Does NITAAC add the NIH Contract Access Fee (NCAF) to contract holder fully burdened rates?
Category: CIO-SP3 Small Business
No. The NCAF is not included in contract holder fully burdened rates under either the CIO-SP3 or CIO-SP3 Small Business GWACs. Therefore, the NCAF should be listed as a separate line item in contractor proposals as detailed in Article G.8 (NIH Contract Access Fee Remittance) of the CIO-SP3 or CIO-SP3 Small Business conformed contracts.
