A standardized Microsoft Excel workbook developed by the U.S. Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) to help government contractors prepare and submit their annual incurred cost proposals in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements. The ICE Model provides structured schedules, calculations, and validation checks that assist contractors in organizing cost data and producing a more complete and consistent submission. While use of the ICE Model can improve the quality and completeness of an incurred cost proposal, it does not guarantee that the submission will be determined adequate or accepted by the DCAA.
