These non-recurring expenses shall be based upon additional test equipment, facilities and subcontractor factilization to support the increased production rate. A firm fixed price line item is proposed to provide for incentive payments to the Contractor for every fifty (50) EPLRS ADDSI RTs delivered in advance of the current contract delivery requirements. For the purpose of calculating the incentive payments under this line item, the ADDSI RT contract delivery requirements shall be based on the cumulative delivery quantities required as of 30 April 2000.
