As prescribed in 5315.209-90(h), insert the following provision, substantially as written, in Section L:
ENGINEERING DATA (AFMC) (OCT 2008)
(a) In the event that the offeror proposes an alternate part number to the Government's requirement in the contract schedule, the offeror shall provide a copy of the product drawings with their offer. If the Government awards a contract for the proposed alternate part, the drawings furnished with the proposal will be retained by the Government and used only as authorized by DFARS 252.227-7015, Technical Data-Commercial Items. In the event that the Government does not accept the alternate part number, the drawings provided with the proposal shall be returned to the offeror. The Government does not intend to pay for the drawings provided with the proposal. In the event that the Government desires to procure the drawings for use in repair or re-procurement, a line item may be added to the instant contract or a separate contract for the data may be awarded.
(b) The offeror is solely responsible for determining that the proposed part is equal to and interchangeable with the part originally required in the schedule. The Government's review of the data furnished for the purposes described above does not constitute agreement that the proposed part is equal to or interchangeable with the part originally required. By submission of its offer, the offeror warrants such alternate part to be equal to and completely interchangeable with the part originally required. In the event that the alternate part is not equal to and completely interchangeable with the part originally required, the items shall be returned to the offeror for replacement with the originally required part at no cost to the Government. In addition, the offeror shall be liable for any shipping costs associated with return and replacement of the items as well as any additional inspection and acceptance costs to the Government for the replacement items.
