At its discretion, the Government may award additional Term hours to complete the effort. The contractor is not authorized to incur effort in excess of the specified Term hours and total cost. Any costs incurred for excess effort are unallowable.

H.1.1.2 Completion scope describes a WD with a definite goal or target and specifies an end product, regardless of the number of hours ordered or performed. In the event the contractor cannot complete the scope within the estimated cost, the Government may require more effort without increase in fixed fee, provided that the Government increases the estimated cost.

H.1.1.3 WDs will be awarded IAW Section B of this contract, which will establish the estimated labor cost and fixed fee for each WD. Labor rates will be based on the OP in which the labor is added to the WD (see Section B.3).

H.1.2 Prior to issuance of a WD, the contractor will review a draft WD provided by the Contracting Officer and shall deliver a BOE estimating the ODC/Travel commensurate with the WD within 10 business days of receipt of the draft WD. If a BOE is not provided to the Contracting Officer within 10 business days, the Contracting Officer will estimate the ODC/Travel costs utilizing relevant data (i.e. GSA rates, State Department Allowances, etc.)

and unilaterally award the WD. Pricing for each WD will be determined using a Government technical review of the contractor’s proposed BOE for ODC/Travel and resultant negotiations, if applicable. All ODC/Travel proposed shall consist of:

The Government has the unilateral right to increase, decrease and prioritize the work to be performed hereunder by the issuance of awarded WDs. It is understood and agreed that such adjustments shall be made within the general scope of the contract.

H.2 Labor Categories

H.2.1 Upon contract award, the labor rates found in the Government Format Pricing Model (GFPM) on the Composite Labor Rates tab will be incorporated into the contract as an Attachment. These rates will be utilized to calculate the estimated labor cost for all WDs, and the fixed fee dollars per hour will be utilized to calculate the total estimated fixed fee.

H.2.2 Ceiling Rates. Upon contract award, the Prime and Subcontractor ceiling rates found in the GFPM on the Prime Ceiling Rates and Subcontractor Ceiling Rates tabs will be incorporated into the contract as an Attachment. These ceiling rates are equal to the Offerors proposed fully burdened labor rates (less fee) plus xx% for CONUS labor categories or xx% for OCONUS labor categories, for each applicable period of performance. At no time during contract performance shall the contractor invoice the Government at a rate which exceeds these ceiling rates, applicable to the period during which the performance was rendered, regardless of the actual cost incurred.

H.2.2.1 Ceiling rates may be waived at the Contracting Officers discretion on individual WDs containing OCONUS locations with uplifts exceeding xx%.
