The structured approach most commonly used by DoD contracting officers is called the “Weighted Guidelines” method. Under the Weighted Guidelines method, contracting officers are required to factor in performance risk, contract type risk, working capital, facilities capital employed (if proposed), and cost efficiency when developing their prenegotiation profit/fee objectives. \nMany businesses are unaware that the government’s pre-negotiation profit objectives, developed using the Weighted Guidelines method, can vary significantly depending on the underlying assumptions and values used. Furthermore, some businesses do not realize that they can negotiate a higher profit or fee. As a result, they may unknowingly accept the Government’s proposed profit rate on contracts with higher-than-normal performance risk that warrant a higher profit. \nIn this webinar, you will learn how to develop effective strategies that can be used to negotiate higher profit or fee positions that are fully justified under DoD’s weighted guidelines (profit) method application.\nTarget Audience: Contractors pursuing opportunities with the Department of Defense, APEX Accelerator counselors, consultants, and coaches.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
