(e)  GOVERNMENT PROPERTY FURNISHED FOR REPAIR (FAR 16.503(c))
Failure of the Government to furnish such items in the amounts or quantities described in the Schedule as “estimated” or “maximum” will not entitle the contractor to any equitable adjustment in price under the Government Property clause of the contract.

(f) END ITEMS BEYOND REMANUFACTURE
"Reparable End Items" are defined as end items which can be restored to a serviceable condition, in accordance with applicable requirements. Some units of items listed in Section B may, upon disassembly and/or inspection, be determined to be beyond the overhaul limits specified in the Work Specification and/or Technical Orders. Any cost for work performed by the Contractor prior to determination that such equipment is beyond these limits, shall be included in the unit price(s) of the listed item(s).

(g) If the contractor estimates that any item is not reparable (i.e. beyond overhaul), the Contractor shall promptly notify the administrative contracting officer in writing and shall not perform further on any such items except after receipt of approval from the direction of the procurement contracting officer (PCO). Upon written confirmation from the PCO that a particular item is not reparable, the contractor shall dispose of the unit in the manner directed by the PCO.

Contractors are cautioned that until a contract is executed, any effort performed in support of the anticipated effort is performed strictly at their own risk and expense. There is no authorization to begin performance until the contractor has received a duly authorized contract signed by the Contracting Officer. Also, this request for proposal is not to be construed to mean that the award of a contract is assured, as the availability of funds, timely submission of all requested documents, and acceptance by both parties are prerequisite to any contract award.

(h) Condemned units shall not be counted as production.

(i) In the event there are component part(s) with long lead times, the awardee is responsible for securing necessary parts to meet the Government’s required delivery schedule.

(j) In the event that DFARS clause 252.217-7001, Surge Option, is invoked, quantities and prices will be negotiated at that time.  The fill-in data in Clause 252.217-7001 will be TBD until a surge is known and negotiations are necessary.

(k) Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking is required in accordance with DFARS 252.211-7003. Contractor determined location and method of marking is acceptable.

(l)  Dates listed in clauses 52.216-19 and 52.216‐21 are based on the estimated award date. These dates will be revised prior to award based on the actual award date.

(m)  Some units of items listed in Section B may, upon disassembly and/or inspection, be determined to be beyond economical repair of limits specified in the Work Specification and/or Technical Orders.  All cost for work performed by the contractor prior to determination that such equipment is beyond these limits, shall be included in the unit price(s) of the listed item(s).  

(n) In accordance with the attached CAV AF Reporting Requirements (see the document listed in Section J), the contractor must include a DD1348-1when assets are shipped. DCMA Quality Assurance Representatives (QARs) will not approve or sign the DD1348-1, but will ensure DD1348-1 is included with each returned asset. If a DD1348-1 is not included with each returned asset, DCMA will not sign the DD250.

(o) In accordance with DAFFARS 5309.105-1 the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) is checked for supplier risk assessments when determining responsibility.  DFARS 252.204.7303(b) states that the contracting officer shall verify that the summary level score of a current NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment (i.e., not more than 3 years old, unless a lesser time is specified in the solicitation) for each covered contractor information system that is relevant to an offer, contract, task order, or delivery order are posted in Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Offerors are required to represent they will implement National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171 SP 800-171 (reference the provision DFARS 252.204-7008). A score of 110 must be in SPRS, if assessment score is less than 110, contractors must submit a plan with their proposal to become compliant.
