Documentation Requirements for AFSC Cost Estimates an Estimator's and Reviewer's Guide

Abstract

Major changes in the documentation requirements for all cost estimates prepared within the Systems Command have been established by AFSC L 173-1 (Cost Estimating Procedures). The new requirements consist of fourteen separate worksheets and formats that constitute a Basic Documentation File. This paper seeks to provide an explicit, standardized, easily referenced guide to these requirements. It is hoped that estimators will find the paper helpful in preparing and in double-checking their estimates for compliance, completeness, and consistency prior to releasing them to reviewing and approving echelons. Hopefully, too, reviewing offices will find the paper useful in standardizing the reviews by different personnel reviewing cost estimates prepared by different offices, for different purposes, in different time periods, for different systems. Although this paper is addressed primarily to Air Force cost estimators, it should also be of interest to industrial and non-profit contractors that work closely with Air Force estimators in preparing cost estimates to support system studies.
