FED is the team that processes all cost-based awards that are directly sourced from a federal sponsor but do not participate in the letter of credit draw (LOC). On the award profile card in Quantum Analytics awards managed by this team usually have a type 315 and a billing basis of Cost.  The team’s name also appears on the award profile for ease of identification.

This team also manages all federal contracts, the Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DOD) billing. There are some outliers in this Bill Fed group, such as foreign currency awards and all federal passthrough contracts with special requirements that require special attention.  These are handled by our Sr. Financial Analyst.
