These withdraw requests shall be initiated by the contractor with an email request to the USG TPOC and AMS. The USG will respond to the contractor request for withdrawal with the specific propellant batch number(s) of the GFP that needs to be withdrawn from storage. Once the contractor completes the GFP withdrawal to fulfill the production requirements of the contract, and accounts for any production loss, and/or any remaining propellant accounted as overage, the contractor shall update the inventory record, included in this contract as attachment 1, and submit that amended report to the TPOC and AMS for approval.

Once the contractor completes this GFP withdrawal, the contractor shall update the GFP inventory reflected in attachment 1, and submit that updated inventory to the USG TPOC and AMS. The contractor shall complete up to two withdrawals and palletizations for overseas shipments to a USG facility during the period of performance of this contract.
