The government requires contracting officers to use a “structured approach” for determining the profit or fee objective in most noncompetitive acquisitions requiring cost analysis, but the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) offers few specifics on how to do this. This course discusses the FAR’s requirements, as well as agencies’ standard methodologies. It will also discuss the application of the most robust method of analysis: The Weighted Guidelines Method.

How to Complete this Course:
This course consists of a video presentation, downloadable resources and more! To access your Certificate of Completion and receive your course credits, you must complete the required activities and earn a score of 70% or higher on the quiz.
