+FC 30.201 - Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) applicability.
+The determination of CAS applicability can be made at any time prior to contract award.
+Sometimes, an initial CAS determination, made during acquisition planning, will need to be
+updated throughout pre-award activities as new information emerges. For instance, a contract
+awarded to a small business concern will be exempt from CAS applicability under 48 CFR
+9903.201-1(b), even if the initial acquisition plan did not anticipate award to a small business.
+Remember to keep the acquisition plan updated in accordance with FC 7.104(b)(3) to reflect
+any new information that could impact CAS applicability learned during the pre-award phase.
+Exemptions to CAS should not be confused with waivers granted under FAR 30.202. Waivers
+should be rare and only granted or submitted for approval to the CASB when benefits to be
+derived from waiving the CAS outweigh the risk associated with the waiver, and contract award
+cannot otherwise be obtained.
+FC 30.301 - Coordination with the cognizant federal agency official (CFAO).
+To identify the CFAO for a particular contract award, use the contractor’s CAGE code or
+contract number in the Award Management Team (AMT) section of Electronic Data Access
+(EDA).
+There is also a locator on the Defense Contract Management Agency’s (DCMA) website. To
+find the cognizant team, fill out the form with your email and the contractor CAGE code.
