Peter G,

Thank you for your comments on my blog.

Regarding your question on USA Spending and FEDBIZOPPS data commonality, please be aware that USA spending is what the name implies; i.e. it is payments by the government for supplies and services rendered by contractors on actual procurement contracts.

FEDBIZOPPS for the most part addresses solicitations for supplies and services that have yet to become contracts. It also contains sources sought notifications, requests for comment on draft solicitations and similar informal notices, all of which are in advance of contract award and in advance of the government incurring any cost of the type that would contribute to USA Spending data.

The final entry on FEDBIZOPPS with regard to a prospective individual buy would be a notice of award, a cancellation or a re-compete announcement.

From there another government data base,MOCAS - The government "Mechanization of Contract Administration Services" System takes over and feeds the USA Spending data base when payments to contractors occur.

If your company processes and DCAA disclosure at the job description level specify duties that relate to both direct and indirect functions for an employee, they can so charge on their time card.

You must have separate charge numbers that route the labor to an indirect pool for overhead duties and to projects for direct charge.

Great blog... I enjoy reading the articles. Wondering if anyone knows if a Govt contractor can have one rate for an employee that is technical/direct charge and a second rate that is a corp function/overhead under DCAA rules?

Appreciate the consideration!

Nice article. Do you know of anything that helps you manage the process of bidding and winning the contract after you find it on FedBizOpps?
