Project Description
Description
The purpose of the IGCE is to develop an assessment of the probable cost of services being acquired and to help determine the reasonableness of an offeror’s proposed costs; pursuant to the FAR, and the offeror’s understanding of the work. An IGCE is required for every new acquisition that exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The IGCE is a cost estimate developed by the Government Requiring Activity without contractor influence; based on the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW). This course outlines the development of the IGCE and assists the learner in the preparation of the IGCE by applying associated methods and general best practices.
