Contracting officers and primes must determine a price fair and reasonable before contract award which requires performing either cost or price analysis. Luckily, not all proposals must endure rigorous cost analysis, but you still must provide enough information to aid in the determination of a fair and reasonable price. We’ll explain the differences between cost and price analysis, the reasons for each, and best practices to help you maximize profit and minimize findings. Learning Objectives 1. Identify and collect all costs associated with a product or service 2. Calculate and allocate indirect rates 3. Present cohesive and logical cost and pricing support www.leftbrainpro.com
