Most emphasis is being placed on Sections 1102 & 1106. But from deep in the bowels of this thing comes Section 3610. I don't understand it and I can't seem to get a plain English version.
DoD has hopped on this thing and issued a memorandum. If DoD does it, I don't know what's stopping other agencies.
The general perception on my part is that contractors must credit the costs resulting from loan forgiveness and pass on:
- the cost benefit to the govt for cost-plus contracts.
- the recovery benefit in terms of hours to the govt for T&M contracts.
- No pass through of the benefit for fixed-price contracts, however, there's nothing stopping a force majuere equity adjustment reduction due to changed legislation.
Due I have a clue what's going on with this section 3610? Comments invited.
I am aware there is another thread going on that is more comprehensive. But I see a different picture than COs riding a white horse to help contractors via 3610. More like the above...
