  1. While I understand the basis for utilizing a CPAF type contract over a CPFF type contract (reducing risk, adding incentives for the contractor to do a good job), I am confused as to why there is a trend to move away from awarding CPAF contracts and instead use CPFF contracts (I am assuming it is due to administration costs). Specifically, I would like to understand the background/rationale for changing already existing CPAF awards to CPFF awards. Is there any FAR or US Code for this trend? Also, how does one go about determining the allowable fee percentage for the CPFF or is it relatively arbitrary? I've been tasked with making a modification but I want to understand the concept behind the request rather than just make the change "because the customer said so."
