Also for consideration.... Under a provisional or predetermined rate agreement?

What cost principles do you operate under? If it’s A-21, then the F&A rate in effect at the time of the award continues for the life of the award, even if the negotiated rate subsequently changes. If it’s A-122, the rate can change, but there may be a saving provision against a retroactive rate change.

Subject: [RESADM-L] F&A Question

Hi All,

Been wrestling in my head with an F&A question I haven't encountered previously. Say we received an award issued on 7/09/12 that used the indirect cost rate agreement in place at the time 80%. Subsequently we receive a new rate agreement of 75% dated 7/10/12 but with an effective period starting 6/10/12. The NoGA was issued using the agreement in place at the time of award, but I'm not sure if the subsequent agreement's retroactive effective period supercedes this… Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Sven
