You mentioned the following: FAR 52.248-1 definitions include the following: " ?Value engineering change proposal (VECP)? means a proposal that? (1) Requires a change to this, the instant contract, to implement; and (2) Results in reducing the overall projected cost to the agency without impairing essential functions or characteristics; provided, that it does not involve a change? (i) In deliverable end item quantities only; (ii) In research and development (R&D) end items or R&D test quantities that is due solely to results of previous testing under this contract; or (iii) To the contract type only. " I work in the area of helping clients with VECP's and while I encourage the use of the VE Incentive Clause as much as possible, I am wondering if your above statement that it only removes a contract clause (not replacing it with an alternative), would violate the definition for a valid VECP. I would need more understanding of the contract to comment further, but the quoted statement would concern me if I were advising a client. Sam
