It provides the formulas and definitions for the variables used in these calculations, which bidders will need to understand for performance tracking and reporting.

Daily Mission Performance (DMP):

• Calculated separately for each fleet per measured day.
• DMP is YES or NO.
• Formula Basis: Compares "Adjusted Initial Issue Aircraft" (C5) to "Contracted Aircraft" (C1).
  • C1: Contracted Aircraft (lower of Total Aircraft Requested or Attachment 0004 Requirement).
  • C2: Initial Issue Aircraft Total (including spares, excluding surge).
  • C3: Initial Issue Aircraft Rejects.
  • C4: Approved IRAPs for rejected Initial Issue aircraft.
  • C5: Adjusted Initial Issue Aircraft = C2 - (C3 - C4).
• DMP Condition: DMP is YES if C5 >= C1; DMP is NO if C5 < C1.

Monthly Sustained Mission Performance (MSMP):

• A cumulative monthly measure for each fleet.
• Formula Basis: Calculates a percentage based on adjusted aircraft numbers.
  • C1-C5: Same definitions as for DMP.
  • C6: Adjusted Initial Issue Aircraft (capped at 100% prior to surge, not exceeding Contracted Aircraft).
  • C7: Additional Issue/Surge Aircraft Issued (including spares).
  • C8: Additional Issue/Surge Aircraft Rejects.
  • C9: Approved IRAPs for rejected Additional Issue/Surge aircraft.
  • C10: Additional Issue/Surge Aircraft Total = (C6 + C7) - (C8 - C9).
• MSMP Calculation: (C10 / C6) x 100.

This attachment is crucial for understanding how mission performance will be measured and evaluated. Bidders should review the definitions and calculation methods for DMP and MSMP to ensure their proposals align with the government's performance expectations and reporting requirements. The calculations directly impact how successful performance will be quantified.
