Dated procurement case / September 7, 2026
A delivery period needs a starting event. Read the whole schedule before committing capacity.
The Warren engine-assembly package contains several clocks. Treating them as one countdown would obscure both the production commitment and the first-article work.
This is a dated schedule-reading example, not an assessment of a supplier's capacity or a claim that the procurement remains open.
01 / What to distinguish
Read the whole schedule before committing capacity.
01.1
Starting event
Section F defines its days after contract award. The first-article report provision uses the date of the contract, while the government's response period starts when it receives the report.
01.2
Quantity and option
Section F lists 27 units for 0001AA at 520 calendar days and 27 for 0002AA at 400. Read Section B's option status and the applicable ordering terms before treating both as a firm commitment.
01.3
Waiver ambiguity
Section L says an accelerated schedule applies if a waiver is granted, but Section F's no-FAT/waived-FAT schedule displays N/A. Preserve that as a clarification question. Do not calculate a replacement deadline.

02 / Where Deep Fathom fits
Use the method. Identify the separate compliance question.
This scheduling method is educational. Automated capacity assessment and procurement-feasibility intelligence are product concepts, not released capabilities. Use the guides first. A platform evaluation is relevant only to a separate compliance-evidence problem.
- 01
Identify the condition
Record the source location and the decision it affects.
- 02
Name the owner
Ask the responsible person to accept the next review action.
- 03
Check the evidence
Separate supported facts from assumptions awaiting clarification.
- 04
Revisit the decision
Record the result and the next change that would require another review.
03 / Source-located comparison
Read each condition in its own context.
| Location or example | Observed condition | Review implication |
|---|---|---|
| Section F, pages 26–27 | 0001AA: 27 units, 520 calendar days after award. 0002AA: 27 units, 400 days in the listed schedule. | Check the option and ordering terms. Do not collapse the two lines. |
| Section I, page 35 | Notify the contracting officer at least 30 calendar days before first-article tests begin. | Testing notice is a separate action from delivering the report. |
| Section I, page 35 | Submit the first-article report within 90 calendar days from the contract date. | Do not start this clock at drawing receipt. |
| Section I, page 35 | The government response period is 30 calendar days after receiving the report. | Approval, conditional approval and disapproval are different possible outcomes. |
| Sections F and L | The waived-test schedule is N/A, while the waiver provision calls for acceleration. | Ask the buyer to resolve the schedule before relying on a waiver-based plan. |
04 / Put the evidence to work
Record dependencies before judging feasibility.
An operations owner can use the schedule to identify dependencies without declaring feasibility. List access, material availability, testing, report preparation and the delivery event as separate planning inputs.
The package distinguishes FOB Origin and FOB Destination delivery definitions. Confirm the applicable term before treating shipment departure and arrival as the same milestone. The first-article case addresses the evidence work supporting the tests.
05 / Limits of the example
Use the evidence for the question it answers.
The numbers above are retained package terms, not a countdown from today's date. A potential option quantity is not a guaranteed order.
No supplier capacity, lead-time estimate, accelerated deadline or on-time-performance claim is inferred.
Platform evaluation / Compliance evidence
Bring a specific compliance-evidence question.
This scheduling method is educational. Automated capacity assessment and procurement-feasibility intelligence are product concepts, not released capabilities. Use the guides first. A platform evaluation is relevant only to a separate compliance-evidence problem.
Do not include CUI, credentials, export-controlled data or controlled attachments in this form.
Limitations
- The numbers above are retained package terms, not a countdown from today's date. A potential option quantity is not a guaranteed order.
- No supplier capacity, lead-time estimate, accelerated deadline or on-time-performance claim is inferred.
- Local campaign candidate with noindex. No procurement monitoring or capacity product is offered.
