Section B – Products or Services and Prices/Costs

B.1.

CONSIDERATION

The Contractor shall provide the commercial health care services described in Section C, Description/ Specifications/Performance Work Statement (PWS).

B.2. CONTRACT PRICING SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 The Indian Health Service (IHS) is planning to issue Time and Material (T&M) Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles as a result of this solicitation and “fair opportunity” will be provided for subsequent task orders. The requirement is being solicited under a full and open competition, with the Agency’s intent to execute the Small Business Reserve in accordance with FAR 19.501 (a)(2). You are invited to submit a written proposal utilizing the below Schedule of Prices for the services specified in Section C, under Request for Proposal (RFP) 75H70421R00003.

Offerors are to provide the company’s Most Favored Customer (MFC) ceiling pricing for the labor categories listed in the Schedule of Prices below. The Places of Performance (PoP) subject to the resulting IDIQ contracts include the diverse geographic locations covering a mix of rural and metropolitan areas in various parts of the country and several different time zones. See Attachment 1 - IHS Areas and Healthcare Facilities, for detailed PoP information. Offeror’s MFC ceiling labor rates must be provide for each of the IHS PoP Area and labor rates for the task orders shall not exceed the proposed labor rates of the IDIQ contract. Level of contractor qualifications to be requested for some of the labor categories among task order RFQs will vary – e.g., some RFQs will require a Contact tracing Supervisor with Bachelor’s degrees while other RFQs will prefer the candidates with Master’s Degree in Public Health – therefore, the CO recommends the MFC ceiling rate to consider the PoP of each Area and a potential candidate with highest level of qualification based on the criteria provided in the PWS. Contractor is strongly encouraged to provide discounts from its IDIQ contract pricing when quoting for the task orders in consideration of the requested qualification and competition.

It is the Agency’s intent to honor the hazard pay to contractor employees assigned to the applicable locations/facilities. Unless otherwise determined necessary and authorized by the Task Order Contracting Officer, the contractor employees will be reimbursed with the hazard pay that is equivalent to the amount designated for the local Federal employees. All hazard pay, after deducting applicable taxes, shall be made to the contractor employee in its entirety.

Table A. Schedule of Prices

The minimum and maximum ordering limits of the IDIQ contract award with each awardee, are $25,000, and $20,000,000, respectively.

Base Period: 12 Months Period CLINs 0001-0188 and 0189 represent Time (Labor Hours) and Materials (Per Diem and Hazard Pay) portions of this Time & Materials IDIQ Contract, respectively. Option Years’ CLINs are structured in same manner.
