This solicitation is for the repair of compressors and vacuum pumps. Accelerated delivery is encouraged. All freight is FOB origin. Government source inspection (GSI) is required. The government is seeking a repair turnaround time (RTAT) of 90 days. Freight is handled by the Navy. Quotes must include quote amount, RTAT, unit price, total price, and RTAT in days. If the company cannot meet the required RTAT, they must provide capacity constraints. The contractual delivery requirement is measured from asset return to asset acceptance. The contractor must report all transactions by the end of the fifth business day after receipt, with the action date reflecting the actual date of physical receipt. Final inspection and acceptance by the government must occur within the RTATs established in the contract. Firm fixed price is expected. If an item is determined beyond repair (BR), and the contractor provides documentation of costs incurred during evaluation, the contracting officer will negotiate a reduced contract price, not to exceed the NTE associated with the repair effort. If the contractor does not meet the required RTAT, a price reduction per unit per month will be incurred, up to a maximum amount. Delays determined to be excusable will not result in a price reduction. Price reductions will not limit other government remedies, including termination for default. The contractor must provide the price reduction amount per unit per month for not meeting the RTAT, up to a maximum. The contract requires repair and quality requirements for the compressor HP. All repair work shall be performed in accordance with the contractor's repair overhaul standard practices, manuals, and directives. Changes in design, material, servicing, or part number require notification and approval by the contracting officer via a written change order, except for a code 1 change. The contractor shall furnish a drawing and explanation for any substitutions. The contractor's inspection system or quality program must ensure all items meet contract requirements. Records of all inspection work must be kept for 365 calendar days after final delivery. Packaging applies as found elsewhere in the schedule.
The contractual delivery requirement is measured from asset return to the date of asset acceptance under the terms of the contract. For purposes of this section, return is defined as physical receipt of the asset at the contractor's facility as reflected in the action date entry in the Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) system. The contractor must obtain final inspection and acceptance by the government for all assets within the RTATs established in this contract.
The bid notice does not explicitly state the award criterion, but it mentions that the resultant award will be issued bilaterally, requiring the contractor's written acceptance prior to execution.
The bid notice implies that the contractor must have repair overhaul standard practices, manuals, and directives, including drawings, technical orders, manufacturing operations, tooling instructions, approved repair standards, and any other contractor or government approved documents developed to provide technical repair procedures.
Any asset for which the contractor does not meet the required RTAT will incur a price reduction per unit per month the contractor is late. 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.
