Enclosure 3 Milestones Template.xlsx

The file is a Milestone Payment Schedule template for the Quad City Cartridge Case Facility Other Transaction Agreement (OTA). The template provides a detailed 24-month milestone tracking framework with percentage-based payment progression, allowing for flexible milestone definitions with a requirement that the final milestone represents at least 10% of the total project cost. The document is directly related to a Department of the Army solicitation for prototype whitepapers focused on developing manufacturing capabilities for defense and potentially commercial cartridge case production.

The milestone template supports the underlying solicitation's core objective of maintaining critical defense industrial base capabilities, specifically the production of steel and brass cases for direct and indirect fire munitions. The facility aims to produce a minimum of 3,000 units per month across various case types, including M148A1B1 105mm Steel Direct Fire Case, M14 105mm Brass Indirect Fire Case, Navy cases (5", 57" brass, 76mm brass), and Bofurs 40mm L60 & L70 Brass Cases. The payment schedule allows contractors to map their technical and production milestones against a structured financial progression over the project's duration.
