  9. Re:cost plus contract on Lockheed Martin Screwup Delays Delivery of Air Force GPS Satellites (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    cost plus contracts are about the only ones that are legitimately bid. most of the others are insider-type "fixes". historically, cost plus has meant three things: 1. if the US Government (contracting agency) changes anything after awarding the bid, cost plus activates. 2. if any other Government (China) changes any procurement procedures, cost plus activates. 3. finally, if an Act of God, War, or other devastation delays fulfillment, cost plus activates. yes, the US taxpayers pay more (they always do under most systems), but they get real competition in bidding. without cost plus protection, bidding would be limited to the insiders.
