Can I outline an issue our company has with a Gov't Agency?
1) Our company submitted a proposal for a "3rd party oversight effort", involving 6 subcontractors to the Government.
2) The Government awarded the agreement to our Company AFTER the Gov't performed a financial audit on two of our subs.
3) An internal kickoff meeting for the award revealed that our company solicited Cost Reimbursable subcontracts from the 6 subcontractors.
4) There is no evidence the contractor's have a Government APPROVED accounting system Per FAR 16.301-3.
5) Therefore only FFP or T&M agreements can be issued.
6) Our company went back and requested T&M rates to move things forward.
7)Now our company is requesting the Government toAPPROVE the use of T&M subcontracts based on a proposed annual audit of the subs indirect rates.
CAN OUR COMPANY DO THIS? What will the Government's response be?
