Previous versions of Adobe Acrobat will not properly convert the PDF file to the Excel format.)

To convert the exhibits using Adobe Acrobat DC use the following steps:

Open the Price Volume exhibit .PDF file in Adobe Acrobat DC.

Click on the Export PDF tool in the right pane.

Choose spreadsheet as your export format, and then select Microsoft Excel Workbook.

Under the “Save As XLSX Settings” window, ensure that following selections are made:

Under Excel Workbook Settings ensure “Create Worksheet for each Page” is selected.

Under Text Recognition Settings ensure “Recognize text if needed” is selected.

Ensure “English” is the selected language.

Click “OK” Click Export.

Name the Excel file and save it in a desired location.

All pricing and estimating techniques shall be clearly explained in detail (projections, rates, ratios, percentages, factors, etc.) and shall support the proposed pricing in such a manner that audit, computation, and verification can be accomplished. All past actuals shall show the periods of time and costs in detail when used as a basis for estimating the proposed pricing.

(b) Price Volume Proposal Format

(1) PRIME OFFEROR PRICE PER MINUTE AND CAPABILITY VALIDATION

REPRESENTATIVE TASK ORDER (RTO) FIRM FIXED PRICE

Offerors may propose on one or more of the subcategories listed in the statement of work. Prime offerors shall complete Exhibit B “Near Space Network Services Pricing Model.” This exhibit shall contain the Prime Offeror’s total firm fixed price for each proposed Capability Validation Representative Task Order (RTO) (corresponding to the applicable proposed subcategory) and the proposed Operational Services price per minute rate for each proposed subcategory by Contract Year. The proposed fully-loaded (loaded through profit, including any proposed subcontractor(s)) price per minute rates that are proposed in Exhibit B are “Not-To-Exceed" (NTE) bid rates for each Operational Services sub-category being proposed; these NTE bid rates must match the NTE bid rates in Attachment B, IDIQ FIXED PRICE RATES MATRIX (Operational Services). The Offeror shall clearly delineate the Offeror’s proposed nominal and critical fully-loaded rates.

The Offeror shall submit the completed Exhibit B with its proposal.

Upon award of this contract, NASA/GSFC intends to award the Capability Validation Representative Task Order consistent with the successful Offeror’s proposed task plan. An Offeror will not be considered for award, if the Offeror proposes an amount greater than the stated validation RTO Not-To-Exceed amount.

In compliance with the solicitation, the proposal will be rejected if the Offeror proposes a total Capability Validation firm fixed price that exceeds the RTO 2 Capability Validation Not-To-Exceed amount specified in Enclosure BB.2. Further, for RTO 2 the aggregate total of the subtask prices shall be equal to the Offeror’s proposed total Capability Validation firm fixed price.”
