Please include the following: a. Teardown and Evaluation Rate: b. RTAT: c. Throughput Constraint: d. Induction Expiration Date: 10. This requirement utilizes Government Furnished Property (GFP). Any GFP located at the contractor's facility in storage that can be used for repair of the requirement must be utilized and called out within the final quote. 11. The contractor shall comply with the Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) of the asset(s) in this order in accordance with NAVSUPWSSFA24. 12. Repair Turn Around Time (RTAT) - the resultant contractual delivery requirement is measured from the asset return to the asset acceptance under the terms of the contract. For purposes of this section, return is defined as physical receipt of the F-condition asset at the contractor’s facility as reflected in the Action Date entry in the Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) system. In accordance with the CAV Statement of Work, the contractor is required to accurately report all transactions by the end of the fifth regular business day after receipt and the Action Date entered in CAV must be dated to reflect the actual date of physical receipt. The contractor must obtain final inspection and acceptance by the Government for all assets within the RTAT established in the contract. 13. DD1423 Data Item A001 may be waived if already on file at NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg. 14. This is a Level 1 Repair. Requested RTAT: XXX Days Proposals shall reference the proposed RTAT and any capacity constraints. Price Reductions Any assets for which the contractor does not meet the required RTAT will incur a price reduction of XXXX per unit. This adjustment will be implemented via a reconciliation modification at the end of contract performance. Price reductions made pursuant to this section shall not limit other remedies available to the Government for failure to meet required RTATs, including but not limited to the Government's right to terminate for default. Reconciliation A reconciliation modification will be issued after final inspection and acceptance of all assets inducted under this contract. The parties have agreed to a price (shown on the schedule page) for each unit at the negotiated RTAT. Such prices are based on the Contractor meeting the RTAT requirements described within the schedule page. If the Contractor does not meet the applicable RTAT requirement, the price adjustment as stated shall be applicable. \ 1. SCOPE 1.1 The material covered in this contract/purchase order will be used in a crucial shipboard system. The use of incorrect or defective material would create a high probability of failure resulting in serious personnel injury, loss of life, loss of vital shipboard systems, or loss of the ship itself. Therefore, the material has been designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) and special control procedures are invoked to ensure receipt of correct material. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1 Order of Precedence - In the event of a conflict between the text of this contract/purchase order and the references and/or drawings cited herein, the text of this contract/purchase order must take precedence. Nothing in this contract/purchase order, however, must supersede applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained. 2.2 Applicable Documents - The document(s) listed below form a part of this contract/purchase order including modifications or exclusions. 2.2.1 "Document References" listed below must be obtained by the Contractor. Ordering information is included as an attachment to this contract/purchase order. 2.2.2 Documents, drawings, and publications supplied are listed under "Drawing Number". These items should be retained until an award is made. 2.2.3 Specification Revisions - The specification revisions listed under "Documents References" below are the preferred revision. Older and/or newer r evisions are acceptable when listed within Contract Support Library Reference Number CSD155 in ECDS (Electric Contractor Data Submission) at: ht tps://register.nslc.navy.mil/. This is to allow Contractors to use certain acceptable older specification revisions to purge their existing stock of material certified to those older revisions or to use newer specification revisions when material is certified to newly released revisions,without requiring the submittal of waiver/deviation requests for each specification revision on every contract. Revisions of specifications reflecting editorial and/or re-approval (e.g. E2009, R2014, etc.) are considered inconsequential, but are acceptable when their revisions are listedwithin CSD155 or elsewhere within this contract.
