Option periods are subject to the availability of funds in accordance with FAR 52.232-18. Performance Work Statement: 1.0Remote Diagnostics: Remote diagnostics will be utilized when all on-site support has failed to resolve the problem. The contractor will be responsible to respond, investigate and resolve situations encountered in the operation and maintenance of the switch systems that require remote diagnostics service when so requested. If the problem cannot be resolved by remote diagnostics service, the contractor will dispatch appropriate field service support personnel to the site to resolve the problem at an additional charge (refer to 2.0 below). The contractor will provide the site with phone numbers, addresses and POCs for the remote diagnostics facilities. The Government Technical POC will provide a list of personnel authorized to call out this service under the specific delivery order in place for that specific site. Remote diagnostics for the telephone switching system will be available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, including holidays for the switches. Remote diagnostics for the ACOMS/TMS/ADAS shall be available as offered commercially by the manufacturer. 1.1Repair and Return: The contractor will perform manufacturer level support for all Nortel Networks switch systems as required.

The contractor will provide the site with phone numbers, addresses and POCs at the repair and return facilities. The contractor will repair, or provide a new or repaired functionally equivalent replacement item(s), to the customer within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the defective item(s). Unless otherwise directed, all shipments shall be made to the requesting unit's return address. The contractor will be responsible for shipment of the repaired or replacement item(s) to the customer.

The Government will ship by registered mail or other traceable means, the defective item(s) for repair to the contractor's designated repair facility, attaching appropriate tags and providing all necessary information identified by the contractor regarding the defective item(s).

Each delivery order will identify the individuals at the site authorized to request this service. If the Government requests emergency replacement service, the contractor will ship the required emergency replacement item(s) by the end of the next day via overnight delivery in response to a verbal emergency replacement request from the site Government POC. In the event that emergency replacement service is required to a location not served by overnight delivery, the contractor will use the most expeditious shipping method available. This service shall be provided on a 7 days-a-week, 24 hours-a-day basis, including holidays. Upon receipt of an emergency repair/return replacement item at the site, the Government will return an identical defective item(s) to the contractor's facility within 30 calendar days. In the event the defective materials(s) are not received at the contractor's facility within the allowable 30 days, the Government will automatically be billed for the materials shipped by the contractor to satisfy the emergency replacement request. The charge will represent the current price level in the contract for the item(s). 1.2Technical Documentation Updates: The contractor will provide changes, revisions and updates for all commercial technical documentation/publications required to support the equipment covered under the contract. 2.0 Field Service Support: If remote diagnostics are unable to resolve the problem, the contractor will notify the COR in writing including the estimated costs of labor and material to make the repair.
