Cost reimbursement payment provides for payment of allowable incurred costs to the extent prescribed in the contract. The government reimburses the contractor for all allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs as they are incurred, plus any applicable fee. This method is inherent to cost-type contracts (CPFF, CPIF, CPAF) and provides the most complete financing since the contractor bears minimal financial risk.
