(a) The costs of services provided by highly complex or specialized facilities operated by the non–Federal entity, such as computing facilities, wind tunnels, and reactors are allowable, provided the charges for the services meet the conditions of either paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, and, in addition, take into account any items of income or Federal financing that qualify as applicable credits under § 200.406.
(b) The costs of such services, when material, must be charged directly to applicable awards based on actual usage of the services on the basis of a schedule of rates or established methodology that:
(1) Does not discriminate between activities under Federal awards and other activities of the non–Federal entity, including usage by the non–Federal entity for internal purposes, and
(2) Is designed to recover only the aggregate costs of the services. The costs of each service must consist normally of both its direct costs and its allocable share of all indirect (F & A) costs. Rates must be adjusted at least biennially, and must take into consideration over/under-applied costs of the previous period(s).
(c) Where the costs incurred for a service are not material, they may be allocated as indirect (F&A) costs.
(d) Under some extraordinary circumstances, where it is in the best interest of the Federal government and the non–Federal entity to establish alternative costing arrangements, such arrangements may be worked out with the Federal cognizant agency for indirect costs.
