The report shall include the extent of the inspection, condition found on all major components, outstanding service bulletins and airworthiness directives that must be complied with, and any recommendations for maintenance that would prevent future failures if applicable. The teardown/discrepancy report and contractor recommendations will be reviewed by the COR.

The Contractor may be required to subcontract out inspection, maintenance, overhaul, and repair work. The Government reserves the right to approve or disapprove any subcontractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for all FAA and AOC required documentation to include but not limited to approval for return to service.

Discrepancies that are not a part of the inspection will be known as "Over and Above." Corrective actions as a result of the inspection are considered "Over and Above" items. Any part or component that has not reached its recommended service life, but fails inspection and needs to be replaced, is considered an "Over and Above" item.

Direct labor hours are at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit. Cost of materials includes parts, consumables, other material, and appropriate material handling costs, if any.
