Allowability of Consultant Costs Does Not Necessarily Depend Upon the Existence of “Work Product” | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

Earlier this month, the ASBCA (Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals) published its decision on a wide range of cost issues that were disallowed by a DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency) administrative contracting officer (ACO). The contractor, Technology Systems, Inc. (TSI) challenged the ACO’s decision, winning on some of the issues and losing on others. The decision is very informative in helping Government contractors understand and apply FAR cost principles and we will spend a few days discussing various aspects of the decision.
