4.0 Technical Requirements

The covered hardware provided as GFP for the contractor to evaluate and repair will be specified in individual task orders.

4.1. Evaluation and Return Shipping of Covered Hardware (Firm Fixed Price – CLINs 0001 and 0002)

4.1.1 Within two business days of issuance of a task order, the contractor shall issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and shipping address for the Government to send the GFP to the contractor’s facility to be evaluated. As specified in DFARS Clause 252.245–7005, all GFP shall be transferred to the contractor and documented on a Government Furnished Property (GFP) Attachment in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) no later than thirty (30) days after task order or option award.

Within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of GFP, the contractor shall test and evaluate each unit to determine if the GFP is repairable. Once evaluation of all GFP has been completed, the contractor shall notify the Government within one (1) week of completion of evaluation.

4.1.2.1 If the GFP either does not require repair, does not pass evaluation, or is otherwise determined unrepairable, the unit shall not be subject to inspection and acceptance. In such cases, the contractor shall deliver the GFP back to NUWCDIVNPT using standard packaging procedures. The contractor shall deliver an evaluation report indicating the evaluation results of all GFP in accordance with CDRL A001 (DI-TBD). Return shipping costs for the unrepairable GFP shall be covered under the FFP CLIN 0002.

4.1.2.2 For DDC Modules, if there are visible heat-defective areas on the Module, then the contractor shall not repair the DDC Module due to the extent of physical damage.

Any GFP deemed unrepairable due to the extent of physical damage shall not be subject to inspection and acceptance. In such cases, the contractor shall deliver the unrepairable DDC module to NUWCDIVNPT using standard packaging procedures, and shall document evaluation status on an evaluation report in accordance with CDRL A001 (DI- TBD). Return shipping costs for the unrepairable DDC shall be covered under the FFP

CLIN 0002.

4.1.3 For all GFP determined to be repairable, the contractor shall provide a breakdown of proposed repair costs to the Government for approval via Proposed Repair Report in accordance with CDRL A002 (DI-) within thirty-seven (37) calendar days of receipt of GFP. In the report, the contractor shall include a breakdown of all anticipated labor and materials required to perform the repair, as well as identify any known obsolete subcomponents that will need to be provided as GFP for the repairs.

4.1.3.1 If the Government determines not to proceed with a repair, the contractor shall ship the GFP back to NUWCDIVNPT using standard packaging procedures. Return shipping costs for the unrepaired GFP shall be covered under the FFP CLIN 0002.

4.1.3.2 If the Government decides to proceed with a repair, a subsequent task order will be issued on a CPFF basis under task 4.2. Once evaluation and repair of each unit is complete under task 4.2 (or the item is determined unrepairable in accordance with task 4.2.1.1), the contractor shall ship the GFP back to NUWCDIVNPT. Return shipping costs for the GFP shall be covered under the FFP CLIN 0002.

4.2 Repair and Testing of Covered Hardware (Cost Plus Fixed Fee – CLIN 0003)

4.2.1 Within ninety (90) calendar days of issuance of task order or exercise of repair CLIN, the contractor shall repair the GFP and complete post-repair testing to verify functionality of each unit.

4.2.1.1 If any unit is determined unrepairable after post-repair testing is complete, then the unit(s) will not be subject to further repair or inspection and acceptance. The contractor shall document and deliver the results of failed post-repair testing in accordance with CDRL A001 (DI-TBD).

4.2.1.2 Once evaluation and repair of each unit is complete and all repairable GFP has been verified functional via post-repair testing, the contractor shall document the final status of all repairs and testing in accordance with CDRL A001 (DI-TBD).
