What is included in a Final Rate Proposal (FRP)?

A Final Rate Proposal (FRP) is a crucial document that contains finalized data reflecting the actual expenditures associated with contracts within a designated fiscal year. It serves as a comprehensive summary of the costs incurred during contract performance, allowing contracting officers and stakeholders to assess the financial implications accurately.

The focus on final actual costs data in the FRP underscores its purpose: to provide a definitive financial representation rather than projections or estimates. Consequently, this ensures that all parties have access to reliable information about what has been spent, thereby facilitating more informed decision-making regarding future contracts or evaluations of past performances.

In contrast, other elements such as projected costs for future contracts, budget estimates for upcoming projects, or summaries of contract negotiations do not align with the principal aim of the FRP, which is to reflect historical financial data. Rather, these elements might belong in different types of documents tailored to planning or negotiating purposes.
