Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book review: Managing Cost Reimbursable Contracts Providing Guidance in Difficult WatersManagement Guide & Desk ReferenceBy Scott P Cook & Don PhilpottPublished by Government Training Inc. , 233 pagesThe Cost-Reimbursable Contracts Handbook is the ultimate desk top reference for everyone involved in this high-risk and highly complex federal contracting environment.Unlike fixed contracts where the contractor is paid a negotiated amount regardless of incurred expenses, cost-reimbursement contracts allow the contractor to be paid in full for all of its allowed expenses, plus additional payment to allow for a profit.This sort of contracting is considered high-risk for the government because of the potential for cost escalation and because the government pays a contractor's costs of performance regardless of whether the work is completed. Cost-reimbursement contracts also involve significantly more government oversight than fixed-price contracts, which means the government incurs additional administrative costs. In addition, contractor costs need to be monitored known as cost surveillance to provide reasonable assurance that efficient methods and effective cost controls are used.The Cost-Reimbursement Contracts Handbook guides you through this minefield of risks, rules and regulations explaining what needs to be done and why, and what must be avoided. The Handbook is also very timely as the President's new management agenda stresses the need for more focus on contract types and more effective management of them.The Handbook is packed with practical information, handy hints, real-life case studies, best practices and checklists. It describes the different types of cost-reimbursable contracts, when they should be used and why and when they are not the appropriate contracting vehicle. It also details the dangers inherent in this type of contract and how they can be recognized and controlled.There are also comprehensive sections on contract administration and effective management oversight techniques.Whether you are a novice, an experienced program manager, a contracting officer or someone who has oversight of these responsibilities, the Cost-Reimbursement Contracts Handbook is an invaluable desk top reference you cannot do without.

Download or read book Contract Management written by United States. Government Accountability Office and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal agencies obligate billions of dollars annually using cost-reimbursement contracts. This type of contract involves high risk for the government because of the potential for cost escalation and because the government pays a contractor's costs of performance regardless of whether the work is completed. As such, cost-reimbursement contracts are suitable only when the cost of the work to be done cannot be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use fixed-price contracts. Agencies may use this contract type only if certain conditions are met. At your request, GAO assessed (1) the extent of agencies' obligations under these contracts, (2) the rationales for using this contract type, (3) determinations that contractors' accounting systems are adequate for determining costs applicable to the contracts, and (4) procedures for monitoring contractor cost controls. GAO analyzed federal procurement data and contract files and interviewed contracting and other government officials. GAO is making recommendations to the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) regarding how contracts are coded in the government's procurement database and aimed at encouraging timely analysis to determine if a transition can be made to a contract with a firmer pricing basis.
