If pricing is based on labor rates, the contractor shall supply and clearly define each labor category provided in this section. All services offered should relate to the products being offered, and you must define the scope of services to be offered as they relate to the installation of the product. If pricing is based on fixed unit prices then provide a detailed breakdown of what functions to be provided are within the fixed unit price. Please provide these descriptions of services in a document titled “Description of Services” to be uploaded as an ‘Optional’ document in the eOffer system or if submitting a mod to add services, in the eMod system with your mod request. Sample descriptions are provided below:

2. Labor Category Qualifications

If offering services pricing by labor category, you will need to provide the following for each category - required experience, minimum training, level of education, and certifications/licenses, if applicable. Please provide these descriptions of services in a document titled “Labor Category Qualifications” to be uploaded as an ‘Optional’ document in the eOffer system or if submitting a mod to add services, in the eMod system with your mod request.

3. Detailed Project Summaries

If invoices are not submitted as supporting documentation for cost information, then a cost breakdown of services provided within the project must be included. Please make sure we can clearly see pricing offered for services commercially. Narrative for each project is limited to three pages. Please do not provide Statements of Work (SOWs) in lieu of the written narrative. Please provide these project summaries in a document titled “Project Summary 1” and so forth with all supporting documentation for each project uploaded in one document. Please upload these as an ‘Optional’ document in the eOffer system or if submitting a mod to add services, in the eMod system with your mod request.

NOTE – Please do not utilize the eOffer system for your project responses. eOffer project responses are based on services subject to the requirements of SCP-FSS-002 which differ from ancillary services documentation requirements. If you address the project requirements in the eOffer responses, the offer will be rejected.

4. Services Pricing:

Established commercial pricing in a published and dated catalog or price list is preferred. If the firm does not have a published and dated catalog or price list, the firm may utilize data in the form of internal business memos, quote sheets, computerized pricing, RS Means etc (See page 7 of this document if you intend to offer services pricing utilizing RS Means). Established commercial pricing based on one of these methods will be submitted in a format similar to that shown in Format 1 (Fixed Unit Price) or Format 2 (Labor Rates) and also submitted in electronic media such as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This format must be annotated in accordance with Clause 552.212-70, Preparation of Offer with a statement that this price list is a verbatim extract from (source and date) and signed by a company representative.

Established commercial pricing for services/items proposed under this procurement shall be submitted for the initial year only. Future price increases are subject to the Economic Price Adjustment Clause 552.216-70.

Incidental Products: Incidental products necessary to complete a project must be priced on the contract or offered as open market items. Offerors are encouraged to identify and price all incidental products in the services pricing proposal. On July 15, 1999, GAO ruled in the matter of the Pyxis Corporation, Decision B-282469 and B282469.2, “an agency may no longer rely on the “incidentals” test to justify the purchase of non-FSS items in connection with an FSS buy; where an agency buys non-FSS items, it must follow acquisition regulations.” In other words, when the cumulative value of incidental items on a task or delivery order exceeds the micro purchase threshold ($3,500), the items must be procured in accordance with applicable acquisition regulations. The cumulative dollar value of the incidental items is key to determining the publications and competition requirements for Federal customers. For some industries under Schedule 56, incidental items necessary to install a product may easily exceed the micro purchase threshold; therefore, it is in your best interest to include pricing for incidental items in your pricing proposal.

Awarded incidental products must be directly related to performance of the services provided. A contractor may quote reduced pricing for incidental products based on the specific task identified at the task order lever. However, a contractor may never exceed the awarded price for any product or service without a modification to the contract.

Please be aware that ordering agencies placing task orders under a Multiple Award Schedule contract may NOT be charged for any items and/or services that have not been approved and awarded under a vendor’s contract. Contracts can be modified to add or delete items as appropriate. Please refer to the contract and modification document for specifics.

IFF: Offerors are required to identify the prevailing Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) as a separate calculation in the prices submitted with the offer. The fee is not included in the net contract price, but is reflected in the total amount charged to ordering activities. The IFF must be calculated as a separate collection mechanism, i.e., Base Rate – GSA Discount = Net Rate + IFF = Total Proposed Hourly Rate. There will be no exceptions; IFF is a separate collection mechanism and must be shown clearly as an adder to the net hourly rate.

5. Commercial Sales Practices for services:

The document on page 6 should be printed out, completed, and uploaded as an ‘Optional’ document in the eOffer system or if submitting a mod to add services in the eMod system with your mod request. The sales figure in #1 should represent commercial sales of only services offered. This figure should not be gross and should not reflect commercial sales of products offered.
