Interaction with DCAA regarding Phase I SBIR/STTR proposals is quite limited as these are usually firm fixed price contracts. There is no pre-award accounting system survey required for any firm fixed priced awards, and scrutiny of proposal pricing, in most cases, is manageable, as long as it’s less than $750,000. Once you receive a Phase II award your interaction will become more complex as the awards are often cost reimbursement type awards. DCAA involvement in Phase II will include a pre-award survey and pricing scrutiny, post-award accounting system audits, and incurred cost audits during the performance of your Phase II.
