Proposal Preparation Costs


Recommended Posts

Please describe the circumstances . For example:

Competitive action?

Non-competitive action?

Original contract?

Modification to the contract?

If for new contract, how are bid and proposal costs normally accounted for by the company ? 

If for modification, who is preparing the proposal ?  If it is the same person or persons preparing bids and proposals- and if those person(s)’ costs are charged to an overhead or G&A pool, they are already covered. 

For a modification, If it is prepared by employees already being paid under the (FFP) contract, and if there are no additional costs involved, my position was “no”. 

If it is a proposal for a claim, “no”.

It seems the original poster has abandoned this thread.

Probably because we pointed them at the answer rather than providing it.

All new task orders procured non-competitively via single award IDIQ.

As direct costs; the contract vehicle treats every single task order as either an "engineering change proposal" or "contract change proposal".

All offerors, or just the winner?

The sole offeror/winner.

Have you read FAR 31.205-18 to determine what, if any, effect it might have on your question?

Very helpful. Thank you.

If you are from a DOD agency/component have you read the guidance on the topic, to determine what, if any, effect it might have on your question?
