Armed Services Pricing Manual now online

Defense AT&L, Jan-Feb, 2008

On Oct. 1, 2006, the director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, reestablished the Office of Cost, Pricing, and Finance to help reinvigorate the cost and pricing skills within DoD and ensure the appropriate use of award/incentive fees, among other tasks. To help provide additional tools and information to the acquisition, technology, and logistics workforce, the Defense Acquisition University's David D. Acker Library has made the Armed Services Pricing Manual, Volume 1, Contract Pricing (1986) and the Armed Services Pricing Manual, Volume 2, Price Analysis (1987) available electronically, converting them into searchable documents. Direct links to the current Contract Pricing Reference Guides and the historical ASPM are provided below.
