  1. We have prime CPAF service contractor that likes to state that they are Agents or Representatives of the government. I don't see anything like this stated anywhere in their contract or can I find anything in the FAR. My understanding is the contractor is only an agent or representative of their corporation and are acting within the confines of their contract for which they submit invoices which are reimbursement by the government in accordance with their contract. I would like to stop them from making these misleading statements. Am I correct?
  2. Being new to Acquisition, I was surprised to learn recently that State and Franchise Taxes are considered allowable under FAR 31.205-41. Contractors on cost reimbursable contracts are adding these expenses on a routine basis as ODC allowable expenses. I would be interested in knowing anything about the background and reasoning behind this regulation. I just find it a little hard to understand why we reimburse the contractor for their cost, plus add profit, and pay their taxes too. Shouldn't they pay their own taxes?
