Fee

The profit portion included in the seller's payment, separate from reimbursed costs.

Key Points

  • Represents the seller's profit in the overall compensation.
  • Distinct from reimbursed direct, indirect, and allowable costs.
  • Can be structured as fixed fee, incentive fee, or award fee based on the contract type.
  • Negotiated during procurement and may depend on risk, performance, or cost targets.

Example

In a CPFF contract, the buyer reimburses actual allowable costs of USD 500,000 and pays a fixed fee of USD 50,000. The USD 50,000 is the fee, meaning the seller's profit.
