About this file
This document is a Pre-Award Accounting System Checklist that is used to evaluate a contractor's accounting system prior to award of a government contract. The checklist covers a variety of questions related to the contractor's accounting system, including whether it has been audited by DCAA, whether it complies with Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), whether it is in full operation and in accordance with GAAP, whether it can segregate direct and indirect costs, accumulate costs by contract, provide for labor distribution, and generate financial information required for contract administration. The contractor must provide detailed narrative responses to each question. The checklist is generally required for contractors planning to bid on cost-type government contracts.
The related federal contract opportunity is for a Technical Support Services Contract for the Infrastructure Engineering Laboratories at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC). This is a competitive small business set-aside solicitation using FAR Part 15 procedures to establish a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The services required include laboratory support with engineers, technicians, and other staff to complete requirements for one or more of the engineering laboratories at TFHRC.
