DOD price, cost and finance director steps down

Janice Muskopf, the Defense Department's director of price, cost and finance, has retired and will be temporarily succeeded by an acting official, according to a recent Pentagon memo.

Muskopf retired on May 1 after 34 years of government service that culminated in her role as PCF director, according to the memo by Principal Director of Defense Pricing and Contracting John Tenaglia.

During her tenure as PCF director, Muskopf helped complete the department’s first contract financing study in decades.

Meanwhile, procurement analyst Leslie Overturf has been designated as acting PCF director.
