(c) ADMINISTRATION AND DELIVERABLES:

(1) ADMINISTRATION:

(i) Scheduling: At least 60 days prior to the beginning of each government fiscal year (October through September), the COR shall provide the contractor an annual estimated quota requirement for the upcoming government fiscal year.

At least 90 days prior to the beginning of each quarter, the Contractor shall provide class availability dates to the Government scheduling POCs and accept draft schedules from them. The names and contact information of the Government scheduling POCs will be provided to the contractor by the COR/ACOR. Draft schedules shall be completed through the Government scheduling POCs and contractor. The draft schedules are non-binding.

At least 45 days prior to the quarter, the contractor shall send the negotiated draft schedule to the COR/ACOR who will then assign CTN numbers and send the completed schedule back to the contractor and the Government scheduling POCs for confirmation. After assignment of CTNs and confirmation, all schedules become binding. Any changes made to the schedule after confirmation by both the contractor and the Government scheduling POC’s must be in writing (email/telefax) and approved by the COR/ACOR.

(ii) The purchase unit for all training courses will be per individual "person" (student trainee) for all courses. The Government will strive to send full crews (two pilots) to the C-37A Pilot Initial and full crews (two pilots and one Crew Chief) to the C-37A Pilot/Crew Chief Recurrent Training course classes. In the event there is a lone/non-paired Military pilot, pairing with another military or civilian student (when available) is acceptable to allow for both PF and PNF PTT and simulator training. In this pairing instance, the lone/non-paired pilot shall receive both the PF and PNF portions of the PTT and simulator training. When this pairing is done, the checklist applicable to the PF will be used. If there are no military or civilian students available to pair with the lone pilot, the Government will send a Qualified Pilot (at no additional charge) to sit in the right seat/PNF portion of PTT and simulator training. The lone pilot shall receive left seat/PF only portions of PTT and simulator training. Crew Chief training shall not be conducted in the case of a lone/non-paired pilot unless the C-37A Military pilot can be paired with another military pilot who agrees to the Crew Chief training.

(iii) Class periodicity shall be scheduled to allow for year-round availability that meets maximum trainee throughput rates delineated in paragraph (d) with allowances for surges in quarterly average (possible higher throughput during summer months).

(iv) Cancellation of Quotas: The Government may unilaterally cancel any scheduled trainee quota up to 30 calendar days (or less as proposed by Offeror) prior to the scheduled start date of a class at no cost to the Government. If the Government quota cancellation is made 29 days or less prior to the start of the training, the Contractor shall be paid the unit price for that particular class, provided the contractor is unable to fill the canceled quota from another source (e.g. military or civilian), and further provided that this unfilled quota is substantiated in the supporting documentation (i.e. "Contractor Certificate Letter of Training") attached to the invoice. In the case of an emergency (i.e. death, injury, illness, mission essential task, or any emergency which requires the scheduled training to be cancelled in the best interest of the Government), the Government will not be liable for payment. The "NO SHOWS", or cancelled quotas that could not be filled, shall be noted in the "Contractor Certificate Letter of Training."
