Dear Mr. Solls

      As part (fC a nationwide rreiew of tiw offectiveness of Defenae
 procuremenL regulations concerningaubcontroct coat or pricing data
 submissioiss, we have examined theLprices prbposed and negotiated for
 major firm fixed-price subcontracts involving cable assemblies
 procured from Amphenol Space and Missile Eystems Division, Bunker-
 Ramo CorporAtion, Chatsworth, California, under fixed-price incentive
 prime contractn for the fiscal year 1972 MINUTEMAN III missile
 procurement. In particular, our review included suboontracts
 A1MM-528334 anI A2MM-528336 awarded by the Autonetics Group, Rockwell
 International Corporation, under contract FO7l0-69-C-0.194 and suboon-
 tract 633693-28(29) awarded by the Bell Aerospace Company under
 contract FO'401-71-C-0038. Our review primarily conceried the
 reasonableneso of the subcontract estimaten included in the prime
 contract prices in relation to cost or pricing data available at the
 time of prime contract or subcontract negotiations.

     We found that;

         The amount negotiated in the target price of contract
         -0194 for the Amphenol subcontract effort was about
         $986,000 higher than indicated by available cost data
         at the time of prime contract negotiations.

     -   The amount negotiated in the target price ot contract
         -0038 for the Amphenol eucontract  effort was about
         $206,100 higher than .±ndicated by available coat data
         at the time of subcontract negotiations.

In each of these procurements, the preayard auditsa o the subcontractor's
proposals did not identify more current, completa, and acculirate cost
data for consideration by the contracting officers during prime con-
tract negotiations.                          r.      -   - ..   .. I A- /441
