maintenance form will be filled out and submitted to TACOM. Refer to Appendix A for procedures to fill

c. Invalid Claims. When supplies returned for warranty repair or replacement are found to be serviceable,
or subjected to abuse, or are found in conflict with the conditions of this warranty the contractor shall
notify TACOM. The user shall pay all reasonable costs incurred.
d. Denials/Claim Disputes. Maximum cooperation between the contractor or their representatives,
TACOM/WARCO, and the User is both desirable and necessary. Warranty claims should not deadline
equipment. Specific facts/evidence, including photographs and/or sketches should be forwarded
through the WARCO to TACOM as quickly as possible to enable TACOM to provide notice to the
contractor and to enable the Contracting Officer to evaluate the contractor's analysis and recommenda-
tions and issue a determination to the contractor as to action to be taken. Follow the local SOP and the
Procedures detailed in this bulletin when there is a sufficient evidence that a warranted part(s) is defective
and that replacement parts and/or services are due the Government. All disputes will be handled by
TACOM in conjunction with the contractor or their representatives.
e. Reporting. Repotting and recording actions on failed items shall follow specifications in DA PAM
738-750 or DA PAM 738-751.
f. How to Fill Out Warranty Claims and Identification Tags. Refer to Appendix A for complete procedures.
12. STORAGE/SHIPMENT/HANDLING. For shipment and storage of equipment refer to TM 740-90, TM
746-10, MIL-STD-129, AR-700-15 and DA PAM 738-750.
