When establishing a contract/order delivery or performance schedule, consideration shall be given to applicable factors such as the -

1. Explain reasons for establishing the period of performance

2. Explain and provide reasons for any urgency of need if it results in concurrency of development and production or constitutes justification for not providing for full and open competition. The urgency of the need must result in either concurrency of development and production or a justification for not providing for full and open competition. Do not describe or explain the urgency in terms of the client's need or desire for the services.

3. Number of years (base and option periods)

4. Development versus Maintenance/Warranty periods

5. Industry Practices

6. Market Conditions

7. Transportation time (i.e., overseas delivery)

8. Production Times

9. Capability of small business concerns

10. Administrative time for obtaining and evaluating offers and for awarding contracts

11. Time for contractors to comply with any condition precedent to contract/order performance; and

12. Time for the Government to perform its obligations under the contract/order (i.e., furnishing GFP)

Be sure the delivery schedule is realistic and meets the requirements of the acquisition. Unrealistic schedules restrict competition and may result in higher prices. Consider applicable factors such as, market conditions, production or transportation time, capabilities of small business concerns, time required for contractors to comply with any conditions contained in the order, and time required for the Government to fulfill its obligations, e.g., furnishing government property or information.
