ACC-APG Post Award Audits of Services Kari Schoerner

Advance Planning Briefing to Industry 23 April 2024

Controlled by: ACC-APG G3 POC : John Thompson

Agenda

Services contracts executed by ACC-APG

Cost Plus Fixed Fee Term contracts

Early auditing results

The auditing program process

ACC–APG obligates high dollars for services contracts

$6.6B in Services

Cost Plus Fixed Fee Term efforts are a special sub-set of the services actions awarded

LABOR CATEGORY LABOR HOURS HOURLY RATE

Senior Engineer 7,680

Junior Engineer 7,680

Administrative Assistant 1,920

Program Manager 1,920

Post Award auditing has resulted in real savings for the Army

Identifying excess funds early to repurpose and stretch the Army dollar

Negotiating consideration when contractor fails to provide labor meeting qualifications

Keeping closer tabs on actual performance results in better estimates for follow-on efforts

The Contracting Officer must be a good steward of taxpayer dollars

Are lines of communication open?

Does this indicate a problem?

Key Takeaways

Your Contracting Officer is looking more closely at actual labor categories, rates, and hours used to fulfill contract requirements

Keep the communication lines between your Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative open

Expect questions or requests for additional supporting information on invoice data, particularly when actuals do not equal what was proposed

We are on the same team; Let’s provide the warfighter what they need responsibly
