I have a CPFF fully funded TO which contains clauses 52.232-20 and 52.243-7. Was notified by KTR that they overran the estimated CLIN cost due to expansion of their role in performing the TO. I'm still confirming details with PM and KTR, but sounds like KTR might have been directed by someone from the program side. PM stated in conversation that the work was accelerated. Sounds like another Gov't partner was leading the work and the KTR was providing support. The Gov't partner is no longer involved (don't know why yet) so the KTR stepped in and assumed the leadership role. Expansion of role is not covered in the SOW and I did not direct the KTR to accelerate work. As per clause 52.232-20, I was never notified that the cost in performance of the TO would be greater than previously estimated. As per clause 52.243-7, I was never notified of any gov't direction to them to accelerate the schedule or changing the contract requirements. From reading the clauses it sounds like I don't have to reimburse the KTR for these costs. Chances are the PM is going to want to modify the SOW to expand KTR role in order to accomplish the mission. If I do end up expanding their role via TO mod of the SOW, can I: (1) not pay them for the overrun; (2) or can I reimburse them just for their overrun costs and give them no fee, or give them a reduced fee, or do I have to give them full fee? I don't want to give them fee for work they already did outside the scope and funding of the TO (overrun). The future work required to complete the mission will be fee bearing.

I'm working a contract action for supplies and services to be performed in French Polynesia by a vendor local to that area. As per FAR 4.1102(a)(4), the vendor is not registered in CCR. Are they required to complete Reps & Certs if they are not required to register in CCR?

Yeah - it worked. Don't know why I didn't think of that before. Thanks.

Yes, I have access to the Contract Pricing Reference Guides link, but was hoping for something hard copy. I asked the DAU help desk and they said they don't have a PDF option for the Conract Pricing Reference Guides, but hope to have the capability to do so in 1QTR of calendar year 2012. Internet connection at work is not the greatest and IE tends to freeze every now and then on me - which is why I don't like using the links. I may just end up trying to print it out section by section. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a really good pricing manual? I'm kind of old fashioned and like a real book/manual rather than something online. Thanks!
