Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAV AF): The Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAV AF) application provides a web-based, automated method of tracking Government owned reparable assets as they flow through the remanufacture cycle at the contractor's remanufacture facility. The main purpose of CAV AF is to provide an inventory management system for reparable assets while they are at commercial repair remanufacture vendors. CAV AF on the World Wide Web allows the contractor to report transactions as they occur. These transactions automatically update the CAV AF database. An integrated, relational database allows the commercial remanufacture vendors to access their remanufacture data to produce all the required status and activity reports. The Contractor shall manage and report all assets within the CA VAF System or equivalent AF system, available at https://www.cavaf.com. Accurate and timely reporting of maintenance transactions into CAV AF is critical to the management of remanufacture requirements and the management of world-wide asset distribution. Contractor is required to comply with all CAV AF requirements identified in the CDRLs and attachments to the contract. Additionally, upon completion of the remanufacture, the Contractor shall print the DD1348-1 (in triplicate) from CAV AF.

QDR Process: The Government shall utilize the QDR Process to return an End Item that was manufactured / remanufactured, or repaired by the contractor, for which a quality problem is suspected. In the event that the Government believes that the issuance of a QDR is necessitated against an item, the Government and contractor shall do the following:

The Government shall notify the Cognizant DCMA Representative of the pending action. This notification shall include but not be limited to: National Stock Number (NSN), Part Number, Serial Number (if known), date of discrepancy, reason for discrepancy, any other pertinent information related to the issuance of the QDR.

DCMA shall notify the appropriate contractor quality representative of the pending QDR and provide all information received in para 6.2.1 above.

The Government shall have the discrepant item shipped to the appropriate contractor facility as soon as possible after notification to the contractor. Refer to the corresponding disposition instructions provided by DCMA.

The contractor shall perform all evaluations, tests, and analysis required to:

Confirm, if possible, the stated discrepancy and actual failure mode.

Ascertain the applicable root cause and corrective action.

The AF/DCMA/Contractor team shall then determine responsibility, contractor’s or Government’s, for returning the item to a serviceable condition.

The contractor shall report the findings in accordance with CDRL A005.

The Contractor shall honor, and process as required by this provision, all QDR notices received for new spares, remanufactured, or repaired items delivered under this contract. Following the final effective date of this contract, the contractor shall honor any QDR notice received within 12 months of delivery. During the life of this contract, for PQDRs, the Contractor must receive QDR notice within 24 months of delivery of the item. For all deliveries made during the last year of the contract, the effective length of time available for receipt of a QDR notice is the balance of time remaining on the contract plus 12 months. In the event of the determination of the findings of the QDR is that the contractor is at fault, the government expects that the asset will be reworked and brought back into serviceable condition, including passing acceptance test procedures again, at no cost to the government; and returned either back to the field unit or to Hill AFB. The contractor will request disposition once the asset is returned to serviceable condition IAW the applicable Technical Order.

In the event the final determination for the QDR returned unit is “No Fault Found (NFF)”, or any other category indicating that no deficiencies were found, the contractor will submit a proposal to the Government for the evaluation, test, and analysis costs. Disposition will be given to either return the asset back to Hill AFB for further investigation or for the asset to be reworked and brought back into serviceable condition, including passing acceptance test procedures again. The contractor will request disposition at the end of the findings of the QDR. In the event that the government wants to do further investigations, the contractor will submit a request for reimbursement of the Test and Evaluation and transportation costs back to the government’s location and such costs will be processed under an applicable Test and Evaluation CLIN of this contract. It is the intent of the Government to reasonably compensate the contractor for work required under the QDR Process when returned items meet the above-mentioned NFF condition. The failure of the parties to agree on reasonable compensation shall be a dispute, subject to dispute provisions of this contract.

Surveillance Matrix: The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) is delegated the quality assurance responsibilities. The DCMA will participate in the surveillance of the contract IAW their approved surveillance plans.

GENERAL

The contractor shall be responsible for all tasks involved with the essential remanufacture of the KC-135

APU as specified by the applicable end item TOs, manufacturer's specifications, or other directives such as Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTOs). The government will provide a copy of the most current TO IAW TO 00-5-1, Chapter 6.4, Contractor requirements. Submission requirements can be researched and processed at https://www.dla.mil/Logistics- Operations/Services/JCP/.

The contractor shall furnish all parts, plant facilities, labor, and equipment necessary to perform inspection, repair, remanufacture, and replacement of necessary components, functional/acceptance testing and calibration. End Items shall be restored to a serviceable condition that will enable them to perform their intended function. The contractor shall make no unauthorized modifications to any item.

The contractor shall receive, disassemble, inspect, repair, and remanufacture each end item and components, when applicable, to restore the items to serviceable condition.

Parts or material used shall be equal to or exceed the original requirements of technical data cited herein. In the event deviation from the technical data is required, and the contractor desires the use of a substitute part, an approval request in letter form will be submitted through the ACO to the Program Manager who will obtain the appropriate engineering approval. A copy of the request and any subsequent approvals shall be forwarded to DCMA QAR for informational purposes.

Reworked component parts of the end-item shall meet serviceable criteria IAW technical data cited herein.

Maintenance on the repairable end items and components shall be accomplished using only current technical data.

If any applicable USAF approved technical data requires changes, revisions, amendments, or supplements after award of contract, and an increase or decrease in work requirements is involved, the ACO shall be informed of the documented changes, prior to work being accomplished.

Over and Above (O&A) requests can be made to the Program Management Team for missing parts, damaged parts, and required modifications within 48 hours of knowledge of the discrepancy.

We expect that the Over and Above process for any other shortcomings should be rare. The Depot Failure Factor Report will be provided during the proposal process and notes what the Cherry Point Depot commonly sees as failures on the APU. Items on the Depot Failure Factor Report will not be reimbursed separately under the 'Over & Above CLIN' but shall be considered in the contractor's proposal for remanufacture of the APU

SPECIFIC WORK REQUIREMENTS

Remanufacture: Accomplishment of the specific work requirements will be in accordance with OEM specified test, remanufacture, and remanufacture manuals or as otherwise stated by Government Specifications and TOs listed herein. If the contractor has any deviations, they shall notify the PCO prior to work being accomplished. For assets requested by the contractor to require Over and Above (O&A) work, the contractor shall forward detailed remanufacture actions necessary to return the asset to serviceable condition, delineating required actions, parts (noun, NSN, part number), and costs, through the PCO, to the 419 SCMS Program Office who provides the O&A Request to the Equipment Specialist and Engineer, for determination. Information gathered during the initial inspection should be documented. Retain any evidence of possible Over and Above issues to show Beyond Fair Wear and Tear (BFWT) or catastrophic failure. Moreover, units received with missing parts or units with an unusual premature failure, damaged from improper packaging, being dropped prior to packaging, fire, overheating, accident, submersion, misapplication of power, inept attempts at maintenance, abnormal wear, mis-configured, foreign object damage (FOD), excessive corrosion due to lack of proper preservation, lack of lubrication or other unusual damage may also be considered Over & Above and not conditions included in the fixed remanufacture pricing. If BFWT or catastrophic failure is suspected, as a minimum, photos of the damaged equipment shall be taken, and a narrative of the findings shall be sent to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO). Final judgment on suspected BFWT or catastrophic failure will be made by the PCO, in coordination with the 419 SCMS program office. Work shall not commence until a bilateral modification has been fully executed by both parties. Over and above remanufactures must be remanufactured and returned within a negotiated time and documented on the contract modification. The individual assets that require Over and Above remanufacture will be listed as separately identifiable subline items under the informational parent Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN). These subline items will include the necessary asset identifying information, including the part and/or serial number, dollar amount that exceeds the standard unit price to remanufacture the asset, inspection and acceptance information, and specified delivery schedule.

Disassembly: The contractor shall disassemble each APU to the extent necessary to accomplish inspection and determine reparability of the end item and component parts. Parts identified as needing a required modification or replacement must be reported within 2 business days to the Program Management Team.

Cleaning: The contractor shall clean the end-item thoroughly prior to inspection and maintain cleanliness during this remanufacture effort.

Paint Removal: The paint shall be removed from each end item and component parts as necessary to complete the inspection process.

Inspection: The contractor shall accomplish a thorough inspection of each APU to determine the reusability and reparability of the end item and component parts.

Remanufacture: The APU shall be completely remanufactured in accordance with the appropriate OEM specifications and procedures to produce a serviceable end item.

Acceptance Testing:

Upon completion of remanufacture, the Contractor shall fully test the APU in accordance with

OEM requirements.

The Contractor shall complete a full final inspection in accordance with OEM specifications.

Marking and Packaging: The marking and packaging shall be in accordance with the Special

Packaging Instructions (SPI), TO 00-85B-3, How to package AF spares.

Delivery Schedule: The delivery of serviceable APU, P/N 4550063, shall be IAW the contractually agreed delivery schedule.

Routine, Mission Impaired Capability Awaiting Parts (MICAP), Surge, And Essential

Dod Contractor Services: The Contractor shall be responsible for returning serviceable assets in the time set forth in this contract. In the event that the Government requires an asset for coverage of a MICAP requirement, or to pre-populate/pre-position stock in order to urgently improve readiness, the Contractor agrees to enter into negotiations with the Government to expedite delivery of the needed asset(s).

Shipping Information: Contractor is required to comply with all CAVAF requirements identified in the CDRLs and attachments to the contract. Additionally, upon completion of the remanufacture, the contractor is required to print the DD1348-1 (in triplicate) from CAV AF. Place one copy on the outside of the shipment container, one copy inside the shipment container, and retain the third copy for the contractor’s records.

Government Acceptance Inspection: All work will be subject to government acceptance inspection and shall conform to this work specification, the technical orders and other applicable directives.

Beyond Economic Repair (BER):

For assets determined by the contractor to be BER, the contractor shall forward detailed remanufactured actions necessary to return assets to serviceable condition delineating required actions, parts (noun, NSN, part number), and costs, through the PCO to the 419 SCMS Program Office who provides to the Equipment Specialist and Engineer, for determination/disposition.

Costs shall be for those components and sub-components over and above remanufacture actions included in the remanufacture CLIN of those assets and included in the Bill of Materials (BOM) with associated replacement supporting those CLIN costs.

If the asset is deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER) by the contractor, then the government program team will verify claims of BER based on documentation and pictures provided by the contractor through the PCO. If the engineer concurs and the end item includes salvageable Air Force managed component parts, disposition instruction will be provided for those parts. 419 SCMS will then either request through the PCO that the PCO modifies the delivery order to provide disposition to scrap at contractor’s facility, or have contractor send asset back to supply, and in either case the BER asset will be replaced by an asset under the delivery order.

Beyond Economical Repair CLIN is meant to reimburse for screening efforts when assets are identified not to be feasibly overhauled remanufactured before work takes place and not meant to compensate all troubleshooting efforts on an item after the work is done. All costs Contractor expects to be compensated above remanufacture price must be negotiated before work is to be performed. The individual asset that is deemed Beyond Economical Repair will be listed as a separately identifiable subline item under the informational parent Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). The subline item will include the necessary asset identifying information, including the part and/or serial number, unit and total cost for the asset’s screening efforts, specified delivery schedule, and pertinent condemnation information.

The contractor shall follow disposition instructions provided by the Program Office through the PCO. Scrap disposal shall be at no additional cost to the government.

Induct At Risk: The contractor is allowed to induct at risk. Induct at risk allows the contractor to assume the risk of any activity with regard to remanufacture of an asset before formal induction.

Normally this action would be implemented, but not limited to, allowing the contractor to maintain workflow and support, based on forecasted/pending contractual requirements.

Cannibalization: Cannibalization of piece part/sub-components from unserviceable assets and creating a situation where assets are Beyond Economic Repair shall not be done. The contractor is allowed to borrow components from assets waiting remanufacture to maintain workflow and schedule, but such actions must be documented and available for review upon request by the Government, and components must be replaced at no additional cost to the Government. The contractor will be allowed to retain condemned units for cannibalization of spare parts upon review from the 419 SCMS program office and approval through the Contracting Officer. The contractor shall identify any remaining cannibalized parts prior to the end of the contract for final contract disposition.

Delayed Induction: Any delay of induction based on the condition of the asset is prohibited. It is understood that some assets require a greater degree of remanufacture than others. Such a situation shall not preclude the asset from being inducted for remanufacture and result in the asset being set aside for the induction of assets needing less remanufacture. This situation is calculated into the remanufacture price using replacement percentages in the BOMs developed for all assets under this contract.

Item Unique Identification (IUID) Marking:

The Contractor shall replace damaged or missing markings, identification, and decals. IUID markings are required for all end items and subcomponents to the end item IAW the Technical Data listed in Section 13.

Each completed end-item will be permanently and legibly marked with the Contractor’s facility identification. This identification will display the name of the Contractor facility, date of maintenance and contract number. This identification can be by decalcomania, rubber stamp, or stencil. When using a rubber stamp or stencil, use permanent, waterproof ink or paint of contrasting color; also, end-item identification plates shall reflect the latest configuration/update, i.e., National Stock Number (NSN), Part Number as applicable.

For items that do not have an IUID marking specifications the Contractor shall develop the marking specifications in accordance with the latest version of MIL-STD-130N.

IUID markings currently in place on items undergoing remanufacture shall be protected from damage or removal during remanufacture. Ensure 2-D matrix IUID markings are readable per TO 00-25-260. Should IUID marking be rendered unreadable during, the overhaul Contractor shall notify the ACO for determination.

IUID markings which will be potentially destroyed during remanufacture due to technical direction (i.e. paint removal, sand blasting, etc.) shall be recorded prior to maintenance action and replaced with the same Unique Item Identifier (UII) as part of the remanufacture action.

The Contractor shall submit the required and applicable data for legacy items to the DoD IUID Registry per the data submission procedures at https://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/faqs/iuid-faqs/iuid-registry.

Fast Transportation: The contractor shall ship serviceable end items via overnight service in accordance with FAR 52.247-32.

Program Management Team (PM): The contractor shall designate a Program Management Team of their choosing to manage all aspects of this contract and ensure contractor performance. The contractor shall designate POCs for Contractor and Government interface and problem resolution.

Production Meeting: There shall be a production meeting, via teleconference, held bimonthly following delivery of assets to be remanufactured at a mutually agreed time.

Specific: Remanufactured end items shall be subject to a Product Verification Audit if requested by the Government. To perform a Product Verification Audit, the Government shall be permitted to select at random such quantities of end items as may be necessary to determine quality of workmanship and materials.

Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance System: The Contractor shall establish and maintain an acceptable counterfeit electronic part detection and avoidance system and submit their plan to the government. A counterfeit part or material is an item that is an unlawful or unauthorized reproduction, substitution, or alteration that has been knowingly mismarked, misidentified, or otherwise misrepresented to be an authentic, unmodified electronic part from the original manufacturer, or a source with the express written authority of the original manufacturer or current design activity, including an authorized aftermarket manufacturer. Unlawful or unauthorized substitution includes used electronic parts represented as new, or the false identification of grade, serial number, lot number, date code, or performance characteristics (R-DFARS 202.101) http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/data_submission_information.html http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/data_submission_information.html

Examples of counterfeit parts/materials include but are not limited to:

(1) Items which do not contain the proper internal construction (die, manufacturer, wire bonding, etc.) consistent with the ordered item.

(2) Items which have been used, refurbished or reclaimed, but represented as new products.

(3) Items which have different package style, surface plating/finish, or anodization/treatment than the ordered items.

(4) Items which have not successfully completed the OCM’s full production and test flow but are represented as completed product.

(5) Items sold as upscreened, which have not successfully completed upscreening.

(6) Items sold with modified labeling or markings intended to misrepresent the item’s form, fit, function, or grade.

Note: Some of the examples above may be more correctly defined as fraudulent parts.

However, the term ‘counterfeit’ in this document applies to both fraudulent and counterfeit parts.

Counterfeit Prevention Plan (CPP): Contractors that supply electronic parts or systems that contain electronic parts shall establish policies and procedures to avoid, detect, mitigate and disposition counterfeit electronic parts to prevent such parts from entering the USAF/DoD supply chain. These policies and procedures shall be documented in a CPP for submission and approval in accordance with IAW CDRL A010, Data Item Description (DID) DI- MISC-81832 and accomplished for all specified contract items. DI-MISC-81832 is applicable to Parts, Material and Processes Selection (PMPS) associated with delivery of systems and assemblies to the USAF and DoD. The requirements established by DI-MISC- 81832 also apply to electronics components procured in sustainment of such systems and assemblies. The requirements of the recently adopted DoD-adopted SAE 5553, Aerospace Standard, Counterfeit Electronics Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition shall also apply. This plan must be submitted NLT 30 days after award of contract.

At a minimum, the CPP shall address:

a. Applicability. The Contractor shall identify all Business locations and programs to which the CPP applies. The CPP shall address materials, hardware, electronic parts, and procured assemblies.

b. Definitions. The Contractor shall utilize definitions per AS 5553 to ensure consistency. Any contractor-derived definitions must be included in an appropriate CPP appendix or annex. (Ref. AS5553 paragraph 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, appendix H)

c. Parts Availability and Use of Parts Brokers. The Contractor shall not procure materials, systems, assemblies, subassemblies or parts from parts Brokers when available from Original Manufacturers (OM) or their Authorized Distributors. In cases where materials, systems, assemblies, subassemblies or parts are no longer available from the OM or their Authorized Distributors, procurement from Brokers may be authorized as defined by the Contractor’s policy and their CPP. (Ref.

AS5553, paragraph 4.1.1, 4.1.2.e., appendix A)

Procurement Policies. The Contractor shall provide and implement policy directing development and implementation of business practices and procedures, and processes to prevent procurement of Counterfeit materials and parts. The Contractor shall identify the appropriate office(s), business units, functional organizations, and programs, who shall have responsibility for development, maintenance and implementation of the CPP. The CPP shall identify the specific roles and responsibility for each. (Ref. AS5553, paragraph 4.1.2, 4.1.3, appendix B, C, D)

Risk Assessment. The contract shall address the risk of using unknown sources and or unauthorized suppliers in the CPP. Application or technical risk assessments shall establish the effect that counterfeit parts may have on performance. Vendor or sources of supply risk assessments shall establish the potential for obtaining counterfeit parts. Using any risk analysis tool acceptable to the Government, the Contractor shall conduct a risk assessment based upon item characteristics and how likely it is that a counterfeit part will be received.

The contractor shall identify and describe in the CPP how parts are selected for assessment and what risk is acceptable based upon the parts design, construction, material and functional requirements. As a minimum, analysis shall be completed for flagging high risk items, such as items that are obsolete, discontinued, rare, etc. The contractor shall require completion of a trade study, documented within the CPP, that shall facilitate determining whether 100% testing of parts procured from after-market sources is more cost effective than qualification or requalification of a manufacturer. (Ref. AS5553, paragraph 4.1.2, 4.1.3, appendix B, C, D)

Detection and Avoidance Responsibilities. The Contractor shall establish processes for the review and approval of contractor and applicable subcontractor systems for the detection and avoidance of counterfeit electronic parts and suspect counterfeit electronic parts, which processes shall be comparable to the processes established for contractor business systems under section 893 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383; 124 Stat. 4311; 10 U.S.C. 2302 note). The Contractor shall flow down such requirements and processes to their subcontractors per ODASD Memo titled “Overarching DoD Counterfeit Prevention Guidance”, dated 16 March 2012. (Ref.

AS5553, paragraph 4.1.4, 4.1.5, appendix E)

Testing and Verification. The Contractor shall establish and accomplish testing and verification processes for items not received from an original equipment manufacturer, original component manufacturer, or authorized distributor that are identified as having high risk for counterfeit potential. These processes apply to prime contracts, and to subcontracts or suppliers below the prime contracts. The Contractor shall provide a list of acceptable test facilities if the subcontractor or supplier does not have the capability to perform required testing. Submittal of Certificates of Compliance indicating the parts are not counterfeit shall be acceptable for verification of testing. (Ref. AS5553, paragraph 4.1.4, appendix E)

Configuration Identification and Traceability. The Contractor shall identify and control the configurations of all systems, assemblies, subassemblies and parts, and enable mechanisms to provide traceability of parts. The Contractor shall report to the Government when control of the configurations of all systems, assemblies, subassemblies and parts, and mechanisms to provide traceability of parts are not possible. The Contractor shall identify the specific systems, assemblies, subassemblies and parts beyond the Contractors control. The Contractor shall be responsible for detecting and avoiding the use or inclusion of counterfeit materials and parts, to include procured assemblies and subassemblies, in such products and shall be responsible for the rework or corrective action that may be required to resolve the use or inclusion of counterfeit materials and parts. The cost of counterfeit electronic parts and suspect counterfeit electronic parts and the cost of rework or corrective action that may be required to remedy the use of inclusion of such parts are not allowable costs under Department contracts, unless:

a) the contractor has established a counterfeit avoidance/detection system approved by the DoD,

b) the counterfeit parts were procured from a DoD-accredited trusted supplier or provided as government property, and

c) the contractor has provided timely notification to the government. (Ref. AS5553, paragraph 4.1.6, appendix F)

Counterfeit Notification and Reporting. The Contractor shall report in writing to the Procuring Activity within 30 days of determining any end item, component, part, or material contained in supplies purchased by the Department of Defense or purchased by a contractor or subcontractor for delivery to, or on behalf of the Department, contains counterfeit electronic parts or suspect counterfeit electronic parts for the purpose of investigation and notification of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI). The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) shall coordinate reporting to the appropriate Program Management/Item Management, System Engineering Management, the AFMC Discrepant Materiel Reporting Program (DMRP) Office in 406 SCMS/GULAB, and the AFOSI. Additionally, the Contractor shall within the same 30-day period ensure all suspected or confirmed counterfeit items are entered into the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) system, which will serve as the DoD central reporting repository. (Ref. AS5553, paragraph 4.1.7, appendix G)
