• DITCO charges a 1.25% fee for any Task Orders issued by DITCO
  

Effective 1 October 2009, the DISA Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF), Enterprise Acquisition Services (EAS) program fee-for-service (more commonly known as the DITCO fee) will be returned from its current 1.25 percent to a more normalized 2 percent fee. In order to give back prior year DWCF profits to our customers, DISA lowered the fee from 2 percent to 1.25 percent back in FY 2006. Starting in FY 2010, the fee will be returned to its original 2 percent, in order to fully recover all of DISA's DWCF EAS program operating costs, thus breaking even (i.e. costs equal revenues) as required by the DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR). This fee increase has been approved by OSD and documented in their Program Budget Decision (PBD) 426, dated November 2008.

• External Agency ordering authorized (1% fee collected by contractor and paid to DITCO)
