General

The VE Incentive Clause is a 1.5 page series of words in what is often a 2-inch thick contract document. If you are a contracting officers, you probably gave the contractor the obligatory pamphlet, said the magic words, and moved on to other issues. Thereby you met your legal requirements. However, with all the other issues involved, both you and the contractor may have almost forgotten the VE Incentive Clause.

What is a VECP?

A Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) is a contractual mechanism provided by Federal, state, and private businesses. It gives a financial incentive to get contractors and subcontractors to reduce the immediate and subsequent cost of systems, supplies, and services for contracts in-progress. [more]

Obtaining the VECP Benefits

We offer the most complete and integrated systems for generating, analyzing, and reporting the results of VECP activities. Our system was designed by the only two experts recognized by the US Court of Appeals as experts in VECP practices. We believe we have created the most comprehensive VECP generation and analysis system. The system allows the user (contractor, contracting officer, contracting management and reporting groups) to take advantage of over 60 years of experience in the field. Using our system, you can avoid common pitfalls, generate high quality VECP documents, improve acceptance and monitoring possibilities, and avoid as much as 90% of reporting costs. All this for FREE, to a highly enhanced but modest cost option. [more]

VECP training

However, as a contractor, how do you recognize opportunities so you can get them into the system. Contracting Officers have other issues. Our training courses are tuned for each group so as to help you in enjoying the benefits of the VECP. We have had people that went to a five day onsite course tell us that the results they obtained through our online course far exceeded the onsite. [more]
