The Contractor shall supply all parts, labor, and materials required to restore these components to RFI condition. Incorporation of Service Bulletins (SB) or repairs for Unusual Damage will be priced separately. The technical requirements in the SOW are identified as the minimum acceptable standards of performance to define an operationally effective system. The contractor must have access to the applicable technical directives cited in paragraph 1.5 Applicable Documents. In addition to these directives, the contractor must have access to all performance/test/acceptance criteria and necessary data to ensure the items specified in the schedule are repaired, modified, calibrated, and operating IAW the applicable technical directives. 1.3 OBJECTIVE This contract will provide an acquisition vehicle for the USCG to maintain an inventory of RFI components to supply depot level maintenance and the field units. It will continue to enhance the USCG’s ability to perform the congressionally mandated missions such as search and rescue, law enforcement, international ice patrol, marine environmental protection, and marine resource conservation.
