# IGCE Builder: Cost-Reimbursement (CPFF / CPAF / CPIF)
## Overview
This skill produces Independent Government Cost Estimates for cost-reimbursement contracts. CR contracts reimburse the contractor for allowable costs incurred plus a fee. The cost buildup is structurally similar to FFP (layered cost pools: fringe, overhead, G&A), but instead of profit-as-markup, CR contracts use a negotiated fee that varies by subtype. The IGCE estimates what those allowable costs should be and what fee structure is appropriate.
CR contracts are common outcomes from BAAs (FAR 35.016), R&D contracts, and complex requirements where the government assumes cost risk but controls it through auditable cost pools and negotiated fee structures.

1. **bls-oews** -- market wage data by occupation and geography. Key tools: `get_wage_data`, `igce_wage_benchmark`, `list_common_metros`, `list_common_soc_codes`.
2. **gsa-calc** -- awarded GSA MAS ceiling hourly rates. Key tools: `suggest_contains`, `exact_search`, `keyword_search`, `igce_benchmark`, `price_reasonableness_check`.
3. **gsa-perdiem** -- federal CONUS travel lodging and M&IE. Key tools: `lookup_city_perdiem`, `estimate_travel_cost`, `get_mie_breakdown`.
**Regulatory basis:** FAR 15.402 (cost/pricing data). FAR 15.404-1(a) (cost analysis). FAR 15.404-4 (profit/fee analysis). FAR 16.301 through 16.307 (cost-reimbursement contracts). 10 USC 3322(a) (statutory fee caps).
