DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES/SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY'S NEEDS. The action being processed is for the repair of the 4-Channel FXS printed circuit assembly (PCA), evaluation of the T1/E1 PCA, and repairs to the chassis assembly of this Shout 900 Multi-function Voice Switch, serial # 01-90120. This non-warranty damage was incurred during shipment inside a transit case. This Shout 900 Multi-function Voice Switch has been deployed and used under austere field conditions. There was no misuse or abuse of the unit that resulted in the damage. This unit is an integral part of our deployed communications architecture both stateside and in the AOR. It provides critical command and control communications to combatant commanders and other DOD customers. The cost for this repair is $6,012.50. IV.
