• Overtime without Premium Pay on a Cost type contract

  I work on a contract that allows this IAW their disclosure statement.  I have heard over the cubes that some folks working for the KTR are grumbling as some exempt employees get the straight time wher

• Modify Contract Type from FFP to T&M

  Agree with Retreadfed. I've set up Toner BPAs before - place the call and get the toners, as needed.  If the lead time is too long, consider setting up a BPA with a vendor with a shorter turn-around t

  It's no big deal formented.  I don't have enough information of the OPs situation to really offer advice and can only speculate.  I don't see the realighment as being added scope...shoot, we (The USG)

  Do you disagree with me or something?  I didn't know this was a debate forum or such that it was expected every post response to be a Grad School dissertation.  I'm beginning to believe this site to b

• Realigning 1 year funds

  I assume this is a cost reimbursement contract funded with FY18 O&M and has been incrementally funded.  Is this correct?  If so, my answer would be no...go get current year funds from your customer to

• Repair of Aircraft Wing. GFP or Not?

  I digress...I've gotten too used to working on a GOCO where the contractor takes stewardship and manages the property records from AC induction until the FORM JPS-5-206-A is signed off and the bird fl

• Repair of Aircraft Wing. GFP or Not?

• What is contract specialist work really like?

  In my position I do: 10% #1 90% #2 I should be doing more file management...but the squeaky wheel gets the grease in my fast-moving department.

• Can a Contracting Officer work without a Contract Specialist?

  Yes...I've had to be my own KSpec and KO in both contingency contracting and stateside assignments.  It's not preferred as two sets of eyes are better than one, but sometimes one has to work with what

  They are not playing us by any fiddles and I totally understand everything you are stating...lastly, we don't give the KTRs copies of our PNMs.  I don't post on here much, but Im not a newby to this c
