I do not understand how decrementing profit on a commercial item would be appropriate if the determination of price reasonableness was truly based on a market price. It seems to me that the buyer is conducting a cost analysis and hoping to arrive at a cost-based price for a commercial item. Please clarify!!

Are you a contractor or a government buyer? What is the G&A base for the selling or buying entity? (Total Cost Input, Value-added, single element?) We need more information to be able to help you. Also, it appears you are looking at the DCAA Contract Audit Manual. CAS 410 can be accessed at https://www.acquisition.gov/chapter_99/part-9904-cost-accounting-standards.

Disallowance of G&A
govtacct02 replied to Corduroy Frog's topic in Contract Pricing Including CAS & Allowable Costs
If you agree to a $-0-or reduced amount for indirect costs using Alt 1, you are still required to follow your disclosed or established accounting practices for allocation of indirect costs. You cannot reallocate that cost to other contracts without this restriction. So in effect are voluntarily foregoing recovery of allocable, allowable and otherwise reasonable costs. -
We're having them conduct floor checks virtually. However, in this environment, not everyone they are floor checking has a camera on their computer and they've been trying to use FaceTime or similar app on a smart phone. Our employees don't like getting an unannounced video call while working from home during this situation, especially with ITC concerns. We've had some concerns about social engineering, too.

I don't know what I would do without WIFCON, either! -
When a foreign concern (UK; has a QMAC) is filling out the CAS Notifications and Representations and is claiming a foreign concern exemption , what is the compliant way to answer the question regarding the filing a CAS Disclosure Statement? Should they answer the question with information about their QMAC submission or leave the question blank since they do not have a CAS Disclosure Statement? Thanks!

We would have no way to provide that information to you without evaluating your particular situation...you have to go out for quotes...have you done that?

Thank you Bob. I read both side by side and the difference in the final one dated Jun 7 is that on the second page, the last sentence in the paragraph that starts "Effective immediately..." is revised as follows: "Contracting Officers shall implement this policy for all future solicitations that require a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data [emphasis added] and, to the extent practicable, in currently open solicitations."

Does anyone know where I can view a full copy of the CAS Working Group Interim Guidance Papers ? I had a link to a copy via DAU that was posted on this site years ago, however, that copy was missing pages at the end of WG Paper 81-25...and there is no longer a (publicly available) link on the DAU site. Thank you.
