Thank you @Retreadfed. Helpful to understand the difference between when it is requested verses not requested.

I have looked at FAR 31.205-18 but I don't think this work fits. This work is directly related to the contract, but would a CO consider it IR&D or B&P?

Hello - I am aware that the government does not pay for costs associated with the preparation and submission of a proposal, what are the general rules/guidelines regarding modifications? As an example we have an active contract where we are negotiating a change in scope and pricing. This modification has taken weeks and multiple rounds of negotiation equaling dozens of hours of work for our staff. Is it generally acceptable that we charge for work preparing modifications on active contracts so long as there is an appropriate billing code/task available? Thank you!

Exactly, we are adding a subcontractor because the government has added work that we do not have staff to fulfill. The quickest way to meet the governments needs was to add a subcontractor.

Thank you! We have these clauses in our contract.

Thank you for the insight!

Hello - We are adding a subcontractor to a project that is under GSA. The subcontractor does not have a GSA schedule, so we are planning to map their hours to our approved LCATS. The biggest question is what rates should be included in the subcontract? Does the sub charge us our rates, or do they charge their rates? If the subs rates are lower than the rates we are mapping them to and we charge the government the higher rates are we opening ourselves up for an audit risk? Thank you for your assistance!
