    Is anyone aware of any limits placed on how much work an affiliate can perform on a contract when the parent company is the actual contract holder?  I do not believe the Excessive Pass Through clause would apply since it is an IOT and not a subcontract.

    Let me know if you need more detail.  Thanks in advance.

    SB set aside?

    No, it is not a SB set aside. It is an IDIQ.  Both entities are foreign owned.  The contract holder was set up with a security agreement so that it could perform classified work.  In the IDIQ proposal, the intent to have the affiliate perform any non-classified work was made clear, and the same for any Task Order proposals.  We have been very upfront on the issue.

    Initially, we got some push back on charging G&A for both entities, but won that argument.  Now they are complaining about how much work the affiliate is doing, but haven't offered any legal support (yet) for not allowing it.  I am just trying to get in front of any argument they may make.
