47QFPA22R0009 RFP Exhibit A - INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS
General Instructions:
1Insert Offeror Name
2Fill out all applicable yellow highlighted cells on all tabs of this Excel workbook.
3Include all applicable prices and costs for the IDIQ contract on the Price Input Tab, including both prime and suboffer (subcontract) amounts. Task order pricing shall go on the subsequent task order tabs of the workbook.
4Ensure all formulas are functional and intact on the proposal submission.
Price Input Tab Instructions:
1Column C - If offeror nomenclature differs from Government provided labor category name, add offeror's equivalent or alternative name for each Government provided labor category. Otherwise, leave blank.
2Column D - Indicate if information in this row will be for the prime contractor or a subcontractor. Provide subcontractor name if applicable.
3Columns F, J, N, R, V - Enter a fully burdened labor rate for each labor category. If proposing subcontractor labor, a separate fully burdened labor rate may be proposed that differs from the rate proposed for prime contractor labor. Provide labor rates that are fair, reasonable, and realistic for the work to be accomplished in the PWS.
4If proposing to add indirect burdens to the Government's other direct cost or travel estimate for the IDIQ contract, provide a description of the burden type, applicable rate, and amount for each type of indirect burden in the price narrative, not in this spreadsheet.
5Enter any escalation rate used or applied to develop option year labor rates in row 54.
6Do not edit Column B labor categories, labor hours per labor category, total labor hours per year, or other direct cost amounts. These are provided for proposal consistency purposes and to help develop realistic maximum IDIQ contract amounts.
Subcontracts Tab Instructions:
1If applicable, provide detail related to subcontract pricing amounts for the IDIQ contract on the Subcontracts tab. If proposing no subcontracts, leave blank.
2Include only subcontract prices and costs that are also included on the Price Input Tab. (See General Instructions #3 Above)
3Small business subcontract amounts shall support information proposed in the Small Business Participation Information Sheet and Small Business Subcontracting Plan (if large business concern)
Contract Price Summary Tab Instructions:
1Table should fill in automatically if all data is inserted properly in the price input tab. Ensure formulas are correct and the chart accurately fills in all blanks and accurately reflects proposed prices.
Task Order 0001 and Sample Task Order A Price Tab Instructions
1Fill in applicable direct labor hours and fully burdened hourly labor rates for each labor category proposed for the task order. If a labor category is not used, leave rate and hour information blank.
2Fill in any applicable other direct costs and direct travel cost information, as well as any proposed indirect cost burdens. If proposing indirect costs, provide the name of the indirect burden, the indirect rate (%) used. No fee or profit is allowed on ODC or travel.
3Ensure totals for Labor hours, labor price, other direct costs, and overall total price are accurate.
Task Order 0001 and Sample Task Order A and B Backup Tab Instructions
1If ODC is proposed, include a description of each other direct cost item proposed for the task order with any applicable quantities and unit price amounts, and a total price for ODC.
2If travel costs are proposed, include a summary of any proposed travel costs to include identification of number of travelers, destination, duration, and price for airfare, car rental, subtotal cost for each trip, and total travel cost for the task order.
3If no ODC or travel is proposed, leave blank.
