[FAR Case 93-019]
RIN 9000-AG89
Federal Acquisition Regulation; Contingent Fees
AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense
Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) have decided to withdraw FAR
case 93-019, Contingent Fees, published in the Federal Register at 60
FR 54920, October 26, 1995. The rule proposed revisions to selling
costs to clarify that the costs of contingent fees are allowable only
when stated as a sum certain or not-to-exceed amount agreed upon
between the company and its agent (i.e, employee or commercial/selling
agency) in advance of the services being rendered.
As a result of the public comments received in response to the
proposed rule, the Councils have determined that the current cost
principles, especially FAR 31.201-3, Determining reasonableness, and
31.205-38, Selling costs, are adequate to properly assess the
allowability of these costs. Therefore, the proposed rule is withdrawn.
