When having a R&D contract with GSA and using both 3400 and 3600 funds is there a reg or something that tells you if you can interchange them to pay for invoices?

I’m not sure if you’re asking if R&D funds can pay O&M obligations and without understanding the contract’s structure, I’ll offer you this resource as a guide to the “Purpose Statute”.

In general, 31 U.S.C. 1301(a) states that —
“Appropriations shall be applied only to the objects for which the appropriation were made…”
Here, you are examining the relationship between the expenditure and the appropriation you want to charge. Also, one of the tests of a proper expenditure is that it is not provided for and within the scope of another appropriation.
Hopefully, this can help you answer or refine your question.
