 at require the submission of certified cost or pricing data under Federal 
 Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.403.\n\nDefense Federal Acquisition Regula
 tion Supplement (DFARS) 215.404-4(b)(1) requires DoD contracting officers 
 to use a structured approach for developing a prenegotiation profit or fee
  objective on any negotiated contract action when certified cost or pricin
 g data is obtained\, except for cost-plus-award-fee (CPAF) contracts and c
 ontracts with Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs).
 \n\nThe 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 p
 roposed)\, and cost efficiency when developing their prenegotiation profit
 /fee objectives.\n\nSome businesses are unaware that the Government’s pren
 egotiation profit objectives\, developed via the formulaic weighted guidel
 ines method\, can vary widely based upon the underlying assumptions and va
 lues used. Furthermore\, some businesses do not realize they can negotiate
  a higher profit or fee. As a result\, these businesses unknowingly accept
  the Government’s proposed profit rate on contracts that might have higher
  than normal performance risk and warrant a higher profit.\n\nIn this pres
 entation\, 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.\n\nTarget Aud
