Turn-Around-Time <TAT>: These units are currently out-of-service and unavailable to the end-user Army customers supported by USATA. U.S. Army readiness is affected; therefore, the U.S. Army requires repair of the equipment,meeting original equipment manufacturer recommendations, and accredited calibration
under ISO 17025 standards. Contractor shall be required to complete repairs and accredited calibration in no more than 10 days after receipt of order from the
Contracting Officer to meet Army end-user readiness requirements.

Subcontracting: Transit of sensitive electronic test, measurement and diagnostic equipment can result in physical damage and changes in tolerances to accredited calibrations, rendering the equipment to instability and resulting in additional costs to the government for recalibration resulting from shipment. In an effort to reduce risk of damage to equipment during transit,
subcontracting of repairs and accredited calibration is not authorized. All work shall be performed on-site at the Contractor's facility.
