amended by the Pandemic and AllHazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA)
(Pub. L. 109–417), the HPP is a
cooperative agreement program funded

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.
The information required periodically
from the contractor, such as cost of work
already performed, estimated costs of
further performance necessary to
complete all work, total contract price
for supplies or services accepted by the
Government for which final prices have
been established, and estimated costs
allocable to supplies or services
accepted by the Government and for
which final prices have not been
established, is needed to negotiate the
final prices of incentive-related items
and services.
The contracting officer evaluates the
information received to determine the
contractor’s performance in meeting the
incentive target and the appropriate
price revision, if any, for the items or
services.
