Acquisition Costing in the Federal Government,

Abstract

The quality of acquisition costing in the Federal Government is generally good. Some problems exist but they can be solved by specific actions covering a small number of people or by expanding current programs, structures or techniques. The primary recommendation is that cost estimating, cost analysis and price analysis become a unified function and that each Department and Agency determine the most effective organizational location and career pattern for unified costing offices.
