Understanding the Contract Budget Base (CBB) Log 🔥

🚨 Understanding the Contract Budget Base (CBB) Log 🔥

The CBB Log plays a critical role in Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS), offering a structured and traceable way to document budget changes throughout a project’s lifecycle. At Elixir Value Management Systems, Inc., we help organizations utilize CBB Logs to enhance control, ensure compliance, and maintain baseline integrity.

🔑 Key Components of the CBB Log:

✅ Negotiated Cost (NC):

The agreed baseline cost for definitized work, forming the foundation of the CBB.

✅ Authorized Unpriced Work (AUW):

Budget for authorized but not yet definitized work, allowing work to proceed while awaiting contract negotiations.

✅ Profit/Fee:

The contractor’s profit, excluded from the CBB.

✅ Target Price:

The total contract value, including NC and Profit/Fee.

✅ Contract Budget Base (CBB):

The total authorized budget, including NC and AUW, but excluding fees.

✅ Management Reserve (MR):

Budget held for in-scope risks, tracked carefully to ensure proper use.

✅ Undistributed Budget (UB):

A temporary placeholder for budget awaiting allocation.

✅ Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB):

The time-phased budget derived from the CBB, minus MR and UB.

✅ Distributed Budget (DB):

Budget allocated to control accounts and work packages for execution.

📊 Why is the CBB Log Essential?

🔹 Provides month-to-month traceability of budget changes.

🔹 Aligns with IPMR/IPMDAR reporting for consistency and transparency.

🔹 Supports compliance with EIA-748 change control standards.

🔹 Delivers actionable insights for managing risks and adjustments.

💡 We acknowledge the contributions of the United States Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Defense Industrial Association - (NDIA) IPMD, and Humphreys & Associates, Inc. for their continued leadership in shaping EVMS principles and advancing best practices.

At Elixir Value Management Systems, Inc., we guide organizations in implementing CBB Logs that align with EIA-748 standards to ensure compliance and measurable results.
