Item Unique Identification (IUID)
A system of establishing unique item identifiers (UII) within the DoD by assigning a machine-readable character string or number to a discrete item, which serves to distinguish it from other like and unlike items. UIIs are stored in the IUID registry, along with pedigree data associated with item. The registry is maintained by the Defense Logistics Agency Logistics Information Service (DLIS) (see https://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/faqs/iuid-faqs/iuid-overview)
Over and Above Work
“Over and above work” means work discovered during the course of performing overhaul, maintenance, and repair efforts that is—
(i) Within the general scope of the contract;
(ii) Not covered by the line item(s) for the basic work under the contract; and
(iii) Necessary in order to satisfactorily complete the contract.
Over and above does not cover normal type repairs or replacement of failed components occurring due to operation of the end item. These type failures are expected to be accomplished under the overhaul line item in the contract. Examples of over and above include damage that has occurred which is not the result of the normal operation of the end item, damage to cases, external accessories, and damage to many components due to a short on a circuit board. Normal type repairs should not be interpreted as just component failures not normally seen.
Upon discovery of the need for over and above work, the Contractor shall prepare and furnish to the Government a work request in accordance with the agreed-to procedure.
The Contractor and Administrative Contracting Officer shall mutually agree to procedures for Government administration and Contractor performance of over and above work requests. If the parties cannot agree upon the procedures, the Administrative Contracting Officer has the unilateral right to direct the over and above work procedures to be followed. These procedures shall, as a minimum, cover—
The format, content, and submission of work requests by the Contractor. Work
requests shall contain data on the type of discrepancy disclosed, the specific location of the discrepancy, and the estimated labor hours and material required to correct the discrepancy. Data shall be sufficient to satisfy contract requirements and obtain the authorization of the Contracting Officer to perform the proposed work; Government review, verification, and authorization of the work and Proposal pricing, submission, negotiation, and definitization.
The Government will review the work request and provide a response to the contractor within 15 calendar days if the over and above work request is approved by the Government. Approved work requests will result in contract modifications to definitize all over and above work.
Failure to agree on the price of over and above work shall be a dispute within the meaning of the Disputes clause of this contract.
