# Section/Paragraph Reference Question Government Response 1 Attachment C: Pricing Workbook

Regarding the Reimbursable Fees sections (items 4009 to 4012), does the Agency want contactors to leave these reimbursable sections blank for pricing purposes, as we don’t have the actual estimated number of patents and which patents to calculate the reimbursable fees? If so, the proposed grand total will not include the reimbursable fees for price evaluation purposes? If you would like us to include a nominal number for the reimbursable fees for price evaluation purposes, please let us know.

For price evaluation purposes regarding Patent Office Fees (item 4009): Offerors should provide an estimate of the cost to prosecute 30 patent applications from filing to issuance, per ordering period (separate from any labor costs proposed in the Labor section, and with the supporting detail provided in the Pricing Volume).

For price evaluation purposes regarding Patent Annuities and Maintenance Fees (item 4010): Offerors should provide an estimate for 125 annuities and maintenance fees per ordering period (separate from any labor costs proposed in the Labor section, and with the supporting detail provided in the Pricing Volume).

For price evaluation purposes regarding Document Transmission Expense (item 4011): Offerors should provide an estimate for 30 office actions per ordering period (separate from any labor costs proposed in the Labor section, and with the supporting detail provided in the Pricing Volume).

For price evaluation purposes regarding Foreign Associates Fees (item 4012): Offerors should provide an estimate for 12 office actions per ordering period (separate from any labor costs proposed in the Labor section, and with the supporting detail provided in the Pricing Volume).

All of the above items must be priced invidually and then wrapped into the Reimbursable Fees Totals on Lines 13, 32, 51, 70 and 89 of the Pricing Workbook.
