FAR 30.202-6 Responsibilities.

In plain English

This section assigns responsibilities for Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) coverage and Disclosure Statements. It says the contracting officer decides when a proposed contract may require CAS coverage, includes the proper notice in the solicitation, and ensures required certifications and Disclosure Statements are submitted. It also restricts award of a CAS-covered contract until the cognizant Federal agency official determines a required Disclosure Statement is adequate, unless a limited exception applies.

Applies to: Contracting officers, offerors, contractors, cognizant auditors, and the cognizant Federal agency official (CFAO) in CAS-covered acquisitions

What it requires

• The contracting officer must include the appropriate CAS notice in the solicitation.
• The contracting officer must ensure the offeror has made required solicitation certifications and that required Disclosure Statements are submitted.
• The contracting officer shall not award a CAS-covered contract until the CFAO makes a written determination that a required Disclosure Statement is adequate, unless the agency head authorizes award without submission to protect the Government's interest.
• If award is made without the required Disclosure Statement, the contractor shall submit it and the CFAO shall determine adequacy as soon as possible after award.
