Good Intentions Technology, (GIT) submitted a Firm Fixed Price Proposal (FFP) to the Federal Watchout
Agency (FWA), in response to a Firm Fixed Price Solicitation, to build 75 B1-RD type Aerial Surveillance
Cameras (ASC). GIT is a world leader in surveillance systems and has delivered over 750 of the B1 series
cameras. The ASCs must be delivered no later than 24 months after receipt of order.
After a series of questions, information exchange, and clarification requests, GIT and the FWA have agreed to
meet in a formal fact finding session at an undisclosed location. GIT responded to the FWA RFP with the Cost
Summary Detail provided below, and is interested in a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) arrangement. GIT’s
Program Management asserts that a cost type effort may be better suited for delivering the FWA requirements,
than the Firm Fixed Price.
Your task, in Paper 2, is to provide preparation documentation to support face-to-face meetings between GIT
and the FWA. You must develop a simple fact-finding meeting agenda, which includes your pre-negotiation
objectives that you expect to accomplish. Additionally, you must explain how you plan to document the
structure of your future negotiation settlement, assuming that the FWA accepts the GIT Proposal, with no
further discussion.
The Paper content should include framing and documenting each one the following points, for which you may
take either the FWA or GIT perspective: High-level Fact-finding Meeting Agenda between GIT and FWA.
Development of Pre-negotiation Objectives with explicit emphasis on cost analysis techniques that can
be considered in evaluating the proposed direct labor, materials, and ODCs.
Proposed Documentation for a negotiated settlement with objective support.
Any Assumptions, such as regulatory, statutory, or operating guidelines used to accomplish the given
specifications, in your Paper.

5 Your Paper 2 is expected to explicitly cover the requirements listed above, and should be a thematic, coherent,
and relevant chronology, with smooth transitions. In all cases, provide SUPPORT for your negotiation with
minimum, but sufficient and convincing detail for its implementation. Research these items for additional
support, as needed, for framework.
Keep your thoughts organized by using good writing mechanics. Place a space between paragraphs, and
please use double spacing and HEADINGS to match the requirements and major points of your Paper for a
clear flow of your responses to the Assignment requirement. Abstracts are not required, and should not be
included.
Your exposition should reflect considerable thought and go beyond restating the text. A minimum of four (4)
peer reviewed sources are required. You are expected to follow the APA guidelines for citations. This means
that statements of "facts" supported by references must be both cited within the text and be listed in the
references section of at the paper’s end.

pages not counting the Cover Page and Reference List. This paper is worth 25 points and is due on April 2,
2017. You are required to observe and pay strict attention to the Academic Integrity Policies and Guidelines in
your writing. Submit your completed Paper to the Assignments Folder.
The information above is all that you need for completing this Assignment. However, you are allowed to make
reasonable assumptions to support additional information that you need to sufficiently justify your narrative.
