The Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract type, for the Open Architecture Standards, is the most appropriate based upon the uncertainties involved in contract performance of developing, updating and managing the OA standards effort required. The Government, nor the contractors, can accurately predict the level of support that will be required for these tasks, and therefore, costs cannot be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. The Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract type could be used, for the P3I and Studies CLINS, if the requirements are well defined and the deliverables can be provided at a specific time and place. However, if the requirements are not well defined, then the CPFF contract type would be the most appropriate for the P3I and Studies CLINs.. Awarded Vendors: General Atomics Aeronautical. Contract Award Dollar Amount: $3,082,750. Contract Award Date: 2018-12-20.
