Identification and Definition of the Management Cost Elements for Contractor Furnished Equipment and Government Furnished Equipment.

Abstract

ASPR requires that the program manager perform a cost analysis to determine which components should be procured as GFE instead of being purchased from the prime contractor as CFE. Many cost factors contribute to the decision to provide an item as CFE or GFE. One cost that must be considered is the cost of managing the item, which includes, for example, personnel costs and government and contractor overhead costs. The authors have identified, defined, and assessed the use of relevant and practical elements of contractor and government management cost that should be considered in the CFE/GFE selection process. The study shows that the cost elements are considered important, but not frequently considered, and generally management cost analysis is inadequate. (Author)
