The DoD Cost Estimating Guide (v2.0), published January 2022, is an update to the guide previously published in January 2021. It provides the cost community with a DoD-level resource for a consistent and repeatable cost estimating process guide (not mandate) developed by the OSD Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (CAPE). It was designed to be both a starting point for new cost estimators and an excellent resource for the experienced cost analyst.
