Thanks you for all the responses. Sidetracked with multiple proposal activities, but finding these answers helpful. My apologies for not posting this in a more appropriate forum. A bit more data. this is a services contract with a DDO customer. FAR 52.246-4 is not in our contract.
here 2 help: On what basis would you charge the government for a seat? We typically charge this customer to sit in our space - we are giving up company space that could be utilized by our own performers, why wouldn't we? What contractual provision permits you to do that? What clause precludes me? How would you calculate the amount to be billed? Chop up square footage, apply facilities rates, any other needs, dedicated entrance, network activity, conference room space, etc. Would it include a share of your indirect costs? yes. Profit? maybe
That concept was the least of my ask. I was more focused on whether there is precedent for the type of agreement/NDA to which Joel/Culham allude. I like the idea of a partnering process. Just didn't want to approach the Customer if this was prohibited somehow. Looks like FAR 52.246-4 would be restricting, but does not apply here.
