Government Contracts - What Costs Are Allowable vs. Unallowable?

 

There are 46 cost principles included in FAR Subpart 31.

A cost is allocable if there is a relationship between the cost incurred and the performance of the contract. A relationship between the cost and contract includes a cost specifically incurred for the performance of the contract. Costs incurred for the specific contract as well as for other work being performed, and the costs can be distributed to the work in a reasonable proportion to the benefit received (indirect cost – such as overhead). This video reviews how costs incurred are necessary for the overall operation of the business, although no direct relationship can be shown.
