Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: Repair source already named as Cobham. The statement of work fills in Cobham Advanced Electronic Solution as the repair source, and changing the repair source needs written approval, so ask the contracting officer whether other firms can compete.
- Worth checking: Government supplies no tooling or test equipment. You must have or buy all fixtures, test equipment and tooling for the repair, which is costly for a small shop.
- Worth checking: Repair manuals and drawings not posted in the text. The repair manuals, drawings and specifications that govern the repair are not included in the text; you must get them to price the work.

- Worth checking: Unapproved changes are at your own risk. Repairs using unapproved manual, drawing or repair-site changes can force you to replace delivered items with no price adjustment.
- Minor: Beyond economical repair and over-and-above repair rules. A unit costing over 75% of the replacement price is excluded from the contract price, and extra-scope repair needs written approval before you start.
- Minor: Quantity given without a unit of issue. The notice says QTY 1 but gives no unit of issue (the unit the item is sold in), and a quote is priced per unit.
