1. may waive the applicability of the CAS to a given contract or subcontract under the conditions referred to in point (b) of this Subsection; and (2) fixed-price incentive contracts and subcontracts where the price is not adjusted for the costs actually incurred (subsection 16.4); The authors argue that idiq contracts awarded should be carefully analyzed to determine the reasonably expected amount that the government will order at predetermined prices, and this figure should be used for the purposes of the CAS threshold. Any additional task orders requiring new quotes should be treated as separate contracts at the time and at the time of their conclusion. (Editor`s note. With most of the IDIQ contracts we come across, the question often arises as to what level the coverage of the AQHI and the Truth in Negotiations Act should be triggered, whereas so far, most contract managers accept the level of task order, but this is far from universal.) (i) as far as possible, not to adjust the price upwards in the case of fixed-price contracts; The FAR defines a contract letter as a “written provisional contractual instrument that authorizes the contractor to immediately begin manufacturing supplies or providing services.” Since the applicability of the SBT is determined by value at the time of award, a retrospective definition of contract letters would not result in new standards, as this is a contract change rather than a new contract. (v) Obliges the Contractor to adjust all invoices paid on the basis of contract prices that do not conform to the adjusted contract prices after adjustments to the contract prices have been made to remedy the non-conformity. (1) not make adjustments to the contract and complete the process of cost implications; (4) The fixed hourly portion of time and equipment and hourly and subcontracts (Subpart 16.6). (2) CfAO shall examine the Contractor`s request without delay and inform the Contractor in writing as soon as possible whether or not the request will be accepted. For basic agreements and basic purchase agreements, the FAR definitions refer to “future contracts where FAR and EAS do not take into account contracts and therefore conclude contracts awarded under one of the two types of agreements must be taken into account individually when determining the applicability of CAS. Since these instruments are not contracts, they are not protected by the CAS. Only individual orders covered by the CAS are contracts. Therefore, basic agreements and AABA do not need to be included in the calculation of CAS thresholds, but only individual orders among them. (1) The change in cost accounting practice is necessary to comply with a CAS or a change or interpretation thereof that has subsequently become applicable to one or more contracts or subcontracts; or (ii) the Contractor takes management actions that are directly related to the change and result in cost savings for segments with contracts and subcontracts covered by the CAS over a period for which forward price rates are developed, or 5 years, whichever is shorter, and cost savings are reflected in forward price rates; and 2.

Any company that, with its segments, received net awards covered by the CAS totaling more than $50 million during its most recent analytical accounting period. 1. CAD/CAM shall coordinate with the contract agents concerned before negotiating and resolving cost implications if the estimated cost impact on one of its contracts is at least $100,000. However, CAD/CAM has the exclusive authority to negotiate and address cost implications. (1) Customer shall insert the clause in far 52.230-4, Disclosure and Consistency of Cost Accounting Practices – Foreign Affairs, in contracts negotiated with foreign companies, unless the contract is otherwise excluded from the CAS (see 48 CFR 9903.201-1). Foreign companies do not include foreign governments or their agents or instruments. CAS is an acronym that stands for Cost Accounting Standards. The CAS is one of the two main “rules” on how government contractors must do their cost accounting.

The other is the cost principles of the Federal Procurement Regulations (FAR), which are included in Part 31 of the FAR. .
