To improve the Air Force's airlift capability and increase the Air Reserve Forces' contribution to both combat and support missions, the Department of Defense (DOD) is procuring 50 C-5B aircraft and transferring C-141 and C-5A aircraft to the Air Reserve Forces. The Air Reserve Forces consists of the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard. The Air Force will increase the Air Reserve Forces' mission capability by transferring 44 C-5A aircraft in the 1980s and 80 C-141 aircraft in the 1980s and 1990s. The locations receiving the C-5As are requisitioning ground support equipment (GSE) necessary to accomplish C-5 maintenance. In December 1982, the Air Force awarded the Lockheed-Georgia Company (Lockheed) a firm fixed-price contract with options for 50 C-5B aircraft. As of October 1987, the estimated total program cost was about $7.2 billion (in then-year dollars) for the 50 aircraft. The Air Force exercised its options and Lockheed has begun delivery of the aircraft. As of July 1987, 16 aircraft had been delivered. Lockheed was also awarded a provisioning contract for spare parts. An individual spare parts order issued by the Air Force to Lockheed under the provisioning contract is called a provisioned item order (PIO). PIOs were issued at estimated prices with final prices to be negotiated at later dates. Such contractual actions are generally known as undefinitized contract actions (UCA).
