The provided Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for contractors to refurbish items, specifically a digital protractor, to a like-new condition for the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The refurbishment processes include evaluation, repair, calibration, performance testing, and any approved software/hardware updates following Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. Contractors must track serial numbers for validation, perform inspections, address defects, and replace defective parts with new ones. Items deemed Beyond Economical Repair (BER) will only receive payment for teardown and evaluation, with the USCG making final determinations. Contractors must maintain an ISO 9001-2000 compliant quality system and provide calibration certifications post-overhaul. The USCG reserves rights for oversight, including the review of compliance documentation and conducting inspections. The document emphasizes adherence to OEM guidelines and specifics that guide contractors in ensuring items are returned to a Ready for Issue (RFI) condition while maintaining quality and compliance standards throughout the process.
