Amendment 1 - Pricing template AMEND.xlsx

This is a pricing template for a Request for Quote (RFQ 7571PSQ00021) for 2 Senior Advisors providing subject matter expert (SME) services to support the NIH Blueprint Neurotherapeutic Network's External Oversight Committee. The template requires contractors to submit fully burdened labor rates on a fixed-price-per-hour basis for 50 hours across a base period and two option periods, with all pricing structured identically across the three contract periods. Other Direct Costs (ODCs) for travel are pre-populated at $2,000 per period ($6,000 total), and contractors may propose additional personnel and ODCs with supporting price narratives explaining necessity.

Respondents must comply with HHS salary rate limitations and ensure all fully burdened labor rates incorporate wages, fringe benefits, overhead, G&A expenses, and profit. The template permits contractors to add rows for additional proposed personnel or ODCs beyond the travel costs shown, provided they submit separate price narratives documenting the rationale and any pricing assumptions not addressed in the template. This pricing attachment is part of Amendment 1 to the solicitation for small business concerns seeking highly experienced executive-level advisors with drug discovery and development expertise in chemistry and/or pharmacology.
