B 89% - 89.9% -1% C 88% - 88.9% -2% D 87% - 87.9 % -3% E 86% - 86.9% -4%

F 85.9% and Below

F.4.7 The calculation of the OTD disincentive fee is as follows:

OTD Disincentive Fee = Total number of orders on time/Total number of orders. For example:

Total number of orders on time = 85 Total number of orders = 100 OTD disincentive fee = -5% (100/85= 85%)

(14) calendar days from the end of the preceding month.

The appropriate credit based on the challenge result will be issued by DLA Aviation within thirty

(30) days. In determining cause of delay, the contracting officer must consider the information provided by awardee; however, the contracting officer makes the final determination, in accordance with 52.233-1 (May 2014).
