NASA awarded Northrop a $935 million firm-fixed price contract to build the living quarters for the planned moon outpost in 2021, but Northrop’s losses on the program have
- How often does the DOD use cost-type contracts?
- From fiscal years 2011 through 2019, DOD used cost-type contracts for a small proportion—under one-fifth on average—of obligations for its major acquisition programs. This proportion varied across the military departments (see figure).
- Does the DoD keep costs and schedules in line?
- We found that the DOD's use of these contracts has increased since 2010; they accounted for about half of all DOD obligations for its major weapon systems in 2019. But the DOD has not assessed whether using these contracts has actually kept costs and schedules in line. We recommended that the DOD assess its use of these contracts.
- How did DoD guidance affect FPI contracts?
- DOD guidance, including Better Buying Power initiatives, influenced DOD's use of FPI contracts over the last decade for the selected contracts GAO reviewed.
- How much did the DoD spend on fixed-price-incentive contracts?
- From fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2019, DOD-wide obligations on fixed-price-type contracts decreased slightly. However, within that time frame, DOD obligations on fixed-price-incentive contracts increased from $16 billion to $50 billion.
- What types of contracts does DOD use?
- The 2 main contract types that DOD uses to acquire its major weapon systems are: Cost-type contracts—DOD pays allowable contractor costs (e.g., labor)...
- Should DOD use FPI contracts for mdaps?
- DOD agreed with GAO's recommendation. The Secretary of Defense should conduct an assessment of DOD's use of FPI contracts for MDAPs, including the extent to which share lines and other contract elements contributed to achieving desired cost and schedule performance outcomes.
