A cost is allocable to a government contract if it:
- Is incurred specifically for the contract;
- Benefits both the contract and other work, and can be distributed in reasonable proportion to the benefits received; or
- Is necessary to the overall operation of the business, although a direct relationship to any particular cost objective cannot be shown.
In other words, a cost is allocable to a contract if it can be assigned to the contract through reasonable and consistent methods in accordance with relative benefits received or other equitable relationship. This helps ensure costs are not allocated to a contract multiple times or improperly.
