The Government's acceptance of the contractor'sproposal constitutes bilateral agreement to ""issue"" contractual documents asdetailed here in. 2. Quote to be a firm fixed price for the full repair of the item. Thisincludes the teardown, evaluation, inspection and full repair of the item to""like new"" or ""A"" condition. See statement of work in solicitation. A beyond repair (BR)/ beyond economic repair (BER) price shall also be Provided in addition to the repair price at time submission of quote. Do NOT include the cost for shipping material as the government implementedshipping system or ATAC will be shipping/delivering material. 3. This contract utilizes Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV). See clauseNAVSUPWSSFA25 for further details. 4. THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE IS HEREBY INCORPORATED: CONTRACT CLAUSE FOR PROTECTION OF NAVAL NUCLEAR PROPULSION INFORMATION During the performance of this contract Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (NNPI (NOFORN)) may be developed or used. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information is defined as that information and/or hardware concerning the design, arrangement, development, manufacturing, testing, operation, administration, training, maintenance, and repair of the propulsion plants of Naval Nuclear Powered Ships, including the associated shipboard and shore-based nuclear support facilities. Appropriate safeguards must be proposed by the contractor, and approved by the Contracting Officer for Security for the safeguarding from actual, potential, or inadvertent release by the contractor, or any subcontractor, of any NNPI (NOFORN) in any form, classified or unclassified. Such safeguards shall ensure that only governmental and contractor parties, including subcontractors that have an established need-to-know, have access in order to perform work under this contract, and then only under conditions which assure that the information is properly protected. Access by foreign nationals or immigrant aliens is not permitted. A foreign national or immigrant alien is defined as a person not a United States citizen or a United States national. United States citizens representing a foreign government, foreign private interests or other foreign nationals, are considered to be foreign nationals for industrial security purposes and the purpose of this restriction. In addition, any and all issue or release of such information beyond such necessary parties, whether or not ordered through an administrative or judicial tribunal, shall be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer for Security. The Contracting Officer for Security shall be immediately notified of any litigation, subpoenas, or requests which either seek or may result in the release of NNPI (NOFORN). In the event that a court or administrative order makes immediate review by the Contracting Officer for Security impractical, the contractor agrees to take all necessary steps to notify the court or administrative body of the Navy's interest in controlling the release of such information through review and concurrence in any release. The Contracting Agency reserves the right to audit contractor facilities for compliance with the above restrictions. Exceptions to these requirements may only be obtained with prior approval from the Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (SEA 09B2). Additional guidance may be obtained from NAVSEA Instruction 5511.32 5. This requirement requires access to confidential drawings. These drawings are not required to submit a quote. However, in the event of an award, a facility clearance shall be required in accordance with FAR 52.204-2. 1. SCOPE 1.1 The material covered in this contract/purchase order will be used in a crucial shipboard system. The use of incorrect or defective material would create a high probability of failure resulting in serious personnel injury, loss of life, loss of vital shipboard systems, or loss of the ship itself. Therefore, the material has been designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) and special control procedures are invoked to ensure receipt of correct material. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1 Order of Precedence - In the event of a conflict between the text of this contract/purchase order and the references and/or drawings cited herein, the text of this contract/purchase order must take precedence. Nothing in this contract/purchase order, however, must supersede applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained. 2.2 Applicable Documents - The document(s) listed below form a part of this contract/purchase order including modifications or exclusions. 2.2.1 Documents, drawings, and publications supplied are listed under ""Drawing Number"".
