What are Unallowable Costs? Just because a cost can be allocated to a contract doesn’t mean it can be billed directly to that contract. These costs are called “unallowable costs”.

Kevin and Paul discuss the concept of unallowable costs and some examples from FAR Part 31.201. Learn why some costs are not billable on Government contracts and why it is important to set up your accounting system to properly segregate allowable from unallowable costs.

Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help Government and Industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks. Admittedly, the podcast’s name sounds very limiting, but it’s not just for contracting officers or even just for those in the contracting profession. Anyone with an interest in the Federal acquisition world can benefit from the insight and down-to-earth explanations of complicated topics provided by the hosts.
