DFARS 216.401-71 — Objective criteria
Regulatory text. Not legal advice.
(2) When objective criteria exist but the contracting officer determines that it is in the best interest of the Government also to incentivize subjective elements of performance, the most appropriate contract type is a multiple-incentive contract containing both objective incentives and subjective award-fee criteria (i.e., cost-plus-incentive-fee/award-fee or fixed-price-incentive/award-fee).
(3) See PGI [DFARS 216.401] for guidance on the use of award-fee contracts.
