(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 overhaul on any such items except at the direction of the administrative contracting officer (ACO). Upon written confirmation from the ACO that a particular item is not reparable, the contractor shall dispose of the unit in the manner directed by the ACO.

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 252.216 7006, 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 the remanufacture 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).
