A type of cost reimbursement contract that assigns minimal responsibility for costs and for which a fixed fee is negotiated. The fee provides an incentive for a subcontractor to contract for efforts that might otherwise pose too great a risk to it to assume.

Describe the contract type of Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF)?

A Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) contract is a type of cost-reimbursement contract where the contractor is reimbursed for allowable costs incurred during the project, along with an additional fee that is based on the contractor's performance. The incentive fee is typically structured to encourage cost savings and efficiency, meaning the contractor may receive a higher fee if they complete the project under budget or meet specific performance targets. This contract type aligns the interests of both the contractor and the client, promoting collaboration while controlling costs. However, it also requires careful monitoring to prevent cost overruns.


Which is the least preferred contract type because it places the greatest risk on the government?

T&M Time and Material (T&M ) contracts are used for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of direct labor hours at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit; and materials at cost. They may be used only when it is not possible at the time of placing the contract to estimate accurately the ex tent or duration of the work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence. Because it places the most risk on the Government, T&M is the least preferred contract type.


How much did he first desktop computer cost?

The first computers had no fixed selling price. They were usually built on cost plus fixed fee contracts, because the people making them could not guess at final cost to build them. For example the ENIAC was estimated at $50,000 when the Army signed the cost plus contract. The Army eventually payed a bit more than $500,000. The UNIVAC I original fixed price contracts were for $250,000 but when the machine went into production its actual price was $2,500,000. Remington Rand lost lots of money on the first two UNIVAC's sold as the company had to pay the difference between cost to build and what the customer payed!

What is the least preferred contract type because it places the greatest risk on the Government?

The least preferred contract type for the Government is the cost-plus contract. This type of contract places the greatest risk on the Government because it reimburses the contractor for their allowable costs plus an additional fee, which can lead to unpredictable expenses and less incentive for cost control. Consequently, it can result in higher overall costs and diminished accountability for the contractor in managing project expenses.
