Schedule Incentive (MTN Delivery)

The Government considers schedule to be critical to mission success. Timely delivery of the MTN is essential, and any delay could significantly impact program cost, launch readiness, and downstream mission activities. The Contractor's performance against the schedule is therefore a key metric factor for this contract.

a) The Contractor proposed a schedule Incentive in the amount of $ TBP which will be paid if the Contractor successfully completes the (vendor-defined milestone associated with readiness to ship) on or before the contract delivery date and ALL contractual requirements are met for Acceptance.

b) If the MTN is delivered late, or if any contractual requirements are not met at Final Acceptance, the incentive will not be paid.

c) If a delay is caused solely by the Government, the Contracting Officer will adjust the delivery date for incentive purposes.

d) No additional incentive is available for early delivery.

Schedule Incentive (Commissioning)

The Government considers schedule to be critical to mission success. Timely delivery of the MTN is essential, and any delay could significantly impact program cost, launch readiness, and downstream mission activities. The Contractor's performance against the schedule is therefore a key metric factor for this contract.

a) The Contractor proposed a schedule Incentive in the amount of $ TBP which will be paid if the Contractor successfully achieves its mission orbit and completes the Relay

Commissioning activities at Mars on or before the contract delivery date and ALL contractual requirements are met for Acceptance.

b) If the MTN is delivered late, or if any contractual requirements are not met at Acceptance, the incentive will not be paid.

c) If a delay is caused solely by the Government, the Contracting Officer will adjust the delivery date for incentive purposes.

d). No additional incentive is available for early delivery.

Performance Incentive (Mission Operations)

During Phase-E, the Government considers yearly performance thresholds to be critical to successful mission execution. Consistent achievement of these requirements directly affects mission readiness, integration planning, and overall program risk. The Government places high importance on meeting these yearly thresholds as defined in the contract.

a) The Contractor proposed a performance incentive in the amount of $ TBP which will be paid if the Contractor meets all yearly threshold performance requirements identified in Attachment B

- MTN Objectives and Requirements document for the performance period for which the options are exercised.

b) If the Contractor does not meet all required performance thresholds for a given year, the incentive for that year will not be paid.

c) If the Government is the sole cause of the Contractor's inability to meet a threshold requirement, the Contracting Officer will adjust the affected requirement or performance period for incentive purposes.

d) No additional incentive is available for early delivery.

Contractors must have formal policies and procedures, which address the validation of the electronic annual property or final property submission data, including data from subcontractors, and the identification and timely reporting of errors. The objective of this validation is to ensure that information reported is accurate and in compliance with the NASA FAR Supplement. If errors are discovered on the electronic annual or final property submission after submittal the contractor must contact the cognizant NASA Center Industrial Property Officer (IPO) within 10 days after discovery of the error to discuss corrective action. If there is an error found during the Contractor’s property submission, it will be disapproved, and Contractor will receive an automatic email explaining what is needed for it to be approved.

(3) In addition to an annual report, if at any time during performance of the contract, NASA-owned property in the custody of the Contractor has a value of $10 million or more, the Contractor must also submit a report no later than the 21st of each month in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (c)(2) of this clause.

Such reserve must be withheld until the Contracting Officer has determined that NASA has received the required reports. The withholding of any amount or the subsequent payment thereof must not be construed as a waiver of any Government right.

(d) An electronic final report must be submitted in the APSR/NESS within 30 days after disposition of all property subject to reporting when the contract performance period is complete in accordance with paragraph (b)

(1) through (3) of this clause.

The NF 1018 shall reflect the corrected numbers and the contractor shall provide a note regarding the corrected monthly report error under Comments in the NF

1018.) Errors in the NF1018 found after the November 30 submission shall be reported as adjustments in the NF 1018 for the next reporting year, unless immediate correction and resubmission are directed by

NASA.
