An Examination of Forward Pricing Rate Agreements (FPRA's) at DCASPRO's (Defense Contract Plant Representative Offices) and NAVPRO's (Naval Plant Representative Offices)

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to determine the extent to which Forward Pricing Rate Agreements (FPRA's) have been established at Defense Contract Administration Services Plant Representative Offices (DCASPRO's) and Naval Plant Representative Offices (NAVPRO's). The research is also intended to identify the reasons why FPRA's are not established and determine what actions can be taken to increase the number of this type of agreement. The major conclusion is that Forward Pricing Rate Agreements covering the main categories of labor and overhead rates have not been established to the maximum extent possible at DCASPRO's and NVAPRO's. The primary recommendation is to eliminate the requirement to use the Joint Logistics Commanders' (JLC) uniform rates of change when determining forward pricing rates for executive compensation, salaries, wages, and employee benefits.
