fee, hereinafter referred to as a cost reimbursement contract, may be made under

KRS 45A.085, 45A.090 or 45A.095, unless it is determined in writing by the

be less costly to the Commonwealth than any other type of contract, or that it is

impracticable to obtain supplies or services of the kind or quality required except

under such a contract.

provided for in the contract, before entering into:

recognized as allowable, in accordance with cost principles set forth in regulations
