  5. Guarantee.
    1. Seller guarantees that the Contract Work will be free of all Guarantee Defects in material, workmanship and design and will conform to the Specifications for a period of eleven (11) months from preliminary acceptance of each Vessel by the Government for which the Contract Work is performed; or eleven (11) months after acceptance of the Contract Work by Buyer, if such acceptance is after preliminary acceptance of the applicable Vessel by the Government (the "Guarantee Period"). The Guarantee Period shall be extended by the time during which the Vessel is not available for unrestricted service by reason of any Guarantee Defects in the Contract Work for which Buyer shall determine that Seller is responsible. If at any time during the Guarantee Period, any weakness, deficiency, defect, failure, breaking down, or deterioration not caused by Buyer ("Guarantee Defect") in the Contract Work shall appear or be discovered, such Guarantee Defect shall be replaced or corrected either by Buyer or by Seller at Seller's expense, including any travel, transportation or other incidental or required costs which may be incurred.
    2. Seller’s guarantee, and Buyer’s Guarantee rights against Sellers, shall be separately assignable to the Government.
      Back to top
  6. Inspection and Acceptance.
    1. Buyer may require Seller to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to this Contract, and Buyer may equitably reduce the Contract price to reflect the reduced value of any defective Contract Work accepted by Buyer that cannot be corrected by reperformance, repair or replacement. If any such defect is discovered between the Vessel’s acceptance trials and preliminary acceptance of the Vessel by the Government, any and all such defects shall be corrected and made good within twenty (20) days of notice thereof by Buyer to Seller.
    2. The Government may, from time to time, designate certain Contract Work for Government Quality Assurance at Source (GQAS). Upon such designation, the Seller shall furnish advance notification of the time (i) when Seller’s inspection or tests will be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract and (ii) when the Contract Work will be ready for Government inspection. The period and method of the advance notification, and the Government representative to whom it shall be furnished, shall be specified by the Government, but shall not require more than two (2) workdays of advance notification if the Government representative is in residence in the Seller’s plant, nor more than seven (7) workdays in other instances.
    3. Final acceptance of the Vessel by the Government shall be conclusive except with respect to latent defects, fraud or gross mistakes amounting to fraud. In such cases, Buyer, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law, or under other provisions of this Contract, shall have the right to require Seller (i) at no increase in the Contract price, to repair or replace the defective or nonconforming Contract Work at the original point of delivery, or at Seller's plant, or at the location of the Vessel at Buyer's election, and in accordance with a reasonable delivery schedule as may be agreed upon between Seller and Buyer; provided, that Buyer may require a reduction in Contract price if Seller fails to meet such delivery schedule, or (ii) within a reasonable time after receipt by Seller of notice of defects or nonconformance, to repay such portion of the Contract as is equitable under the circumstances if Buyer elects not to require correction or replacement. When Contract Work is returned to Seller, Seller shall bear the transportation cost from the original point of delivery to Seller's plant and return to the original point when that point is not Seller's plant. If Seller fails to perform or act as required in (i) or (ii) above and does not cure such failure within a period of ten (10) days (or such longer period as Buyer may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from Buyer specifying such failure, Buyer shall have the right to replace or repair such Contract Work and charge to Seller the cost occasioned Buyer thereby.
      Back to top

  7. Logistic Support Requirement NAVSEA 5252.227-9112 (AT) (MAY 1998).
    1. This clause applies whenever the Contract Specifications, by reference to a Military Specification or otherwise, specify repair parts or stock components (hereinafter called "repair parts") for a Vessel component or item of equipment.
    2. With respect to Vessel components or equipments manufactured other than in the United States or Canada, Seller agrees that, in addition to any other data required by this Contract, it will furnish under this Contract sufficient data so that the repair parts can be reproduced in the United States or Canada unless the suppliers of the ship components or equipments shall have made arrangements approved by the Buyer for the manufacturing of repair parts in the United States or Canada.

  12. Refunds (Spares and Support Equipment) (NAVSEA) (SEP 1990).
    1. In the event that the price of a spare part or item of support equipment delivered under this Contract significantly exceeds its intrinsic value, Seller agrees to refund the difference. Refunds will only be made for the difference between the intrinsic value of the item at the time an agreement on price was reached and the Contract price. Refunds will not be made to recoup the amount of cost decreases that occur over time due to productivity gains (beyond economic purchase quantity consideration) or changes in market conditions.
    2. For purposes of this requirement, the intrinsic value of an item is defined as follows:
      1. If the item is one which is sold or is substantially similar or functionally equivalent to one that is sold in substantial quantities to the general public, intrinsic value is the established catalog or market price, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, packaging, or labeling.
      2. If there is no comparable item sold in substantial quantities to the general public, intrinsic value is defined as the price an individual would expect to pay for the item based upon an economic purchase quantity as defined in FAR 52.207-4, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, packaging or labeling.
    3. At any time up to two years after delivery of a spare part or item of support equipment, Buyer may notify Seller that based on all information available at the time of the notice, the price of the part or item apparently exceeds its intrinsic value.
    4. If notified in accordance with paragraph (c) above, Seller agrees to enter into good faith negotiations with Buyer to determine if, and in what amount, Buyer is entitled to a refund.
    5. If agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above cannot be reached, and Buyer’s return of the new or unused item to Seller is practical, Buyer, subject to Seller’s agreement, may elect to return the item to Seller. Upon return of the item to its original point of Buyer’s acceptance, Seller shall refund in full the price paid. If no agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above is reached, and return of the item by Buyer is impractical, Buyer may adjust the Contract price downward by the amount of the refund to which Buyer believes it is entitled, subject to Seller appeal as provided in the Disputes clause of this Contract.
    6. Seller will make refunds, as required under this requirement, in accordance with instructions from Buyer’s Purchasing representative.
    7. Seller shall not be liable for a refund if Seller advised Buyer in a timely manner that the price it would propose for a spare part or item of equipment exceeded its intrinsic value, and with such advice, specified the estimated proposed price, the estimated intrinsic value and known alternative sources or item, if any that can meet the requirement.
    8. This requirement does not apply to any spare parts or items of support equipment whose price is determined through adequate price competition. This requirement does not apply to any spare part or item of support equipment with a unit price in excess of $100,000; or in excess of $25,000 if Seller submitted, and certified the currency, accuracy and completeness of cost or pricing data applicable to the item.
      Back to top
  13. Requirements for Domestic Manufacture of Certain Shipboard Systems and Equipment (H-35).
    1. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2218 and 10 U.S.C. 7291, if Seller is providing propulsion systems, Seller warrants and represents that their main components (i.e., engines, reduction gears and propellers) are manufactured in the United States.
    2. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2218 and 10 U.S.C. 7291, if Seller is providing bridge or machinery control systems or interior communications equipment, Seller warrants and represents that they are both manufactured in the United States and have more than half of their value, in terms of cost, added in the United States.
    3. Seller agrees to retain until the expiration of three (3) years from the date of the Government’s final payment to Buyer under the Prime Contract and make available during such period, upon request of Buyer, records showing compliance with this paragraph 13.
    4. Seller agrees to insert this paragraph 13, including this subparagraph (d), in every subcontract, purchase order and option agreement issued in performance of this Contract.
      Back to top
  14. Technology Refreshment (Section C, Item 1.2.1.10).
    1. Seller shall implement a technology refreshment program to ensure that Seller furnished systems, subsystems, equipment and software are not technologically obsolete at Contract Products delivery. Technology shall be considered to be obsolete and Seller shall replace with current technology if any one of the following criteria is met:
      1. Products not in production or expected to be phased out of production by the original equipment manufacturer within two (2) years following Vessel delivery to the Government.
      2. Products no longer commercially supported or any component without a supplier documented plan to support for seven (7) years following Vessel delivery to the Government.
      3. Products whose maintenance costs exceed replacement costs with current technology.
    2. Seller shall ensure that refreshments incorporated do not degrade performance. Seller shall develop a technology refreshment plan that cyclically removes technically antiquated or unsupported equipment and replaces it with technically superior equipment.
    3. For refreshment items that will increase the cost of Contract performance, removal of technically antiquated or unsupported equipment and replacement with technically superior equipment shall not occur without prior Buyer approval.
      Back to top
  15. Year 2000 Warranty - Information Technology (NAVSEA) (FEB 1999).
    1. All information technology ("IT"), whether commercial or noncommercial, delivered under this Contract that will be required to perform date/time processing involving dates subsequent to December 31, 1999, shall be Year 2000 compliant if properly installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the Specifications and applicable documentation. If this Contract requires that specific deliverables operate together as a system, this requirement shall apply to those deliverables as a system.
    2. "Information Technology" or "IT," as used in this requirement, means "information technology" as that term is defined at FAR 2.101, and further including those items that would otherwise be excluded by paragraph (c) of that definition. "Year 2000 compliant" (as defined at FAR 39.002) means that the IT accurately processes data/time data (including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing, and sequencing) from, into, and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000 and leap year calculations, to the extent that other IT, used in combination with the IT being delivered, properly exchanges date/time data with it. The "proper exchange" of date/time data shall be in accordance with the interface requirements specification(s) of this Contract.
    3. For line item deliverables which are commercial items (as defined at FAR 2.101), and which include commercial IT, the terms and conditions of the standard commercial warranty covering such commercial IT shall apply in addition to, and to the extent such terms and conditions are consistent with, this requirement. Any applicable commercial warranty shall be incorporated into this Contract by attachment.
    4. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any other warranty of this Contract, or in the absence of any such warranty(ies), the remedies available to Buyer under this requirement shall include those provided in the Inspection and Acceptance paragraph of this Contract. Nothing in this requirement shall be construed to limit any rights or remedies which Buyer may otherwise have under this Contract.
    5. Unless specifies elsewhere in this Contract, Seller will also deliver to Buyer a report summarizing any Year 2000 compliance testing that was performed, and the results thereof.
    6. The remedies available to Buyer for noncompliance with this requirement shall remain available until January 31, 2001, or one hundred eighty (180) days after acceptance of the last deliverable IT item under this Contract (including any options exercised hereunder), whichever is later.
