Birdsong Posted March 29, 2024 Report Share Posted March 29, 2024 CPFF CLIN is under run on one CLIN and over run on another, so need to realign funding, does the fee realign as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ji20874 Posted March 29, 2024 Report Share Posted March 29, 2024 Cost overruns or underruns do not affect the fixed fee. Or, in other words, the fixed fee is unaffected by cost overruns or underruns. Hence, the fee is fixed, and the third letter of CPFF is fixed. See FAR 16.306(a) for description of cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts: "The fixed fee does not vary with actual cost..." Note: OP made no mention of changes in the work, failure to perform, and so forth, so my answer above does not address such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case a realignment would not be necessary. Just because a CLIN is being overrun does not automatically mean there has to be a realignment of funds to fund that overrun.

Except many government payment systems won’t allow invoice payments exceeding the CLIN amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have we allowed ancillary systems to be designed so they cause more work for contracting officers that may not be necessary or consistent with contract terms?
