Tensile Tester Calibration and Repair

Questions and Answers

20 September 2017

1- Q: On Page 9 of the PWS there is a Note that says the following that I have copied here:

“Note: If above listed equipment requires replacement, then contractor shall perform calibration on replaced equipment without changing the terms of the contract. The

Government will ensure that any equipment that is replaced is an OEM or equivalent item.”

Can you explain this? Does this mean, if one of the covered pieces of equipment is declared irreparable and must be replaced with a new purchased, that that new equipment shall automatically replace the old (irreparable) equipment in the Contract?

A: That is correct, if during the contract one of the items on page 9 of the PWS is deemed irreparable and is replaced then the new piece of equipment will replace the irreparable item on the contract. The intent of the sentence is to clarify that for the duration of the contract, the same type and number of items on page 9 will require the services described in the PWS whether or not they remain the same or if an item is replaced.
