Attachment J-2. Price Proposal_Template_FCDAS OM 10.29.26.xlsx

Instructions General Formatting & Submission Requirements

Core Action: Your primary task within this template (The transition period, base & option, and risk mitigation tabs in green) is to fill in your proposed direct labor rates highlighted in green—which must be equal to or greater than the CBA-mandated minimum rates—along with your indirect rates, costs, and fee (profit). Particular attention must be paid to the fringe buildup (see detailed instructions below regarding requirements if no negotiated indirect rate or forward pricing agreement exists).

Maintain the pre-selected font types and sizes provided in the pricing template and ensure all files are unprotected and print-ready.

Build all pricing entirely with working formulas and equations within this provided spreadsheet, without pulling data or linking from outside sheets.

Labor Categories & Staffing Profile

Do not alter the Government-provided fixed staffing mix, labor hours, or labor categories across any performance periods in the transition period, base & option, and risk mitigation tabs

Proposed Rate/ CBA Premiums: Utilize the provided columns (Column C in each tab) in the template to explicitly show the full proposed hourly wage (which must be greater than or equal to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) minimum rate).mandated minimums.

CBA Errors/Interpretations: If you identify an error in the Government’s interpretation of the CBA within the pricing template, do not alter the template yourself; instead, you must submit a question for consideration during the Q&A period. If a revision is necessary to ensure equity, the Government will amend the template.

Burden & Indirect Rates Guidelines

Update the template to display the full burden by inputting proposed fringe, overhead, General and Administrative (G&A) expenses, and profit (fee). Specifically this is located at top top of each sheet for the transition period, base & option, and risk mitigation tabs in orange

Utilize any existing indirect rate agreements or approved forward pricing rate agreements (FPRAs) negotiated with your cognizant auditing agency (IAW FAR 42) to support your basis of estimate, particularly for overhead and G&A.

No Cognizant Auditor: If you do not have negotiated indirect rates with a cognizant auditor, you must use the sheets highlighted in orange to demonstrate your indirect buildup and provide financial statements to support these figures. On these orange sheets, only fill out the indirect buildup; everything else must remain strictly formula-based.

Fringe Breakout: If applying negotiated agreements to your fringe rate, you must still provide a detailed breakout isolating: (1) voluntary fringe, (2) mandatory fringe, (3) company-specific fringe, and (4) fringe required by FAR 52.222-43 and the applicable CBAs.

Fringe Reconciliation: Clearly demonstrate how all of these components tie back together. You must explicitly show the relationship to the company's negotiated corporate fringe rate—explaining whether the voluntary, mandatory, and company-specific components add up to the corporate rate, or if the CBA fringe is handled as a distinct element—and how these ultimately result in the total price to the Government.

Additional Costs, Rates, & Guidelines

The Risk Mitigation Options are covered under Section G.1. of the RFP and are for additional support as needed.

Utilize the exact plug-in numbers provided by the Government for all non-FFP items.

Input your proposed fully burdened overtime rate into Attachment 3 (Overtime Labor Hour Breakout Worksheet).

Propose pricing for the 1-month Transition Phase only if you are a non-incumbent Offeror; incumbent Offerors must leave this specific section blank.

Submit a comprehensive price narrative detailing your basis of estimates for any labor rates higher than the mandated minimumst and explicitly acknowledging the Government's assumption of cost risk for non-productive hours and the Contractor's overall low-risk posture for this requirement given the existence of the CBA's.

The Government has explicitly stipulated the productive and non-productive hours within the Price Proposal Template. Offerors must use these Government-mandated hours rather than proposing their own. Although this is an FFP acquisition, the applicable CBAs mandate the payout of non-productive hours (e.g., leave, holidays). The Government interprets these as obligated components of required wages, making them subject to equitable adjustment under FAR 52.222-43. By stipulating these non-productive hours uniformly across all offerors, the Government ensures an apples-to-apples price evaluation, eliminates the need for offerors to price in contingency risk, and establishes a precise baseline to streamline future FAR 52.222-43 adjustments.
