CAS Exemption For Time & Material And Labor Hour Contracts
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 07.06.07

Reg. 36367, July 3, 2007) exempting Time and Material (T&M) and Labor Hour (LH) contracts for commercial items from CAS coverage. Because the comparable FAR provisions require competition as a prerequisite to award of T&M and LH contracts for commercial items, the CAS exemption will apply only to competitively awarded contracts.
