Subcontractor Pre-Award Accounting System Survey and Evaluation

The contract requires the performance of pre-award evaluations of subcontractors’ accounting systems to determine their readiness for compliance with federal cost principles and Department of Energy requirements. These assessments are critical to ensuring that subcontractors maintain accurate, transparent, and compliant financial controls prior to awarding subcontracts under DOE-funded projects. The work involves detailed reviews of accounting practices, cost allocation methods, internal controls, and documentation procedures to confirm alignment with applicable federal regulations and DOE-specific standards. The opportunity is tied to the Berkeley National Laboratory as a DOE contractor and is focused on subcontractors whose performance will impact federally funded programs. The place of performance is designated as Berkeley, CA, with a response deadline of June 1, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. Although no solicitation number is provided, the NAICS code 541611 indicates this is a management consulting services engagement. The contract will likely involve on-site or remote audits, written reports documenting findings, and recommendations for corrective actions where deficiencies are identified to support the integrity of DOE’s subcontracting ecosystem.
