On the Feasibility of Creating a Comparable Database for Nonrecurring Cost Analysis under Dual Source Competition.

Abstract

This study examines the nature of nonrecurring cost items and develops systematic procedures for the government and contractors to follow in order to generate a database of nonrecurring costs which is both consistent and comparable. The objective was to develop a method for generating an analyzable set of data for parametric estimation of nonrecurring costs. Cost elements were analyzed and their cost drives were identified.
