Unanet ERP for Government Contractors API
Unanet cloud ERP REST API for government contractors and professional services firms with project accounting, DCAA compliance, and business development. Enables AI agents to manage project cost accounting and labor charging for government contract compliance, handle DCAA-compliant timesheets and audit trail for federal contractor billing integrity, access project budget and earned value management (EVM) for government program reporting, retrieve indirect rate allocation and cost pool management for overhead compliance, manage proposal and opportunity tracking via GovWin IQ integration for BD pipeline automation, handle employee time and expense processing for professional services billing, access contract modification and task order management for multi-contract operations, retrieve DCAA ICE (Incurred Cost Electronic Submission) data for annual incurred cost proposal, manage subcontract management and B2G compliance for prime contractor operations, and integrate Unanet with Deltek, government systems, and professional services platforms.

⚡ Reliability
Best When
A small-to-mid-size government contractor (DoD and civilian agencies) or professional services firm wanting AI agents to automate DCAA-compliant timekeeping, project cost accounting, indirect rate management, BD pipeline, and government contract billing.
Avoid When
DCAA SAME-DAY TIMESHEET COMPLIANCE: Automated timesheet submission in Unanet must be created on the day labor is performed; automated backdating or post-fact labor charging creates DCAA timekeeping violation and False Claims Act exposure for the contracting entity. FAR UNALLOWABLE COST SEGREGATION: Automated cost allocation must exclude FAR 31.205 unallowable costs from government contract charges; automated misallocation of entertainment, interest, or lobbying costs creates False Claims Act liability. ITAR/CMMC for defense work — Unanet project data for ITAR-controlled programs or CUI must be accessed only in CMMC-compliant environments; automated data access from non-compliant cloud environment violates DFARS 252.204-7012. Incurred cost submission accuracy — automated annual ICE submission data must reconcile to audited financial statements; automated ICE with reconciliation errors creates DCAA audit finding and potential questioned costs.
Use Cases
- • Processing timesheets from DCAA compliance agents
- • Managing project costs from government contract agents
- • Tracking proposals from BD pipeline agents
- • Generating incurred cost data from compliance reporting agents
Not For
- • Non-government contractors without project accounting needs
- • Commercial professional services without DCAA requirements
- • Large contractors requiring Deltek Costpoint-scale ERP

Known Gotchas
- ⚠ DCAA SAME-DAY TIMESHEET ENTRY: Automated timesheet creation must be on the day labor is performed; automated backdated timesheet for prior periods without DCAA waiver creates false billing risk; implement timesheet creation at shift end, not retroactively
- ⚠ FAR UNALLOWABLE COST MAPPING: Automated cost entry must map expense types to allowable/unallowable FAR 31.205 categories; automated expense import without unallowable cost flagging creates government contract mischarging risk
- ⚠ No webhooks — timesheet approval, invoice generation, and project milestone events require polling; no push notification for DCAA-relevant accounting events
- ⚠ Indirect rate sensitivity — automated indirect rate calculation in Unanet depends on cost pool and allocation base accuracy; automated timesheet or cost entry errors that shift indirect rate can cascade to all government contract billing on the same rate structure
- ⚠ ICE reconciliation requirement — automated incurred cost electronic (ICE) submission data must reconcile to general ledger; automated ICE generation without GL reconciliation check creates DCAA audit risk for questioned costs
- ⚠ GovWin IQ opportunity data freshness — Unanet GovWin IQ BD integration provides government opportunity data; automated opportunity scoring depends on GovWin data currency; stale opportunity data creates BD decision errors
