(a) Although weighted guidelines do not apply per DFARS 216.402-470(c)(2) when

definitizing a contract action, the contracting officer must, nevertheless, separately assess and document the reduced cost risk on the contract for—

(1) The period up to the date of definitization; as well as

(2) The remaining period of performance (see DFARS 217.7404-6).

(b) Normally, award fee is not earned when the fee-determining official has determined

that contractor performance has been submarginal or unsatisfactory.

(d) The cost-plus-award-fee contract is also suitable for level of effort contracts where

mission feasibility is established but measurement of achievement must be by subjective evaluation rather than objective measurement. See Table 16-1, Performance Evaluation Criteria, for sample performance evaluation criteria and Table 16-2, Contractor Performance Evaluation Report, for a sample evaluation report.

(e) The contracting activity may—

(1) Establish a board to—

(i) Evaluate the contractor's performance; and

(ii) Determine the amount of the award or recommend an amount to the

contracting officer; and

(2) Afford the contractor an opportunity to present information on its own behalf.
