The Department of the Navy has referred to our Office a claim in the amount of $2,589,.039 against the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Vought Systems Division, LTV Aerospace Corpora- tion (Vought), of Dallas, Texas, for post-delivery support for A-7 aircraft during the period May 1, 1968,. through June 30, 1970. From the contracting officer's letter accompanying the claim and from the files and documents enclosed therewith, and a letter and documentation from the claimant, the essential facts appear to be as follows: During the currency of a production contract for a particular Navy airplane model the contractor is expected to provide a wide variety of support services which are required for the ful- fillment of the Navy's mission. The obligation to provide these support services terminates with the delivery of the last pro- duction unit. (apart from defect corrections within contract warranty provisions) unless there is contractual coverage for an extension of these -services. Any further support efforts re- quired by the Navy after the delivery of the last production. unit are referred to as Out of Production/Out of Warranty Support ('OP/OOWS), which includes such activities as fleet support, response to customer correspondence, accident investigation, preparation of various engineering change proposals, attendence at conferences, and trainer support. g- • 717- -F '''YNK wll -,,- t: ., __ :-. .. . - * .m.n.:iV . 4 ;2 ;w :TL. ? r =.:R.,N,.N... •
