Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

SECTION C

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 Scope

1.1 Introduction

The United States Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC) has a requirement for program management and technical services to sustain Foreign Military Sales (FMS) standard and non-standard military and commercial assets for the Army Security Assistance Enterprise (ASAE). This includes repairs on equipment sold by the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), the Communications, Electronics Command (CECOM) and the Tank- Automotive Command (TACOM), as well as USASAC. These services encompass: repair, maintenance, system modifications, inspections, calibrations, tests and evaluations, engineering design and analyses, and prepare for return to the customer. This process is commonly referred to as Repair and Return (R&R) in the FMS community and will be referred to as such in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). An R&R process guide can be found at attachment one of this PWS.

1.2 Background

Providing R&R management support for Army FMS customers creates unique challenges. There are situations when organic/U.S. Army Depot repair and return capabilities cannot meet the customers’ needs as U.S. Army Depots only support repair of items that are currently in use by the U.S Army. Specifically, non-standard items that are not of a type or configuration currently active in the Department of Defense (DoD) inventory and standard items that the United States Government (USG) Sources of Supply (SOS), cannot obtain within a reasonable period of time. Many FMS assets are aged or are customer unique and detailed technical information about them is not available. Some repairs are not supported at U.S. Army Depots due to low or infrequent usage of those items, and the occasional request for repair/service may not justify the administrative cost and time required to sustain a USG depot repair program. In cases where depot repair support does exist, resources are limited and high DoD demand often takes precedence over FMS customer requirements.

1.3 Objective

USASAC requires a contracted effort to integrate and support the performance, safety, reliability and maintainability of repairs of non-standard military and commercial assets for ASAE FMS customers. A representative list of the systems requiring support is included in this document in Section 3.2. The contract shall provide repair/evaluation and return of component parts or systems, failure reporting and analysis, program management, materiel management, financial administration, planning, monitoring, expediting, tracking, and reporting into the web-based information system, Web Repair of Reparables (WebRoR)

2.1 R&R Information

2.1.1 Critical Safety Items (CSI). Critical Safety Item determination is based on the actual designation of a particular part by the Aviation Engineering Directorate (AED) and is defined by Public Law 108-136, Section 802, and DFARS 209.270-2 as a part, an assembly, installation equipment, launch equipment, recovery equipment, or support equipment for an aircraft or aviation weapon system if the part, assembly, or equipment contains a characteristic any failure, malfunction, or absence of which could cause:

-A catastrophic or critical failure resulting in the loss of or serious damage to the aircraft or weapon system;

-An unacceptable risk of personal injury or loss of life; or -An un-commanded engine shutdown that jeopardizes safety. Fracture critical and fatigue critical are called out for special emphasis, and are examples of specific characteristics that would cause an item to be considered a CSI.

A Critical Characteristic is defined as follows: any feature throughout the life cycle of a Critical Item, such as dimension, tolerance, finish material or assembly, manufacturing or inspection process, operation, field maintenance, or depot overhaul requirement that if nonconforming, missing, or degraded may cause the failure or malfunction of the Critical Item.

2.1.2 Depot Maintenance Work Requirement (DMWR). A DMWR prescribes the scope of work to be performed on an item by a maintenance facility, types and kinds of materiel to be used, and quality of workmanship. The DMWR also addresses repair methods, procedures and techniques, modification requirements, fits and tolerances, equipment performance parameters to be achieved, quality assurance discipline and other essential factors to ensure than an acceptable and cost effective product is obtained.

2.2 Information for the Contractor (The USG responsible/duties)

2.2.1 The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will take action to have the Contracting Officer (KO) establish a Task Order (TO) by Country, Case and Line as Requests for Repair Services (RFRS) are received from FMS Customers. Funding for services may be provided based on the established Maintenance Expenditure Limit (MEL) or known USG historical costs for each asset. After all costs have been invoiced, residual funds may remain on the TO for future repairs. If the residual funds are not required, they will be de-obligated from the TO and the TO closed.

2.2.2 The USG may provide the following information via the Web Based Repair of Reparables database, (WebRoR):

Tracking Number for repair Country, FMS Case Designator and FMS Case Line National Stock Number (NSN) and/or Part Number (P/N) Nomenclature Serial Number (S/N) End item of component to be serviced Failure Remarks (if known) Freight Forwarder (FF) contact information Points of Contact (POCs)

MEL

CSI indicator Authorized CSI repair source Replacement Value Historical documentation Proof of delivery to the repair facility

2.2.3 The Government may identify each asset submitted for service with an FMS tracking number. This number consists of 14 to 15 alpha-numeric positions and must accompany all information pertaining to the asset. The USG may provide codes for the tracking record. An example of a tracking record is BBW0EN-2037-R001. Breakdown of the tracking record information is currently as follows:

B = Army - All Army records begin with B.

BW = Country Code 0 = The 4th Character of the document is the Mark for Code E = Delivery Term Code (DTC).

N = Type Assistance Code.

(Next 4 Characters, 2037, are the last four digits of the Julian Date on which the record was entered.

The last four characters are the serial number. The “R” indicates this is a Repair and Return record.

A = following the 14 digit tracking record, signifies that this record has been re-submitted X, Y or Z = following the 14 digit tracking record, signifies that this record is a Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR)

2.2.4 Submit a tracking record in the quantity of one (1) each. More than one (1) tracking record may be submitted at a time, each will have a unique tracking record number.

2.2.5 Identify the MEL and item replacement value to ensure proper calculation of the expenditure limit.

2.2.6 USG/Country Provided Transportation Services. These services will be provided by a cognizant Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) office or the FMS customer’s FF as specified in the TO. The cognizant DCMA office or FF will:

2.2.6.1 Apply for and obtain the applicable import/export licenses.

2.2.6.2 Arrange for transportation of material from the owner country to the Contractor's Source of Repair (SOR)/repair facility within 180 days of receipt of instructions and provide shipping documentation to the Contractor when available.

2.2.6.3 Arrange for transportation from the SOR/repair facility to the owner country upon receipt of a Notice of Availability (NOA) from the Contractor that an item is ready for shipment.

2.2.6.4 Assist Customs Agents in resolving customs issues when necessary.

2.2.6.5 Assist the Contractor and the COR, in processing Transportation Discrepancy Reports (TDR's).

If the only available repair facility available will not agree to this, the Contractor shall notify the COR within 45 days of contract award.

3.1.5 The Contractor shall obtain and validate a quote for R&R or Test Teardown & Evaluation (TT&E) of an item.

If the TT&E quote is 50% or more of the MEL value, the Contractor shall inform the COR within 45 days of contract award. The FMS customer may choose not to go forward with repair as it is possible that the MEL will be exceeded upon repair completion.

3.1.6 The Contractor shall obtain competitive quotes when soliciting for repairs, as defined by FAR Part 6 (Competition Requirements). The contractor shall adequately document the fair and reasonable price for all repairs.

Repairs for CSI items are exempt from this requirement. When competition is not obtained, the contractor shall document their files and WEBRoR to reflect all attempts made to compete the repair and obtain a fair and reasonable price.

3.1.7 The Contractor shall complete TT&E and provide an Estimated Completion Date (ECD) via WebRoR within a yearly average of 60 calendar days of receipt of the item at the repair facility. If an ECD cannot be provided by the repair facility within 60 days, ECDs can be derived from historical repair turnaround times (RTATs) for that NSN.

3.1.8 The Contractor shall complete all repairs within a yearly average of 150 calendar days from receipt at the repair facility. The Contractor shall post the completion date in WebRoR.

3.1.9 The Contractor shall identify items which are Beyond Economical Repair (BER). BER is defined as any item that cannot be repaired within the MEL. The MEL is the acceptable one-time cost to repair an item to a fully serviceable condition. The MEL is set at 65% of the cost to replace an item, the majority of the time as determined by the USG. There are times when historical costs are much lower than 65% of the cost to replace, in those cases, the historical cost may be used as the MEL. IAW CDRL A004, the Contractor shall submit a MEL waiver request to the COR any time the total repair cost exceeds the MEL. The MEL waiver request shall include the repair cost and estimated lead time to enable the FMS customer to make an informed decision to continue with repair or not.

The Contractor shall not perform any further service on the item until notified by the COR to continue with repair, cannibalize, scrap or return the item as is.

3.1.10 The Contractor shall identify items which are Beyond Repair (BR). BR is defined as any item so physically damaged to be deemed un-repairable or obsolete replacement parts can no longer be procured or manufactured. If an item has been torn down for inspection and identified to be BR due to physical damage, digital photos shall be provided to the COR upon request. In either event, the Contractor shall notify the COR immediately by submitting a

Notice of BR requesting disposition instructions IAW CDRL A005. The COR will issue disposition instructions to the Contractor.

3.1.11 The Contractor shall utilize Cannibalization (Cann)/Controlled exchange of BER/BR items only when expediting the repair of assets belonging to the same customer and there is a shortage of long- lead time parts that would prevent a timely repair. The Contractor shall request approval of a Cann action from the COR IAW CDRL A006. Under no circumstances shall a Cann action be approved for items with different end users.

3.1.12 The Contractor shall provide a certificate of destruction to the COR for BR or BER items in which a decision to scrap has been received from the COR IAW CDRL A007. Register at www.dcma.mil for access to the Plant Clearance Automated Reutilization Screening System (PCARSS) for directions on scrapping items.

3.1.13 The Contractor shall notify the COR when test and evaluation or failure analysis of a component results in No Evidence of Failure (NEoF) IAW CDRL A008. NEoF occurs when an originally reported mode of failure cannot be duplicated or identified through the analysis process and therefore the potential defect cannot be repaired.

3.1.14 The Contractor shall provide documentation, within 90 days of action, for costs incurred by the repair facility for repair efforts undertaken for items that are scrapped or otherwise returned without repair such as, BER or BR, NEoF etc. Issue a Notice of Significant Closing Action IAW CDRL A009 within 90 days of action which details the reason why the work could not be completed and include with the invoice submitted. Payment will not be made unless documentation is provided. No cost will be incurred by the repair facility for assets not received at the

REPAIR FACILITY.

3.1.15 The Contractor shall prepare the asset for return to the FMS customer IAW the shipping instructions provided by the USG for each TO. A country specific FF or cognizant DCMA office, (if no FF exists) will arrange for transportation of items from the repair facility to the owning country upon receipt of notification from the Contractor that an item is ready for shipment. Follow all International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), 22 CFR 120-130 that comply with the security requirements for the item being shipped.

3.1.16 The Contractor shall warrant items for one (1) year from date of FF pick-up to be free from defects in workmanship and materials. Warranty Exclusions: normal wear and tear; use for other than intended purposes;

misuse or abuse; physical tampering; unauthorized repairs or modifications, destruction. If the repair facility will not provide a one (1) year warranty, notify the COR so the customer can make the decision to proceed or cancel the tracking record.

3.1.17 The Contractor shall accept and adhere to requests from the COR for cancellation of assets on contract. No cost will be incurred by the repair facility for assets not received at the repair facility.

3.1.18 The Contractor shall provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) for each asset repaired/serviced NLT 90 days after completion of the repair/service. The CoC is documented affirmation that the repair or service provided conforms to the most current and effective technical data (technical orders, drawing, specifications, regulatory guidance, etc.). The CoC shall reflect the tracking record, serial number, lot, batch or part number, or other identification markings of the material provided IAW CDRL A010. The warranty period shall also be reflected on the CoC. The Contractor shall ensure the CoC is prepared and signed by an authorized representative of the repair facility with firsthand knowledge or supporting documentation that the item repaired/serviced conforms in all respects. For the purpose of the contract, the CoC or “FAA tag when applicable” is considered to be a serviceable tag.

3.1.19 The Contractor shall track and report, at a minimum, the following milestones and information for each repair, by tracking record number, and post to WebRoR, as they occur:

Disposition instructions Date received Date of estimated completion (ECD) Date repair/service complete

Date Notice of Availability (NOA) issued to FF Date shipped/returned Date delayed – reason Date of BER or BR notification Date of BER or BR response Date MEL waiver requested Amount of additional funds required for MEL waiver Justification for MEL waiver Date MEL waiver approved/disapproved Date cancelled Date missing – details Repair facility Cage Code Date Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR) asset received Date SDR asset shipped

3.1.20 The Contractor shall explain ECDs in excess of 180 calendar days with a substantive narrative message in WebRoR providing the reason for the delay and any information that may assist the customer in logistics planning.

The Contractor shall update WebRoR justification any time an ECD becomes past due and provide an updated ECD.

3.1.21 Conduct research and provide Price and Availability (P&A), when requested, to either the COR or Technical Monitor (TM) for items where little information is known IAW CDRL A011.

3.2 R&R
