- THIS IS A MARKET SURVEY FOR A LABOR HOUR CONTRACT WITH TRAVEL (IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL TRAVEL REGULATIONS) FOR CONTRACT AUDIT SERVICES. The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from firms capable of performing government contract/contractor audit and advisory services nationwide. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has audit responsibility cognizance over certain vendors who primarily hold contracts with the FAA.

These services include, but are not limited to: examination of proposals, incurred costs, interim and final contract billings, contract audit closing statements, financial capability, accounting systems, estimating systems, purchasing systems and other internal controls within the contractor s operational environment. Non-audit services include, but are not limited to: comparison of accounting practices used for proposals against incurred costs, verification of direct/indirect costs with the way they are recorded in the books and records, verification of labor rate calculations, and verification of proposed or claimed amounts to supporting data. FAA anticipates task orders to primarily focus on contractor incurred cost audits in compliance with (GAGAS) and Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audit programs and methodologies/definitions per the DCAA Contract Audit Manual.
