We have a fixed price contract governed by the FAR. Are we bound by A-21? I understand that we are supposed to use A-21 in pricing our proposal (The principles shall also be used as a guide in the pricing of fixed price or lump sum agreements.), but generally with fixed price, you have to get the work done for the price you proposed and the gov't doesn't look at your expenditures. How does this play with supplemental compensation paid to a faculty member that normally would not be allowable under A-21? I have an overload request and normally it would be easy to just refer to A-21 J10 and use those guidelines and say no, but would that be a rush to hasty judgment? Thanks. Carolyn TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION Sec. 31.102 Fixed-price contracts. The applicable subparts of part 31 shall be used in the pricing of fixed-price contracts, subcontracts, and modifications to contracts and subcontracts whenever (a) cost analysis is performed, or (b) a fixed- price contract clause requires the determination or negotiation of costs. However, application of cost principles to fixed-price contracts and subcontracts shall not be construed as a requirement to negotiate agreements on individual elements of cost in arriving at agreement on the total price. The final price accepted by the parties reflects agreement only on the total price. Further, notwithstanding the mandatory use of cost principles, the objective will continue to be to negotiate prices that are fair and reasonable, cost and other factors considered. TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION Sec. 31.302 General. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions, revised, provides principles for determining the costs applicable to research and development, training, and other work performed by educational institutions under contracts with the Government. TITLE 2--GRANTS AND AGREEMENTS CHAPTER II--OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET CIRCULARS AND GUIDANCE PART 220_COST PRINCIPLES FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (OMB CIRCULAR A 21)--Table of Contents Sec. 220.20 Applicability. (a) All Federal agencies that sponsor research and development, training, and other work at educational institutions shall apply the provisions of appendix A to this part in determining the costs incurred for such work. The principles shall also be used as a guide in the pricing of fixed price or lump sum agreements. (Sec.
