• Remanufacture Turn Around Time (RTAT): Defined as the duration between the delivery of an unserviceable asset to the remanufacturing facility and the time the overhauled serviceable asset is completed and ready for DCMA sign off and shipment back to the Government. This applies to sub-component / individual item remanufacture for USAF material.

• Sub-component Support: The contractor is required to provide 100% sub-component field-level support for USAF material.

• ELT Target: 75 days (remanufacture) + 7 days (transportation/shipment) = 82 days total.

• RTAT Target: Defined by the Lead Time (LT) for each sub-component NSN.

• Reporting: Contractors must provide reports (CDRL A009 for shipsets, CDRL A010 for sub-components) detailing delivery dates, completion dates, and calculated ELT/RTAT.

• Measurement Tool: A Performance Measurement & Reconciliation Tool (PMRT) is included as Attachment 2 for tracking and calculating performance.

• Disincentives: Failure to meet ELT/RTAT requirements will result in downward price adjustments, calculated using the PMRT and tables provided.

• Incentives: A pre-determined incentive payment is available for shipset support if the contractor maintains an On-Time Delivery Performance of at least 80% for TCI shipsets.

• Not explicitly defined in this document, but implies ongoing support for KC-46 landing gear.

• Time Compliance Interval (TCI): A yearly TCI schedule will be provided by the Government for forecasting and planning.

• CAV AF Reporting: Contractors must report unserviceable assets via the CAV AF process daily or within 24 hours of a maintenance action.

• Government Furnished Material (GFM): Cost of GFM will be deducted from the contractor's Firm Fixed Price during reconciliation.

• Reconciliation: Year-end reconciliation procedures will be conducted approximately 90 days after the end of each annual performance period to determine adjustments for ELT disincentives, incentives, and GFM.
