In addition to initial fill and final shipment, the Government will be entitled to allowed throughput equal to two turnovers of the awarded fill capacity during each 12-month period. (Initial fill is defined as all receipts required to completely fill 100% of the awarded fill capacity. Turnover of the awarded fill capacity is defined as the total receipts in a 12-month performance period plus the total issues in the same 12-month period, divided by two.)

C-1.5.1 Excess Throughput: Throughput that exceeds the allowed throughput quantity is considered excess throughput. Offerors shall include any additional charge for excess throughput quantities, quantities in excess of initial fill, final shipment and the allowed throughput, in their offeror submission.
