SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
A. Purpose
In accordance with FAR 16.4,
incentive contracts are normally used
when a firm fixed-price contract is not
appropriate and the required supplies or
services can be acquired at lower costs,
and sometimes with improved delivery
or technical performance, by relating the
amount of profit or fee payable under
the contract to the contractor’s
performance.

already performed, estimated costs of

allocable to supplies or services
accepted by the Government and for
which final prices have not been

final prices of incentive-related items

contractor’s performance in meeting the
incentive target and the appropriate
price revision, if any, for the items or
services.

Responses per Respondent: 2.
Annual Responses: 2,000.
