Abstract:

Two methods are utilized to provide the componentssub-systems for a Government contract contractor-furnished equipment CFE or Government- furnished equipment GFE. DAR 13-201 states it is the general policy of the Department of Defense that contractors will furnish all equipment required for the performance of Government contracts. However, the Government should furnish equipment to a contractor when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government by reason of economy, standardization, the expediting of production, or other appropriate circumstances. A model is developed to assist in the analysis for a decision to use CFE or GFE. The use of structured analysis of the subjective areas involved in using either approach provides for a more defensible business decision. Author
