I have a question regarding splitting labor and Travel that were incurred in support of the same conference across two Task Orders.
We have two contracts in place, with overlapping Periods of Performance , both are funded, and the scope of these contracts allow us to provide Conference support to the same client. This client wanted us to spend down as much of the money on Contract A as possible and then start charging to Contract B.
We had an employee travel and support a week-long conference for this client. After you factor in the Labor costs incurred for this conference and bill them to Contract A the funding for Contract A will be fully expended. Knowing that we have Travel that is going to hit once lagging expense reports are processed, we will have exceeded the funding on Contract A. As a result, the client wants us to bill the Travel for the conference to Contract B.
Ultimately my question is, Can I charge labor incurred at the conference against one contract while I charge the Travel for the conference against a different contract?
