Evidence of Adequacy of Accounting System (RFP Attachment A-20)

For the anticipated flexibly priced (see FAR 30.001) subcontract or fixed price with progress payments subcontract, the offeror is required to have an adequate accounting system for accumulating, reporting and billing direct and indirect costs incurred.

The offeror shall submit documentation evidencing an adequate accounting system such as a written determination or other statement from a cognizant federal government auditor or cognizant federal agency official that the system is adequate for flexibly priced subcontracts or for a fixed price subcontract with progress payments. This documentation must include the audit report number, date, and results. Also, identify any deviations from your standard accounting procedures in preparing the proposal to this solicitation.

This determination is required in order to ensure that the offeror’s accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to this subcontract. An opinion rendered by a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) cannot be substituted for a federal government determination.

If your accounting system has not been reviewed by a federal government agency, you shall submit the following information:

· Company’s full name

· DUNS number and cage code

· Company point of contact and phone no.

· Company address where accounting records are located

· Cognizant DCAA Office (address, DCAA point of contact, phone no., and email address)

· Cognizant DCMA Office (address, DCMA point of contact, phone no., and email address)

In addition, you agree to allow JPL to perform an Accounting System Review in order to determine the adequacy of your Accounting System.
