This report reviews the reasons for the creation and implementation of Defense Procurement Circular 76-3. It identifies the essential procedureal changes which are used to recognize a defense contractor's investment in facilities and discusses how these procedures should adjust profit levels based upon this investment. It presents the results of a survey of government and industry personnel who deal with DPC 76-3 or facilities management. The author then draws conclusions as to the manner in which DPC 76-3 is being implemented and the effect it has had on the level of facilities investment after one year. (Author).

Download Facilities Capital as a Factor in Contract Pricing Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Beginning in 1976, facilities capital became a determinant of price in contracts negotiated by the Department of Defense. Facilities capital became a determinant of profit in the weighted guidelines profit policy and, at the same time, an amount based on facilities capital became an allowable cost under Cost Accounting Standard 414. This report presents results of an investigation into the role and effectiveness of facilities capital as a factor in contract pricing. A statistical analysis was first conducted to ascertain whether negotiated contract prices reflect the amount of facilities capital employed. Regression techniques are applied to a large data base of contracts negotiated between 1980 and 1982. In addition to testing the sensitivity of pricing to facilities capital, other factors such as the composition of costs, size of award, Military Service, and type of contract were tested as determinants of price. The response by defense contractors to the investment incentives of the revised pricing policy was then determined. A model of contract pricing was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative policies to encourage cost-reducing investments. Finally, in a separate analysis, a comparative evaluation of the financial riskiness of defense companies and firms serving commercial markets was conducted.

Download Government Contracting: Compensation of Defense Contractors' Working Capital Financing Costs Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
DOD'S profit policy includes a provision to recognize the millions of dollars defense contractors incur annually in financing working capital costs on fixed-price contracts. Working capital costs consist of the contractor's work in process costs-material, labor, and overhead that are not financed through progress payments' or other payments. In negotiating contract prices, DOD does not attempt to prepare an exact calculation of such costs, but instead tries to give general recognition to the contractor's working capital costs under varying contract circumstances, financing policies, and economic environments. If DOD'S policy does not appropriately consider a contractor's working capital financing costs, it could affect contract profits, either to the contractor's or the government's disadvantage. DOD'S policy generally recognizes the important factors that affect contractors' working capital financing costs. Our analysis of a sample of contracts showed that in the aggregate the policy resulted in approximately the right amount of these financing costs being included in the profit objective. That is, the costs likely to be incurred during the life of the contract were close to the amounts estimated by DOD. While this was true in the aggregate, there were differences of 10 percent or more in most of the individual contracts between DOD'S estimate and our estimate of working capital costs. On individual contracts, therefore, if contracting officers do not adjust for the specific circumstances of that contract, too much or too little profit could be included in the contract price.

LMI investigated the role and effectiveness of facilities capital as a factor in contract pricing to support the Defense Financial and Investment Review study. Various statistical analyses were performed to test the sensitivity of pricing to facilities capital as well as other factors. The report also investigates the response by defense contractors to the investment incentives of the manufacturers in general, and to defense contractors own past behavior. This report is not required to understand the Defense Financial and Investment Review final report, but is an excellent document on the specific subject matter of facilities capital. Keywords: Facilities Capital, Investment Incentives, Weighted guidelines, Profit Policy, Contractor Investment Behavior, Financial Risk. (Author).
