The contract action was awarded competitively but was not fixed-priced. IAW FAR 35.006(c) the contract action was for R&D and was awarded as a cost-reimbursement contract due to the absence of precise specifications and difficulties in estimating costs with accuracy (resulting in a lack of confidence in cost estimates). This normally precludes using fixed-price contracting for R&D, the use of cost-reimbursement contracts is usually appropriate (see subpart 16.3). Awarded contract N0017320C6002 to ANALYSIS, COMPUTING & ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS, INC. for 100273144.56 on 2020-07-24.
