Greetings!

I'm struggling with the following scenario, and would love some input from
this knowledgeable group...

University is submitting a large proposal to a federal agency, pursuant to
a Broad Agency Announcement.  Included in University budget are funds for a
private entity to provide services (not research) to University, to include
training on assembling of technologies (theirs) and training and advice on
start-up of an assembly line.  Private entity includes a fee in their
budget.  Should the services of the private entity be treated as a
subcontract for calculation of F&A?  University rate is on MTDC.  Federal
agency will be issuing a Cooperative Agreement.

Am I making this harder than it needs to be?

Thanks in advance for the education...

Val Kettner
