International Cost Estimating and Analysis
Association: Enhancing Estimation Through
Cooperative Collaboration
Bob Hunt ICEAA International Treasurer
1
History
ICEAA was formed by the merger of the International
Society of Parametric Analysts (ISPA) and the Society of
Cost Estimating and Analysis (SCEA) in November 2012.
• ISPA was created in 1979 when more than 300 analysts and
managers assembled in Washington DC to promote
parametric methods in cost analysis
• SCEA was formed following the merger of the National
Estimating Society (NES) and the Institute of Cost Analysis
(ICA) in 1990. NES was predominantly an industry
association and ICA was predominantly a government
association
