Corrective unscheduled maintenance procedures shall be conducted as detailed in U.S. Army UH-60M maintenance publications. The Contractor shall provide maintenance support for any unscheduled maintenance that may arise while the NASC UH-60M are under the control of the Contractor on a cost reimbursable basis. The costs for labor, common bench stock, consumables, and shipping required for unscheduled maintenance shall be reimbursed by the Government. Repair parts for unscheduled maintenance shall be provided by either the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for parts under warranty or by the Government for NASC unique items not under Sikorsky warranty. The Contractor shall provide Unscheduled Maintenance Labor Categories with anticipated Labor Rates with their proposal.

1.4.6.1.4. Repair Parts Request Process. When an unscheduled maintenance event occurs Sikorsky will first identify the faulty component to the COR and determine if it is under Sikorsky warranty. For warrantied items, Sikorsky will inform the COR of the expected timeline for repairing or replacing the warrantied item. When the warranty timeline would negatively impact the training program or for repair parts that are not under Sikorsky warranty, the COR will coordinate with the Security Assistance Management Directorate (SAMD) to determine if the required part is available from NASC/Taiwan Army stocks or from US Army stocks. When the repair part is not readily available from NASC/Taiwan Army stocks, the COR will coordinate to procure the repair stock through the US Army supply system; NASC will be informed of the required procurement and the procurement will be paid for from TW-B-YZC case funds.

1.4.6.1.5. Controlled Exchange may be authorized to transfer critical parts from one aircraft to another. Controlled exchange is used when delays in receiving repairs parts by other means would have a detrimental impact on the training schedule or other contract requirements. Items removed from an aircraft for controlled exchange shall immediately be ordered for replacement through the appropriate repair parts request method. All controlled exchange parts will be tracked by the Contractor in the aircraft logbooks of both the losing and gaining aircraft. All requests for controlled exchange must be approved by the COR.

1.4.7. Maintenance Standards. The Contractor shall perform all scheduled and unscheduled UH- 60M maintenance IAW the US Army UH-60M Integrated Electronic Technical Manual (IETM), the Taiwan Unique UH-60M IETM (for Taiwan unique items only) and the NASC or Taiwan Army Operational Air Worthiness Release (AWR).

1.4.8. Simulators and Training Devices. While only UH-60M aircraft shall be used to conduct flight training, simulated flight training shall be conducted in a UH-60M or S-70i Full Flight Simulator meeting FAA Level C or D criteria. Other Aviation Training Devices may be used to train cockpit procedures, aircraft systems, or similar non-flight training. To reduce training costs, the Contractor shall utilize a combination of training with actual UH-60M aircraft and an appropriate flight simulator. The flight simulator should be used for no less than 60% of pilot training flight hours.

1.5. Period of Performance (PoP): The PoP shall be twelve (12) months from 01 Oct 2016 to and including 30 Sep 2017.
