Potential CPPC arrangement?

I was reviewing the POs that my firm executes with our subcontractors on a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee basis and I became concern that our Sourcing dept is not specifying the fixed fee we negotiated with our SubK and the vendor is simplying invoicing (and we're paying) a fee % of their invoiced cost.
With no mention of a fixed fee amount or NTE amount for fee anywhere on the PO, has my company inadvetrantly slipped into a CPPC arrangement? If so, will a simple admin mod to the PO clearly identifying the fixed fee amount, rectify the problem?
Thanks!

What do the POs say about fee?

Then why is your company paying any fee at all? How can one tell it isn't a cost-only, no-fee, contract? Personally, I'd be more concerned with a finance office that pays an invoice for something not mentioned in the PO, than I would be about the possible appearance of a CPPC contract.

Navy_Contracting_4, that's a very fair point and I will bring it up to my Sourcing dept. Thanks!
