This book was released on 1984 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis evaluates the award fee determination process in Cost- Plus-Award-Fee (CPAF) contracts in an attempt to improve the process. Improvements are needed and are possible. An analysis of pre-award activities and the development and structuring of contract elements which influence the award fee determination process is first conducted. These elements and activities include the formulation of the base fee, determining how the award fee pool is used, formulating the evaluation criteria, determining the length of the evaluation period and, development of an appropriate formula to compute the fee. The second step involves contract administration functions in terms of evaluation and fee determination procedures. Included is an examination of the Performance Evaluation Board composition and proceedings as well as the role and authority of the Fee Determination Official. Finally, an examination of data for trend analysis is conducted and concludes that award fees are generally too high.

Book excerpt: In prior work, the author found that federal contractors were paid billions of dollars in award fees regardless of acquisition outcomes. In Dec. 2007, the Office of Mgmt. and Budget (OMB) issued guidance aimed at improving the use of award fee contracts. This report: (1) identifies agencies' actions to revise or develop award fee policies and guidance to reflect OMB guidance; (2) assess the consistency of current practices with the new guidance; and (3) determine the extent agencies are collecting, analyzing, and sharing information on award fees. The author reviewed DoD, DoE, HHS, DHS and NASA -- agencies that constituted over 95% of the dollars spent on award fee contracts in FY 2008. Includes recommend. Charts and tables.
Download or read book Decision Criteria for Cost Plus Award Fee Contracts in Major Systems Acquisitions written by Gwilym Howard Jenkins (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cost-Plus-Award-Fee contract has useful application in Major Systems Acquisition during the full-scale development phase. This thesis examines the Cost-Plus-Award-Fee contract with Leavitt's Organizational Theory model which identifies goals, technology, people, structure, and environment as factors for analysis. It further investigates cost reimbursement contract types versus technical risk for identification of those criteria, which best accommodate application of the CPAF contract in major systems acquisition. This thesis concludes that the CPAF contract can be viewed as an informal management information system to enhance project control. It summarizes basic strengths and weaknesses of the CPAF contract in major systems acquisition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software is a critical cost and performance element of weapon system acquisition. Among other problems, there has been a mismatch between software acquisition and contracts. This study reviews the procurement, acquisition, budget, and software development processes to determine the appropriate pricing arrangement for weapon system software. It concludes that either a cost-plus-fixed-fee or cost-plus-award-fee contract is appropriate for software development. The paper discusses contract types and system life cycle models. Three appendices cover Minuteman Software Modifications, Peacekeeper Program Management Directives, and Minuteman Software Error Analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents findings from a research study conducted by RAND Project AIR FORCE, a division of the RAND Corporation, to examine the effects of using price-based acquisition (PBA) approaches for the development and production of major Air Force weapon systems, subsystems, and other military-unique articles. Typically in these cases, the cost-based acquisition (CBA) approach is used-i.e., the price to develop and produce such an article is based on cost data that the government requires the contractor to provide. Critics of this traditional, CBA method see it as imposing heavy regulatory burdens on the government and the contractor and tending to discourage potential non-defense contractors from competing for government contracts, thus reducing competition and quality and increasing cost.
