CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

B-215-H002 REFUNDS (SPARES AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT) (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) In the event that the price of a spare part or item of support equipment delivered under this contract significantly exceeds its intrinsic value, the Contractor agrees to refund the difference. Refunds will not be made to recoup the amount of cost decreases that occur over time due to productivity gains (excluding economic purchase quantity considerations) or changes in market conditions.

(b) For purposes of this requirement, the intrinsic value of an item is defined as follows:

(1) If the item is one which is sold or is substantially similar or functionally equivalent to one that is sold in substantial quantities to the general public, intrinsic value is the established catalog or market price, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, packaging, or labeling.

(2) If there is no comparable item sold in substantial quantities to the general public, intrinsic value is defined as the price an individual would expect to pay for the item based upon an economic purchase quantity as defined in FAR

52.207-4, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, packaging or labeling.

(c) At any time up to two years after delivery of a spare part or item of support equipment, the Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor that based on all information available at the time of the notice, the price of the part or item apparently exceeds its intrinsic value.

(d) If notified in accordance with paragraph (c) above, the Contractor agrees to enter into good faith negotiations with the Government to determine if, and in what amount, the Government is entitled to a refund.

(e) If agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above cannot be reached, and the Navy's return of the new or unused item to the Contractor is practical, the Navy, subject to the Contractor's agreement, may elect to return the item to the Contractor.

Upon return of the item to its original point of Government acceptance, the Contractor shall refund in full the price paid.

If no agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above is reached, and return of the item by the Navy is impractical, the

Contracting Officer may, with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, issue a Contracting Officer's final decision on the matter, subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the "Disputes" clause (FAR 52.233-1).

(f) The Contractor shall make refunds, as required under this requirement, in accordance with instructions from the

Contracting Officer.

(g) The Contractor shall not be liable for a refund if the Contractor advised the Contracting Officer in a timely manner that the price it would propose for a spare part or item of support equipment exceeded its intrinsic value, and with such advice, specified the estimated proposed price, the estimated intrinsic value and known alternative sources or item, if any, that can meet the requirement.

(h) This requirement does not apply to any spare parts or items of support equipment whose price is determined through adequate price competition. This requirement also does not apply to any spare part or item of support equipment if the

Contractor submitted, and certified the currency, accuracy and completeness of, cost or pricing data applicable to the item.
