Assad: DOD Seeks To Expand Support Center For Commercial Item Pricing

摘要

The Defense Department wants to expand by four additional sites a center of excellence within the Defense Contract Management Agency to help contracting officers determine reasonable prices for commercial items following a successful first year of the pilot program, according to officials overseeing the effort. DOD pricing czar Shay Assad, in a Nov. 20 interview with Inside the Pentagon, said the department seeks to expand the center of excellence for commercial item pricing from its current pilot location in St. Petersburg, FL, to Dallas, Seattle, Boston and Chicago in the next year-and-a-half. These locations are convenient to both industry and the Pentagon's major buying commands, Assad said.
