stock de dégradation

English translation: contingency stock

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / in Tender documents
French term or phrase: stock de dégradation
This has come up a couple of times in the tender documents I am working on. It is also written as "le stock des dégradations." For context, the document also refers to "le stock de fin de vie," "le stock annexe," "stock de maintenance," and "un autre stock." None of the possible translations I have come up with seem to be terms that are in use at all, so I am wondering if there is an accepted term/translation for whatever this is and I am just completely overlooking it, or if I should get creative.

Full context:

"Nombre moyen d’équipements en service dans l’année:

Le nombre d’équipements Z en service dans l’année est calculé en prenant, la moyenne des nombres de [DEVICE NAME] en service chacun des 12 mois qui suivent l’entrée en phase opérationnel de [DEVICE NAME] ou de son anniversaire.
Le nombre de [DEVICE NAME] en service un mois donné correspond à la moyenne du nombre de [DEVICE NAME] en service le premier du mois et le premier du mois suivant.
Répartition des [DEVICE NAME] correspondant à chaque stock annexe.
Taux de disponibilité en % des [DEVICE NAME] :

[EQUATION]

Certaines pénalités décrites dans le CCAP se calculent par le biais d’un compteur C.
Le compteur annuel s’incrémente de +2 dès que le MOD, pour chaque jour ouvré, a voulu prendre un [DEVICE NAME] et qu’aucun n’était disponible dans l’ensemble des stocks mis à sa disposition par le MAFT (y compris le **stock des dégradations**).
Le compteur s’incrémente de +1 dès que le MOD, pour chaque jour ouvré, a voulu prendre un [DEVICE NAME] dans un stock annexe et qu’il a dû puiser dans un autre stock.
Il s’incrémentera à nouveau de +1 pour chaque jour ouvré, tant que le MOD n’a pas rééquilibré les volumes entre les différents stocks annexes."

Thank you in advance!
