SBIR/STTR Contracts – Know Cost “Eligibility” Rules

in Blog by
PNWC's Government Contracting Update

We use these pages to keep readers up to date on FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) cost principles (i.e. FAR Part 31) and supplemental cost principle regulations from individual agencies (e.g. DFARS or DoD FAR Supplement). Contractors need to understand however that there are many other factors that affect the allowability and eligibility of costs. Contracts and grants often contain specific limitations while agencies themselves impose their own limitations. When it comes to SBIR/STTR programs, things can get very confusing and its necessary to fully understand allowability and eligibility criteria when negotiating contract prices. Here are some examples of competing or conflicting guidance pertaining to SBIR/STTR contracts.
