Management Organization, Responsibilities, and Authorities. The objective of CR task orders is to obtain the specified work or service on time at the least possible cost. As such, the Contractor must demonstrate a management team and organization capable of performing its own management and subcontract management effectively and efficiently. The Government is concerned with the Contractor's ability to control and project costs on cost reimbursement orders since much of the risk associated with cost on cost reimbursement orders is borne by the Government. Therefore, the Contractor shall exercise adequate cost control policies and procedures. It is expected the Contractor will have in place standard operating procedures to cover its detailed procedures relating to cost reimbursement contracted work with the Government. Cost control is also important because of the multiple funding sources possible under this contract. As such, work will be obligated and directed not only by task order, but by individual project funds. It is imperative that the Contractor be capable of estimating, budgeting, accounting, and reporting costs by individual funding source as well as work item. In accordance with DFARS 252.242-7006, the Contractor must be capable to track costs on cost- reimbursable actions. To the extent practical, the Government will attempt to segregate task orders or other work authorizations to a sole funding source for administrative convenience. The Contractor shall make available, upon request, supporting documents and provide for physical inspection or demonstration at the appropriate office, of its accounting system capabilities to support cost reimbursement contract accounting needs.
