Check the following (FAR Part 31.205-32):

31.205-32 Precontract costs.

Precontract costs are those incurred before the effective date of the
contract directly pursuant to the negotiation and in anticipation of the
contract award when such incurrence is necessary to comply with the
proposed contract delivery schedule. Such costs are allowable to the extent
that they would have been allowable if incurred after the date of the
contract (see 31.109).

Subject:  [RESADM-L] Pre-award Costs and the FARs

Does anyone know if there is a provision in the FARs that addresses the
allowability of pre-award costs similar to that in A-110 25(e)(1)?

Thanks!
