Review or audit of cost and pricing data supporting a supplier's proposal results in a superior win-win negotiation.

Cost Analysis of Subcontract Proposals

Defense Division of a Fortune 200
Conducted dozens of on-site cost analyses of supplier proposals; developed (hierarchy structured) workpapers with all to/from references and Purpose, Source, Scope, and Conclusion on each; submitted a report, understandable for a Subcontract Administrator and void of “accounting-eeze” complexities. Occasionally, supported negotiations for major subcontracts.

Defense Division of a Fortune 200
Conducted analyses of a dozen cost proposals for terminated subcontracts. Led less-sophisticated suppliers through rationales and available options for supporting cost proposals for terminated, fixed price purchases. Obtained approval of negotiation goals, based on cost analyses and negotiated all resulting termination settlements.

Defense Division of a Fortune 500
Conducted dozens of on-site cost analyses of supplier proposals for a California Aerospace contractor. Submitted a report to assist the applicable Subcontract Administrator and, when warranted, spoke with him/her about (non-monetary) “hot buttons” for the supplier that were not obvious. Provided information from the Subcontract Administrator’s perspective, toward win-win negotiations.
