Implementation of the Stabilized Rate Billing System and Its Impact on the Naval Ordnance Station, Indian Head, Maryland

摘要

The US Naval Ordnance Station is one of 10 industrial funded Ordnance Activities operating under the command of the Chief of Naval Material, exercised through the command of Naval Sea Systems Command. The assigned mission of the Station is to provide material and technical support for weapons systems, weapons or components, and performs additional tasks as directed by the Commander, NAVSEASYSCOM. The Rate Stabilization Billing Program was implemented at NAVORDSTA in FY1976. A Stabilized Billing Rate is a predetermined rate used to bill customers for work performed and to recover total operating costs. The program's intention was to permit federal customers to plan, budget, and execute their approved programs consistent with budgeted funds without being concerned about cost escalation. The objective of this paper was to assess the impact of rate stabilization on NAVORDSTA, Indian Head, MD.
