper disposition and procedures or approaches to correct the identified discrepancy. The Contractor shall document all discrepancies requiring aircraft maintenance in the aircraft forms.

2.1.39 Discrepancy Authorizations. The USG will decide on a case-by-case basis if each discrepancy shall be worked by the Contractor, USG team at the Contractor's facility, or left unresolved. The Contractor shall not perform any work until authorization for that work is received from the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO). Support equipment (if any) and applicable TOs for that work will be authorized by the PCO. "CANN" (Cannibalization): A cannibalization request is for the movement of parts from one aircraft to another, in the event that the supply system cannot provide the part. Cannibalization will only be used as a last resort and must be approved and executed according to the attached O&A procedures. The C-130J Retrofit Logistics Manager will coordinate with the USAF Command and provide guidance to DCMA Quality Assurance Specialist (QAS) regarding cannibalization requests.

2.1.40 Maintenance Notifications. For O&A requirements, Contractor shall follow O&A direction included in Attachment 5 and notify DCMA of the scope of the maintenance issue, required TOs and support equipment (if any). The Contractor’s O&A request shall include the estimated maintenance labor categories, to include engineering, and labor-hours required; and total project cost (labor and material). The Contractor shall continue the installation on a noninterference basis for the O&A while waiting for direction. The USG will notify the Contractor the USG’s preferred disposition (i.e., Contractor repair, delay repair, Field team repair, etc.) of the maintenance issue. If the maintenance issue is approved for Contractor repair, then the Contractor repair shall require USG acceptance given by the PCO through the ACO. Any O&A issue that results in a delay to the installation being completed shall not prevent the Contractor from receiving the next aircraft IAW the agreed upon schedule.

2.1.41 Maintenance Contractual Direction. Once contractual direction is received, the Contractor shall execute the maintenance action IAW the referenced TO(s). If the maintenance action falls within the CKI Mandatory Government Inspection (MGI) list, it shall conclude with the completion of a physical inspection—specific to the requirement and IAW the referenced TO, to include documentation of the corrective action and clearing of the discrepancy in the applicable aircraft forms after USG inspection and acceptance.

Loss, Damage, and Destruction (LDD) The Contractor shall document LDD items and notify the USG upon discovery of LDD items. The Contractor shall submit LDD item documentation to the C-130J PMO/DCMA for review and disposition NLT twenty-four (24) hours from when the LDD is identified. The Contractor shall, when authorized by the USG, complete repair or replacement.
