042-4 Alternate Items

Where boat components and equipment are specified by brand name or manufacturer and model number or equal, such identification is intended to be descriptive, not restrictive, and is intended to indicate the required characteristics of the product.

The Government will not accept alternative items for brand name or manufacturer and model specified in the following Sections:

236-2 Outboard Engines

313-1 Batteries

422-1 Integrated Electronic Navigation Package

433-1 Intercom System

441-1 VHF Marine Band Radio

441-2 VHF/UHF Multiband Radio

450-1 Infrared Thermal Imaging System

529-2 Electric Bilge Pump

600-5 EPIRB

Except as listed directly above, the Contractor may propose the use of other products which are equal to the specified make and model products. The following general requirements shall form the basis for determining the equality of alternate products unless additional specific or alternate requirements are designated within the applicable sections of this Specification:

The major attributes of form, fit, function, interface, and material of an alternate item shall not degrade the performance of the system within which it is used; nor the boat as a whole.

The alternate item shall require no more space or volume than the designated item for installation, operation, or maintenance. The alternate item shall weigh no more than the designated item. The connection fittings required to incorporate the alternate item into a system shall be identical to those necessary to incorporate the specified item. The principles of operation of the alternate item shall be the same as those of the designated item (i.e., hydraulic cylinders shall not be used in lieu of springs, etc.). Input power, capacity, and other operating requirements for the alternate item shall be no greater than those required by the designated item. Output power, capacity, and other performance parameters of the alternate item shall be no less than those required for the designated item and not so much greater than those of the designated item as to require an increased capacity of the system within which the item is installed.

The materials of construction of the alternate item shall be the same as those of the designated item unless the Contractor can demonstrate to the Government that the proposed alternate material will not adversely affect performance or service life of the item, the system within which it is installed, or the boat as a whole.

The reliability and maintainability of an alternate item shall be equal to or better than the specified item. The Contractor shall provide evidence of the equality of the reliability and maintainability of the alternate item to the specified item. This evidence may include such things as results of testing, service histories, documentation of successful use in similar applications, planned maintenance requirements, etc. Where the reliability and maintainability of the specified item has been established by testing, the Government may require that the alternate item undergo similar testing to demonstrate its reliability and maintainability. Such testing, if required, shall be at the Contractor's expense.

An alternate item shall conform to the same industry or Government specifications or standards as the specified item. Where a specified item has been approved or certified by a regulatory or testing agency, such as USCG or Underwriters' Laboratories, the alternate item shall also be approved or certified. The cost of demonstrating compliance with specifications or standards, or of obtaining approval or certification, shall be borne by the Contractor.

If the specified item is one with established Government logistic support, any alternative item shall have equivalent logistic support. If equivalent logistic support has not been established for the alternate item, the Contractor shall bear the expense of establishing equivalent support. Logistic support shall include, as applicable: maintenance planning and analysis; training and training support, including training equipment, curricula, and instruction materials; supply support; support equipment such as special tools and test equipment; technical documentation including technical manuals, Product Technical Description (PTD), Planned Maintenance System (PMS), Technical Repair Standards (TRS), and software documentation; computer resource support; facilities for maintenance and training; unique packaging, handling, storage, and transportation requirements; and human engineering considerations.

042-5 Order of Precedence

In case of inconsistency between the requirements of the Contract, this Specification, and the documents referenced in this Specification, the following order of precedence applies:

1. The Contract requirements,

2. This Specification requirements,

3. Other Government specifications and standards, industry standards, and similar referenced documents.

The following are not considered inconsistencies subject to an order of precedence determination:

a. Silence of one document with respect to details shown in another.

b. Broad boat requirements compared to detailed system or component requirements.

042-6 Statement of Work (SOW)

This Specification is written to be used in conjunction with the SOW. Additional requirements such as warranty, packaging, delivery, training, et cetera are defined in the SOW.
