Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Worth checking: Northrop Grumman listed as the repair source. The repair source field already names Northrop Grumman in El Segundo, California, and changing a repair source needs written approval from the procuring contracting officer (PCO); ask the contracting officer how other firms are treated.
- Worth checking: Quantity, pricing form and delivery terms not stated. The text gives no quantity, unit of issue, delivery schedule or pricing instructions, and a quote is priced per unit; it refers to a contract schedule that is not in the text.
- Worth checking: You supply all tooling and test equipment. Fixtures, special tooling and test equipment are not provided by the Government, so you need them in house or must price them in.
Show all 6Show fewer
- Worth checking: Beyond-repair and extra-work items are handled outside the price. Units that cost more than 75% of the replacement price to fix (beyond economical repair, BER) are not in the contract price. They, units missing parts on arrival (MOI) and over-and-above (OAR) work need written concurrence from the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) first.
- Worth checking: Certified quality and calibration systems required. The repair shop must run an ISO 9001 / AS9100 quality system and a calibration system, which can be costly for a small shop that lacks them.
- Minor: 12-month warranty clause. The warranty clause fields list 12 months and 45 days after discovery of a defect; the text does not explain how they apply.
