Cost and price analysis in government contracts

Monday, July 22 – Tuesday, July 23, 2024

Cost analysis and price analysis are two essential tools used in assessing fairness and reasonableness of proposed prices that must be understood by buyers and sellers in all government contracting situations – government contracting officers, and contractors alike. In this session, participants will obtain a working level understanding of what the dual techniques of cost analysis and price analysis are, when they are to be used and how to accomplish them. This objective is achieved through a thorough review and analysis of the regulations and illustrated through a variety of real-world examples, scenarios and case studies.
