SUBJECT:     Audit of Proposed Fiscal Year 2004 Direct Labor Rates (Audit #20041C0220)

 

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) examined the contractor Civil Division’s proposed Forward Pricing Direct Labor Bid Rates dated October 31, 2003.  The purpose of the examination was to determine the reasonableness of the proposed forward pricing direct labor rates.

The DCAA opined that the contractor has submitted adequate cost or pricing data.  According to the DCAA, the proposal was prepared in accordance with applicable Cost Accounting Standards and appropriate provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.  Therefore, the DCAA considers the proposal to be acceptable as a basis for negotiation of fair and reasonable forward pricing direct labor rates.

The information in this report should not be used for purposes other than those intended without prior consultation with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration regarding their applicability.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (202) 622-8500 or John R. Wright, Director, at (202) 927-7077.
