If it is in the best interest of the Government, the contracting officer may authorize cost-reimbursement contractors to obtain, for official purposes only, interagency fleet management system (IFMS) vehicles and related services. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 51.205 and the clause at FAR 52.251-2, Interagency Fleet Management System (IFMS) Vehicles and Related Services are to be used in solicitations and contracts when a cost reimbursement contract is contemplated and the contracting officer may authorize the contractor to use IFMS vehicles and related services.
The average wages per hour has increased due to inflation, but the number of estimated respondents per year is being decreased from 180 respondents to 132 respondents based on analysis of FY 2015 data obtained from FPDS (whereas the 180 was based on FY 2012 FPDS data). As a result, the estimated burden to the public has decreased, from 180 hours to 132 hours (and from $8,085.60 to $7,460.64).
