C.4.4.7.4.2 Web-based Requisition Interface Procedures The Contractor must utilize the FAA Logistics Center (FAALC) CDLS vendor interface, known as the CDLS Web, see Attachment J.13, CDLS User Guide. All requisitions will be directed to the Contractor’s Point of Contact (POC) by means of Web-based copy of the requisition. The Contractor must complete all appropriate interface data fields; provide the required asset and asset return information, as well as any associated shipping information daily. The Contractor must monitor the Web-based tool for requisitions a minimum of every two (2) hours during standard working hours, defined as 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (CT), Monday – Friday, excluding weekends and Federal Holidays. The Contractor must provide a designated point of contact, by name and telephone number, who can be contacted at any time 24/7 if immediate shipment of an asset to a site is required, outside of the above standard working hours.

The Contractor must provide an RMA to the ordering site for E&R or R&R assets regarding the returned item(s) to receive returned assemblies from the sites and record information as identified in C.3.5.2.1, CDLS Program Reports, and CDRL/DID M003.

C.4.4.7.4.3 CDLS Definitions The following definitions are applicable:

a. Lowest Replaceable Unit (LRU): An essential support item that is removed and replaced at field level to restore the end item to operationally ready condition. The Contractor must procure Components/Piece parts required to support the repair of a returned LRU.

b. Serviceable Item: The condition of an item in a good state of preservation that can be placed in service in accordance with applicable manufacturer's overhaul limits and instructions and/or pertinent regulations of the FAA without repair.

c. Expendable Item: Any hardware LRU that can be removed and replaced to restore the system. An expendable LRU possesses characteristics, qualities, and low cost that makes it uneconomical to restore the defective LRU. The Contractor must procure expendables to support the repair and restoration of the CDLS systems supported. Expendables must be identical in form, fit and function to the original item.

d. Consumable Item: Any item that can be removed and replaced to restore the system. A consumable item is a low cost, non-repairable item, such as fuses, light bulbs, knobs, resistors, wire, battery terminal lugs, etc.

e. Exchange and Repair: Any hardware LRU, except expendable/consumable that when failure occurs, beyond the capability of the site technician, is returned to the Contractor after a serviceable item is received on-site. The designation of an item of supply as E&R indicates the logistics status assigned for inventory management purposes rather than the physical condition of an item. A serviceable item is sent from the Contractor to a FAA field facility upon request by the FAA Logistics Center (FAALC) Planner; and an unserviceable item is returned to the repair facility (Contractor) in exchange for the serviceable item, unless otherwise authorized.

f. Repair and Return (R&R): Any hardware LRU, except expendable/consumable that when failure occurs, beyond the capability of the site technician, is returned to the Contractor for repair and return to the facility due to item not available from stock or cannot be procured in sufficient time to satisfy the requirement.

g. Test: A test or check of equipment in its operational (or functional) environment, using equipment, procedures, and limits specified in applicable authorized manufacturer publications, manuals, specifications, and technical orders, or FAA authorized changes in procedures and limits.

C.4.4.7.4.4 CDLS Delivery Requirements The following priorities must apply for delivery of all items. The designation of priority delivery must be made by the assigned FAALC Planner. The Contractor must ship parts with the FAA priorities system, as defined below.

Priority 1: This priority is required when an extreme emergency condition exists. The situation (as judged by the supervisor or appropriately designated representative) is such that an extremely critical emergency exists which, if not corrected, has the very high potential for creating a real and present danger to the flying public. It will be used when either the prime or standby equipment is inoperative or when a facility is operating at reduced performance that adversely affects air traffic control operations. Shipment to the designated facility is to be made within twenty-four hours after receipt of notification to the vendor via the CDLS web or by the FAALC Planner. The Contractor is required to meet the delivery requirements associated with each requisition shipping priority for replacement spares and repaired parts.

Priority 2: This priority is required when an emergency condition is determined to exist. This condition exists when a facility is operating with substandard equipment or other operating conditions indicate an imminent facility failure or outage. The situation (as judged by the supervisor or appropriately designated representative) is such that a critical emergency exists which, if not corrected, has high potential for creating a real and present danger to the flying public or a disruption to the safe and expeditious flow of the nation’s air traffic. Shipment to the designated facility is to be made within 48 hours after receipt of notification to the vendor via the CDLS web or by the FAALC Planner.

Priority 5: This is a routine requirement or stock replenishment. Shipment to the designated facility is to be made within eight (8) working days after receipt of notification to the vendor via the CDLS web or by the FAALC Planner. Except as authorized herein, requisitions placed on the FAA Logistics Center by operational NAS maintenance facilities, agency administrative offices, etc., should be placed using a P-5 requisition designation. Under unusual circumstances, listed below, it may become necessary to obtain support using other than a P-5 requisition.

The Contractor must provide the FAA a 24-hour, seven (7) days a week point of contact, to include: name, phone number, and FAX number. The Contractor must fax or e-mail a shipping confirmation to AJW-L800 the FAALC Planner.

C.4.4.7.4.5 Technical and Administrative Supply Support Assistance The Contractor must provide hardware, software, and firmware technical assistance to the FAA as directed by the FAA CO/COR, for technical documentation, engineering, operational, logistical supply support, and maintenance support of hardware and software/firmware not already included elsewhere in the contract as defined in section C.3.4.6.4, Technical and Administrative Supply Support Assistance. Technical and administrative assistance is required 24/7, including after hours, weekends, and holidays.

Technical assistance includes, but is not limited to:

a. Establishment of a telephone service which provides technical experts who are fully prepared and equipped to provide guidance to FAA personnel in resolving engineering requests, operational support, logistical supply support, maintenance support and special design for adverse conditions.

b. Once a request is made, the Contractor’s technical expert must respond within four (4) working hours.

C.4.4.7.4.6 Shipment of CDLS Items Upon request by the COR, the Contractor must ship a serviceable item to the designated Government field facility. Shipping priority for those items must be furnished by the assigned FAALC Planner through the CDLS Web site. The Contractor must provide a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number with the asset for E&R or R&R items if the item requires return shipment to the Contractor for repair or evaluation. Transportation charges must be listed as a separate item on all invoices. If the items’ shipping charges for any one destination exceed $100, a copy of the waybill must be provided with the invoice. Method of shipment must be commensurate with the designated priority of the requirement and may be specifically designated by the assigned FAALC Planner. Contractor must use a traceable means of shipment. For all OCONUS shipments, any projected shipping times which do not meet the priority associated windows (e.g., P1 will not make the 24-hour window) the Contractor must immediately reach out to the CDLS COR to resolve issue and/or find other methods for delivery.

C.4.4.7.4.7 CDLS Packing, Handling, Storage and Transportation Refer to Section D, paragraph D.1 (Packing and Packaging), for detailed information on CDLS Equipment Preservation, Packaging, and Packing.

C.4.4.7.4.8 FAA Field Personnel Operating Procedures The outlined operating procedures were designed to make the requisitioning process as transparent as possible to field operating offices. Whenever possible, standard requisitioning procedures must be used.

The Logistics Supply Support System (LCSS) (on-line) requisitioning procedures augmented with FAALC 24-hour priority desk telephone service (Customer Care Center 1-888-322-9824) will be used. Field requirements received by the FAALC will be processed direct to the Contractor via the FAALC’s CDLS Web- based LCSS interface CDLS Web.

All field requirements for support must contain the item part number, item description, serial number (when applicable), and Model and Make for failed units. The ‘Application To’ (APP-TO) description must be included in the appropriate field when ordering items through LCSS or through the priority desk. When shipment is desired to a facility other than the Supply Support Code designation, this should be so indicated. Identification of Planner number on the requisition will expedite the processing of requisitions for non-cataloged items.

Requisition for non-cataloged parts will be processed in the same manner as for parts that can be identified by a NSN or IFS Part Number. A part number that has three or more non-cataloged requisitions must be evaluated for possible cataloging. For additional information, contact the FAALC Planner.

Notifications of requisition status, including cancellations or status for E&R/R&R items, will be provided to the requisitioner by the Planner via LCSS.

Repairable units on all E&R/R&R transactions will be returned directly to the Contractor. The Contractor must provide return authorization documents (RMA) for each shipment. The Contractor must track the return of the repairable items and advise the Planner of non-receipt. Note: Return of repairable items must be shipped by traceable means and accomplished within 21 calendar days after receipt of the serviceable items. The Contractor must provide the FAALC Planner with a list of failed LRUs not returned to the Contractor’s facility within 30 calendar days after shipment of serviceable asset. This list must include the LCSS Order Number, Supply Support Code (SSC), IFS/NSN/part number and point of contact (POC). The FAALC Planner will then contact the field POC to ascertain disposition of asset.

If the CDLS Web-based application is temporarily unavailable and an urgent need for shipment of an asset exists, the requisition may be identified to the Contractor by the FAALC Planner via telephone contact (numbers to be provided at the Logistics Guidance Conference), and fax of a FAA Form 4650-12 (Material Requisition/Issue Receipt). The document will include a tracking number. Shipment is not authorized until the Contractor has received a fax/email or an electronic transmittal of the requisition from the FAALC Planner.
