AND PRODUCTION PHASES

DELIVERY INCENTIVE PLAN

16 September 2022

1. General

1.1. This Incentive Plan for the T-6A Avionics Replacement Program (ARP) Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction (TMRR), Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) and the Production Phases, Contract FA8106-23-D-#### (CLINs 0005, 0008, 0014, 0018, 0021), is the basis for evaluation of the contractor’s performance; and furthermore, the assessment of that performance for the application of incentive determination. It describes the specific criteria, incentive and disincentive distribution, and procedures used to determine the amount of incentive earned or forfeited.

1.2. This incentive arrangement will incentivize outstanding contractor performance based on the incentive pool and criteria. Incentive determinations outlined in this plan utilize objective criteria established at contract award. The process is based on review of the contractor’s performance against the criteria set forth in this plan.

2. Incentive/Disincentive Pool

2.1. The Total Delivery Incentive Pool are listed in Table 1 and Table 3 on the following page. The incentivized objectives were developed to achieve desired contractor performance outcomes.

2.2. The Aircraft Modification Delivery (disincentive) penalty in Table 2 will be administered for aircraft deliveries considered late from scheduled delivery date.

2.3. The incentive/disincentive for each of the areas shall be calculated on an independent or stand-alone basis and are listed in Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6.

3. Incentive Process

3.1. Objective performance incentives have been designed to relate the incentive to the results achieved by the contractor based on specified objectives as stated in this plan. The critical aspects to exceed the contracted effort have been chosen to incentivize performance above minimum contract requirements.

3.2. The contractor’s performance for Delivery Incentive areas one (1) through three (3) in Table 1 and incentive areas one (1) and two (2) Table 3 will be assessed against the established completion criteria as set forth in Section 6.

3.3. The contractor’s performance for Delivery Disincentive areas one (1) in Table 2 will be assessed against the established completion criteria as set forth in Section 6.

4. Organization Responsibilities

4.1. The Government Contracting Officer will provide the contractor notification of the incentive earned as determined by application of the completion criteria and methodology set forth herein.

4.2. Any requirement completion delays attributable to the contractor’s performance will not warrant adjustments for incentive purposes. Any Government caused delays that effect requirement completion will be a basis for the contractor to submit a request for a day for day adjustment to the scheduled delivery date.

5. Delivery Incentive

5.1. The Contractor may earn schedule/performance incentive (Section 6.1-6.5) not exceeding a total of $4.750M or in Section 6.6 the contractor may be accessed a penalty to payment for schedule/performance disincentive in accordance with criteria specified in Section 6 below.

7. Delivery Incentive/Disincentive Validation Procedures

7.1. Incentive: At the time the associated CLIN listed in Table 1 or 3 above is ordered, its corresponding incentive CLIN will also be ordered at the maximum earnable performance incentive; however, the contractor shall not invoice until the validation process outlined in 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 below has determined the appropriate incentive earned and a contract modification outlining the appropriate amount has been signed and distributed by the CO.

7.2. Disincentive: At the time CLIN 0024 and 1024 (listed in Table 2) is ordered, the full amount will be placed on contract. A withhold of $70,000.00 per aircraft will be placed upon the CLIN. In the event contractor performance against CLIN 0024 and 1024 is timely or less than three (3) calendar days overdue, the CO will issue a modification removing the withhold within thirty (30) calendar days of the delivery validation. After the withhold is removed, the contractor may invoice the remaining amount. If the Contractor is more than three (3) calendar days late, the CO will issue a modification reducing the price of CLIN 0024 and 1024 by $70,000.00.

7.3. The Contractor will set the base dates for the aircraft system PDR, CDR, and TRR and ATD system PDR and CDR in the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) delivered after contract award. The IMS dates will be developed to meet the USG required schedules for the ARP program and approved by the USG.

7.4. In preparation for aircraft system PDR, CDR, and TRR or ATD system PDR and

CDR, the contractor shall deliver submittal(s), covering the complete list of Validation /Entry Criteria to the Program Office (PO), Chief Engineer (CE), and staff. Fourteen (14) calendar days are allowed for the PO CE and staff to review, approve, or disapprove the submittal(s), covering the complete list of Validation/Entry Criteria for aircraft system PDR, CDR and TRR and ATD system PDR and CDR.

Fourteen (14) calendar days are allowed for the contractor after receipt of questions from CE and staff and/or comments (if required) to review and respond (or correct).

Seven (7) calendar days are then allowed for the CE and staff to review the newly submitted documentation for further comments or acceptance. Any further questions or comments will then require the Contractor and the CE and staff to respond in a Seven (7) calendar day cycle until accepted.

Once all Validation/Entry Criteria are complete, delivered, and approved, the Contractor shall schedule the required PDR, CDR, or TRR no earlier than seven (7) calendar days to allow PO and the contractor to prepare for the meeting and required travel. The completion date for the event will be the date of successful completion and approval of the PDR, CDR or TRR Exit criteria.

7.5. A DD250 shall be submitted via WAWF with inspection/acceptance at destination (contracting officer) for review and payment authorization or denial. The PO and CE and staff will review the applicable validation criteria and the ARP PM will approve (via e-mail) that all criteria have been met prior to payment authorization, of an otherwise proper invoice by the CO. Fourteen (14) calendar days are then allowed from PO approval for the CO to authorize payment.
