Just realized that I posted this in the wrong Forum subgroup.
We (non-profit organization) have a cost reimbursement contract from DOE and need to rebudget between direct cost line items to allow for more spending on labor and less on travel. We will not exceed the total contract value.
For DOE grants, the EDGAR regulation is ?The Secretary may restrict the transfer of funds among direct cost categories or programs, functions and activities for awards in which the Federal share of the project exceeds $100,000 and the cumulative amount of the transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed 10 percent of the total budget as last approved by the Secretary.?
Since this is a contract, the federal contracts officer is asking me to supply the FAR regulation which states that a contractor may rebudget between line items and the percent limits before approval is required by the contracts officer.
I can't find such a regulation in the FAR, but I am sure you all will know.
Vern: This is my first time posting, so please be gentle.
