Despite DOD's efforts to strengthen its regulations on cost estimating systems and increase emphasis on subcontract pricing, DOD contract prices continue to be overstated because of inflated subcontract estimates. Until well known, fundamental defects in contractor cost estimating systems are corrected, inflated subcontract estimates will continue to find their way into prime contract prices.
