Government Contracting
Compliance is not optional. We deliver SAP environments engineered for CAS, FAR, DFARS, and DCAA scrutiny, with documentation auditors expect.
- ·CAS and FAR cost accounting
- ·DFARS and federal compliance
- ·DCAA audit readiness
- ·Indirect rate management and forward pricing
- CAS-compliant SAP configurations
- Federal security and access design
- Audit-ready process documentation
- Indirect rate and forward pricing automation
The regulatory landscape
Government Contracting is defined by the regulatory frameworks that govern how costs are measured, reported, and audited. The Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) govern measurement, assignment, and allocation of costs. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its defense supplement (DFARS) define the rules of procurement and contract administration. DCAA audits verify compliance with both.
Underneath these frameworks sit specific requirements that translate into SAP configuration: indirect rate structures, labor distribution rules, segregated cost pools, incurred cost submissions, forward pricing rate proposals, and CAS disclosure statement adherence. Each is a potential point of failure if the SAP environment is configured without specialized knowledge.
How SAP fits Government Contracting
SAP Project Systems (PS) structures the general ledger around contracts and programs, with Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements that carry both direct and indirect costs in the correct proportions. Controlling (CO) manages the indirect rate pools: overhead, G&A, fringe, material handling, and others, with allocation rules that satisfy CAS and FAR.
For contract types, SAP handles the full spectrum: fixed-price (FFP), cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF), cost-plus-incentive-fee (CPIF), time-and-materials (T&M), and others, each with distinct billing, revenue recognition, and reporting requirements. The environment must produce incurred cost submissions, forward pricing rate proposals, and the supporting documentation that DCAA auditors expect, with traceability from the source transaction through the final report.
Where standard SAP leaves gaps, extensions like Dassian Solutions close them. Dassian provides SAP-native contracts, procurement, and GovCon compliance functionality that runs inside the core SAP environment rather than as a separate system that has to be reconciled at period close.
RevTech's approach in Government Contracting
Our GovCon practice is led by consultants who have built, run, and audited SAP environments at the largest government contractors in the country. We design configurations that pass DCAA audit on first review. We document architectural decisions with the traceability that auditors expect. We structure indirect rates so that rate changes at the business level translate into configuration changes without full reimplementations.
For clients needing specialized GovCon functionality beyond standard SAP, we deliver Dassian Solutions through our go-to-market partnership. Every engagement is staffed with cleared US-citizen consultants, and the engagement model is senior practitioners working onshore with no offshore handoffs. That matters for GovCon clients whose work includes ITAR-controlled data or whose contracts require a fully domestic delivery footprint.
