SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Fixed-price contracts with 

prospective price redetermination 

provide for firm fixed prices for an 

initial period of the contract with 

prospective redetermination at stated 

times during performance. Fixed price 

contracts with retroactive price 

redetermination provide for a fixed 

ceiling price and retroactive price 

redetermination within the ceiling after 

completion of the contract. In order for 

the amounts of price adjustments to be 

determined, the firms performing under 

these contracts must provide 

information to the Government 

regarding their expenditures and 

anticipated costs. The information is 

used to establish fair price adjustments 

to Federal contracts.
