Non-Recurring Maintenance
The AFC-43 maintenance plans are for all non-recurring, maintenance or improvement projects
costing k or more. AFC-43 projects are initiated by submitting Shore Station Maintenance
Records (SSMRs) to the servicing CEU for approval. The CEU, along with the respective
district Planned Operational Priorities (POP) boards, prioritize AFC-43 projects annually. Such
projects should be anticipated well in advance and incorporated into the Representational
Facilities' Master Plan to generate SSMRs. AFC-43 expenditures in excess of k per year, per
Representational Facility, must be approved by Commandant (G-S). The Financial Resource
Management Manual, COMDTINST M7100.3(series), provides further guidance on AFC-43 vs.
AFC-30 expenditures. Note: The acquisition process for AFC-43 services should be
coordinated with either a CEU or ISC Contracting Official.
Furnishings and Appliances
As a general rule, AFC-43 covers repair or replacement of components that are an integral, built-
in component of the facility and exceed K. It also covers major, non-consumable equipment
needed to support the facility. If an appliance, furnishing or component is freestanding, or if its
cost does not exceed K, then it is considered an AFC-30 expense. Otherwise, it is usually an
AFC-43 expense. Although free-standing appliances such as portable dishwashers, refrigerators,
and washer-dryers are normally considered AFC-30 expenditures, they are not considered
furnishings in the sense that they do not count against the annual k furnishings limit.
The quality of materials and workmanship used to maintain, repair, or rehabilitate furnishings
and equipment will be consistent with the planned use. Use materials more durable than the
original only if anticipated reductions in future maintenance costs within the expected period of
use will offset the increased cost. Limit furnishings and equipment maintenance and repair to
what is essential to keep items in a serviceable condition and to protect the Government's
investment. Government-owned carpets, rugs, and drapes may be cleaned at Government
expense. Repairs to authorized Government-owned furnishings will not exceed 75 percent of
replacement costs. See Supply Policy and Procedures Manual, COMDTINST M4400.19(series)
for further guidance.
Where possible, use AFC-30-funded commercial contracts or GSA services to maintain and/or
repair furnishings. To obtain the benefit of volume prices for contracted work, activities
reasonably close to the source of service should coordinate to combine repair and continuing
maintenance requirements under one contract. Inspect furnishings periodically to determine
need for repairs. To minimize the number of inspections in occupied units, inspect on change of
occupancy and during regular inspections unless surveying for a replacement program of
significant magnitude. It is equally important to frequently inspect the condition of storage
spaces and items in storage and take any action necessary to protect them.
