(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

(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

(j) Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking is required in accordance with DFARS 252.211-7003. Contractor

not included with each returned asset, DCMA will not sign the DD250.

(n) OMBUDSMAN

An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential

offerors, and others for the acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to

the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program

manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the

evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disuputes.

The obmudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.

Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements,

and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or

postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g. agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for

debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).

If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman,

AFSC/PZC at 405-736-3273. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at

the Center/MAJCOM/FLDCOM/DRU ombudsman level, may be brought by the interested party for further

consideration to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS)

(Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (571) 256-2395,

facimile number (571) 256-2431.

The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.

Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify the offer due date, or clarify technical

requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the contracting officer.
