5.0 OPERATIONAL SURGE VARIATION IN REPAIRABLES (7R) REQUISITION RATE (CLINs 0023 thru 0029 and 0058 thru 0064)

It is recognized that due to unforeseen circumstances affecting the usage of CASS and RTCASS stations during the contract period of performance, the requisition rate may fluctuate. The unforeseen circumstances include such activities as international conflict and operations tempo of Naval activities that cannot be reasonably predicted during the establishment of the expected contract. Accordingly, the parties agree to enter into negotiations to establish an equitable adjustment should the actual 7R requisition rate, caused by these circumstances, exceed or fall below the parameters established in the paragraph below. Requisition rate increases caused by Contractor lack of diligence shall not be recognized under this clause.

The 7R requisition rate will be established by the Contractor for Fleet and Non-Fleet activities for both CASS and RTCASS. Should the aggregate average number of requisitions, during any continuous six-month period, exceed or fall below a variation of 20% of the established requisition rate, the parties shall enter into negotiations for an equitable adjustment.
