Cost/Price Realism and Pricing Strategy in Government Contracting (2026 Update)accounting & finance
2026 brings a new round of pricing and compliance changes that government contractors need to incorporate into their next proposal, and this session shows how to do so without losing their competitive edge. It walks through building a pricing strategy that's competitive, explainable, performable, billable, and defensible, grounded in FAR 15.404-1, CAS, FAR Part 31, and cost realism, while covering rate structures, cost segregation, BOEs, and SF1408 readiness. Attendees leave with a pricing approach that holds up from proposal through execution, billing, and audit.
