SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

2.1. GENERAL

2.1.1. The work performed under this contract is to remanufacture the end item(s) specified in the PREFACE SHEET of this SOW. The work encompasses the disassembly, cleaning, inspection, maintenance, re-assembly, testing, and finishing actions required to return the end item to a like new condition. The work shall be accomplished IAW documents as specified in SECTION 3. In the event that a situation develops where these instructions conflict with the documents listed in SECTION 3, this SOW shall take precedence.

2.1.2. When a particular remanufacture is constrained for lack of remanufacture materials that are not and will not be immediately available, the Contractor may request via the Contract Request Form process (refer to Paragraph 2.2.8) authorization to remove components or subassemblies from other inducted assets (the donor) prior to full disassembly for remanufacture in order to expedite remanufactures. Component removal requests shall be subject to review and approval/disapproval by the cognizant engineering activity. Such component removal actions should only be considered upon exhaustion of all other sources of remanufacture materials. The Contractor shall not initiate any component removal action unless such action shall satisfy all remanufacture material requirements for the recipient end item. The Contractor shall not remove any piece parts from serviceable units. At the Contractor’s expense, the Contractor shall then replace all removed donor subassemblies with remanufactured or new subassemblies and all component parts with new component parts on the donor assembly. The Contractor shall ensure the contract delivery schedule is not negatively affected by the removal of any components or subassemblies from any inducted assets. The Contractor shall not condemn donor end items or subassemblies.

2.1.3. Obsolescence and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS). Due to the nature of aging equipment and constraints within the defense supply chain, parts obsolescence and DMSMS are expected to present increasing challenges to the sustainment of Air Force end items. While executing the work specified in this SOW, the Contractor may need to consider unique parts sourcing actions in support of the work specified in this SOW if sourcing is not available through the OEM or DLA (refer to Paragraph 1.8, Parts Control Program).

a. Examples of alternative parts sourcing options which the Contractor may request include manufacturing at the Contractor’s facility (if technical data is available) or reverse engineering (if data is not available). In either case, the Contractor shall be able to demonstrate having the necessary capabilities, experience, equipment, and/or technical data necessary to execute the alternate sourcing proposed. If reverse engineering is to be considered, refer to additional requirements in Paragraph 2.1.4.

b. The Contractor shall request authorization to deviate from sourcing parts from OEM or DLA by submitting an RFV DD1694 to the PCO. Authorization from the Government cognizant engineer, as communicated in writing through the PCO, must be received prior to executing the requested deviations. If the Contractor requires the Government to consider non-recurring expenses (NRE) associated with the parts source deviation request, a quote for NRE shall accompany the request. Any approval received for alternate parts sourcing options shall only be applicable to work accomplished within the scope of this contract; for example, it would not necessarily imply authorization to be considered a manufacturing source for DLA in the future.

2.1.4. Reverse Engineering (RE) of Obsolete/Unobtainable Parts. Authorization requests to reverse engineer obsolete or unobtainable piece parts are subject to the following additional requirements.

a. Any RE request shall require a three-part approval process, at minimum, as follows:

i. The Contractor shall request authorization via RFV DD1694 to proceed with a RE effort. This request must include 1) documented attempts to obtain the parts from DLA or the OEM, 2) a quote for the engineering effort required, 3) a robust RE plan, and 4) a proposed qualification plan for validating the RE design.

ii. Following approval to move forward with the RE plan, the Contractor shall complete the RE process and submit the final RE design for review by the Government cognizant engineer. Approval of the design, as communicated in writing via the PCO is required prior to prototype or initial production.

iii. The Contractor shall produce a minimum of three (3) prototypes using the RE design to verify production conformance with the approved RE design. The Contractor shall prepare a report (format is up to the Contractor) including a full dimensional analysis, material and process certificates, and installation on the NHA to verify proper fit, form, and function for all three prototypes. Final cognizant engineering approval of the prototype testing report, as communicated in writing via the PCO, is required prior to full production and utilization of RE parts in the NHA.
