Authority: P.L. 87-653.
The pricing of a noncompetitive contract for rocket
booster equipment for a space shuttle award4d to Eldec
corporation by the National Aeronautics and Spcce administration
was reviewed. Findings/Conclusions: The contract price was
overstated by at least $65,000 for two parts because (1) the
formula Eldec used to compute proposed labor hours overstated
the hours required, and (2) Eldec did not use current, complite,
and accurate data when computing proposed magnetic assembly
hours as certified at the time of negotiation. Had such data
been provided, the contracting officer would have had a sound
basis for neqotiating a lower contract price. Recommendations:
The contracting officer should evaluate Eldec's data and
ascertain how much price reduction the Government is entitled
to, and should assure that, in other awards to Eldec, the method
of computing the percentage of work completed properly
recognites work in process. (DJH)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobacxod0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
