GFE
Government-Furnished Equipment
What it actually means
Equipment the government provides to a contractor for use in performing the contract — from test sets to engines to entire vehicles being modified. Every piece of GFE is a schedule and interface dependency the contractor doesn't control, which is why late or broken GFE is a staple of contract claims.
Where you'll meet it
Contract attachments, integration schedules, and delay-claim negotiations.
