# §17.105-2. Objectives.


Use of multiyear contracting is encouraged to take advantage of one or more of the following:

- (a) **Lower costs.**
- (b) **Enhancement of standardization.**
- (c) **Reduction of administrative burden in the placement and administration of contracts.**
- (d) Substantial continuity of production or performance, thus avoiding annual startup costs, preproduction testing costs, make-ready expenses, and phaseout costs.
- (e) **Stabilization of contractor work forces.**
- (f) Avoidance of the need for establishing quality control techniques and procedures for a new contractor each year.
- (g) Broadening the competitive base with opportunity for participation by firms not otherwise willing or able to compete for lesser quantities, particularly in cases involving high startup costs.
- (h) Providing incentives to contractors to improve productivity through investment in capital facilities, equipment, and advanced technology.
