Cost Estimating Handbook

SEA 05C (formerly SEA 017) has been designated as the technical authority for cost engineering at NAVSEA. The NAVSEA Cost Estimating Handbook has been developed to provide a foundation of current, relevant and quality technical standards. The handbook provides information on cost engineering processes for the NAVSEA cost engineering community, as well as providing a ready reference to support the stewardship of our cost engineering capabilities.

If you have any comments, questions or feedback concerning the handbook, please e-mail NSSC_CEH_Feedback@navy.mil.
