1) E-Activity 1: The Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), required as a component of the Task Placement Request Package, directly influences the time it takes to place a task order and the cost of performance. Procurement utilizes the IGCE as a baseline for conducting negotiations with the contractor. For labor, these negotiations focus on the number of hours estimated to execute the task along with labor categories. Go to the United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity’s Website and download and review the IGCE worksheet, located here. Be prepared to discuss From the first e-Activity, evaluate sources of data for the IGCE and examine the areas that have potential for overestimating costs. Determine three potential outcomes from an inaccurate IGCE. Compare and contrast the effect of a high estimate versus a low estimate. Then, select one of the outcomes that you identified and determine how you would mitigate the issue. ____________________________________________________________________ 2.) E-Activity 2: Use the Internet to locate the prices of three commercial items that are typically used in border surveillance of the U.S.-Mexico border (i.e., night-vision cameras, ground sensors for detecting movement of cars, long-range cameras with a five-mile range, and ground-penetrating Doppler radar). Then, go to the FedBizOpps Website, located at https://www.fbo.gov/, or GSA Advantage’s Website, located here, in order to locate prior government purchases of these items. Consider prior government purchases and current market prices in assessing the accuracy of the prices and the cost differences between different sources. Be prepared to discuss. From the second e-Activity, determine the three primary purposes of cost estimates. Predict two issues that could arise if a cost estimate is not conducted properly or at all. 3. Examine the history of the FAR and analyze some of the events that contributed to the current structure. Determine the types of national events that have improved the FAR. Then, provide one recommendation to further improve the FAR that benefits the collective business community. ______________________________________________________________ 4. Compare the development of the FAR from a military-spending perspective with a civilian-agency spending perspective. Compare the total budgets for discretionary funding between military and civilian agencies.
