Summary

A review of the reasonableness of contract modifications and prices negotiated between the Air Force and Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Group was made.

The modification is a comprehensive amendment which sets definite prices, terms, and conditions for domestic and European participating industry coproduced F-100 aircraft engines and exercises production options. Analysis of the work performed by the various Department of Defense team members indicated that a comprehensive and thorough analysis of the contractor's proposals was made. There was no indication that the established negotiation objective and the final negotiated price were other than fair and reasonable.
