"During a routine government audit of our cost-plus contract, the DCAA flagged our timekeeping records. They told us that because we ran our proposal and bid-phase costs through general G&A instead of dedicated codes, we are non-compliant. They are retroactively disallowing $350,000 in overhead expenses and slashing our negotiated billing multiplier."
Your accounting team is dumping pre-construction bidding costs into one giant overhead bucket. Because you aren't tracking exactly which hours were spent on which bids, the government views your billing multipliers as artificially inflated, resulting in severe audit fines and slashing your active contract billing rates.
Failing to segregate B&P labor violates CAS 420 and FAR Part 31. Understating B&P expenses inflates the direct labor denominator of the standard overhead rate formula, causing rate dilution that permanently reduces your negotiated multiplier on public sector cost-plus contracts.
VSI deploys an Integrated Timesheet & B&P Ledger. The system programmatically establishes dedicated B&P cost-accounting codes in your ERP, automatically capturing every direct and indirect proposal hour. This creates the mandatory CAS 420 audit trail, optimizes your indirect cost recovery pools, and protects your negotiated cost-plus multipliers from retroactive disallowances.
Dumping pre-construction hours into general overhead silently dilutes your multiplier and triggers immediate DCAA audit disallowances. VALZOX mathematically isolates pursuit labor to optimize recovery pools and lock in your contractual margins.
