Attachment 1 - Pricing Worksheet.xlsx

This is a Pricing Worksheet that establishes fully burdened hourly labor rates for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supporting the Technology Test and Evaluation Division (TTED) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The worksheet provides a template for offerors to input labor category rates across a five-year performance period, with Year 1 beginning on September 30, 2026, and Year 5 ending on September 29, 2031. The pricing structure covers multiple labor categories including Program Manager, Project Manager, Research Manager, Assessors (Levels I and II), User Experience Researcher, Usability Test Moderator, Focus Group Moderator, Developers (Senior and standard levels), QA Engineer, Software Engineer, Computer Science/Electrical Engineer, and Senior Writer.

The worksheet includes two mock task order pricing examples to demonstrate how offerors should complete their quotations. Mock Task Order 1 addresses Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) activities with tasks for Training and Decision Assessment, while Mock Task Order 2 covers an "AI Privacy Guardian in Digital Identity Wallet" study with tasks including sampling strategy development, participant recruitment, virtual study session facilitation, participant compensation, data delivery, and monthly reporting. Both mock task orders calculate firm fixed prices based on level of effort multiplied by fully loaded hourly rates, with provision for Other Direct Costs (ODCs) where applicable. This is a template document designed to standardize pricing submissions for what the government indicated is a 100% small business set-aside IDIQ with a maximum cumulative value of $7,400,000 for Technology Evaluations Support Services.
