Title:
Contract Pricing: Defense Subcontract Cost-Estimating Problems Are Chronic and Widespread
Report Date:
1991-03-01
Abstract:
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Defense Contract Audit Agency's (DCAA) assessments of contractor estimating systems, focusing on: (1) subcontractor cost estimates; (2) corrections to subcontract estimating deficiencies; and (3) Department of Defense (DOD) administrative contracting officers' enforcement against contractors that did not comply with the revised cost-estimating regulation. GAO also conducted a case study on DOD vulnerability to excessive costs due to subcontract estimating problems
