God. I thought cost plus contracts were only used in exigent circumstances such as war, but apparently they are getting used more now, such as for the F-35.[1] Are software contracts really cost plus? These contracts shouldn’t be used for fighter jets or anything else. They should be banned except in critical situations and even then used sparingly. I remember stories about the boondoggle in Iraq, $20 coke cans and such.[2] Really sad if these are being used more now. Indicative of a lazy, corrupt government contracting process.
