Sec. 1515.404-472  Other methods.

    (a) Contracting officers may use methods other than those prescribed 
in 1515.404-470 for establishing profit or fee objectives under the 
following types of contracts and circumstances:
    (1) Architect-engineering contracts;
    (2) Personal service contracts;
    (3) Management contracts, e.g., for maintenance or operation of 
Government facilities;
    (4) Termination settlements;
    (5) Services under labor-hour and time and material contracts which 
provide for payment on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis, and where the 
contractor's contribution constitutes the furnishing of personnel.
    (6) Construction contracts; and
    (7) Cost-plus-award-fee contracts.
    (b) Generally, it is expected that such methods will:
    (1) Provide the contracting officer with a technique that will 
ensure consideration of the relative value of the appropriate profit 
factors described under ``Profit Factors,'' in FAR 15.404-4(d) and
    (2) Serve as a basis for documentation of the profit or fee 
objective.
