Best Method of Allocating Indirect Costs

The selection of what indirect rates to charge government contracts is critical to meeting cost and pricing objectives, whether they are to maximize cost recovery or to lower cost recovery to maintain price competitiveness.  The selection of indirect rates should be periodically evaluated against changing current and future contracting opportunities, competitive threats and business operations.  Whatever choice is made, you can expect audit scrutiny so you need to be prepared to defend your selections.  

Our services include:

 

  • Put forth alternative indirect rate structures in light of pricing objectives
  • Conduct  sensitivity analyses to help select the best alternative indirect rates
  • Determine justification of selected indirect rates methods
  • Recommend actions to ensure the best chances of government acceptance
  • Negotiate acceptance by auditors and ACOs
