2. Background:

a. The Consolidated Sustainment Activity Group (CSAG-Supply) stock fund includes most USAF managed spares (ERRC C, T, N and P). CSAG items can be identified by a numeric budget code. An alpha budget code identifies non-CSAG items.

b. For the purposes of billing, a distinction must be made between an 'CSAG item', and an 'CSAG shipment'.

(1) An CSAG shipment is defined as the shipment of an CSAG item from depot stocks, or from a contractor's plant against an CSAG funded contract.

(2) A non-CSAG shipment is defined as:

(a) the shipment of any non-CSAG item (alpha budget code).

(b) the shipment of an CSAG item (numeric budget code) against an FMS funded contract. Items purchased against an FMS funded contract are billed the contract price, not the CSAG price.

c. The CSAG publishes 13 prices/costs. These prices and costs are listed below along with a description of how they are used in conjunction with theFMS program.

4. Definitions:

a. STANDARD PRICE: CSAG normal (non-repair and replace) requisition shipments to the FMS customers are billed the standard price. The standard price formula is:

 
 Latest Acquisition Cost (LAC)
 + LAC OCR
 = Standard Price

b. EXCHANGE PRICE: CSAG repair and replace (H-Coded) requisition shipments to the FMS customers are billed the Exchange price. The exchange price formula is:

 
 Latest Repair Cost (LRC)
 + LRC DACR
 + Materiel Cost Recovery (MCR)
 = Exchange Price

c. LATEST ACQUISITION COST (LAC): This is the latest acquisition cost for the item based on the most recent representative procurement. For FMS, the LAC is used to value the CLSSA FMSO I case.

d. LATEST REPAIR COST: This is the latest repair cost for the item.

e. UNSERVICEABLE ASSET PRICE (UAP): The UAP is used when an unserviceable CSAG item is shipped to an FMS country. Shipment of unserviceable items can occur in response to CLSSA Drawdown Requisitions, and occasionally the FMS customer may wish to requisition an unserviceable item. The UAP can be calculated in two ways:

 
 Carcass Cost Standard Price
 + LAC OCR  OR - LRC
 = Unserviceable Asset Price = UAP

f. CARCASS COST: The CARCASS cost is the value of an unserviceable CSAG item in the inventory. The sale of the item would be at the Unserviceable Asset Price.

g. MARK-UP PRICE: This price is not used for the FMS program. It is used to bill a USAF base maintenance activity that does not turn in an unserviceable item after being issued a serviceable at exchange price.

h. Operational Cost Recovery (OCR).

(1) Operational Cost Recovery (OCR) is the CSAGs operating costs. They include ALC operating costs such as manpower, warehousing costs, transportation costs, and capital investment. Also included are costs that are downward directed from HQ USAF to the ALCs for inclusion in the computation of the Standard, Exchange, and Unserviceable Asset Price. The downward directed costs are other agency costs (for example DLSC and DASSO), and depreciation, inflation, plus others.

(2) Operational Cost Recovery (OCR) is divided between sales at LAC and sales at LRC. For example, if 40% of sales are LAC sales, 40% of OCR will be included in the standard price. Likewise, if 60% of sales are LRC sales, 60% of OCR will be included in the exchange price. Therefore, there will be LAC OCR and LRC OCR.

i. MATERIEL COST RECOVERY (MCR): The purpose of MCR is to fund reprocurement of materiel primarily for replacement of depot maintenance condemnations. MCR is allocated by Supply Chain Manager. For example, if a Supply Chain Manager manages 1000 items and 10 of the items have condemnations; the condemnation costs will be spread over all 1000 items.
