In accordance with the Exhibit A12 "Fringe Benefit Chart", the required TCP(s) shall provide a detailed list of their fringe benefits and company estimated cost per hour, along with an itemization of the benefits that require employee contributions and the amount of that contribution as a percentage of the total cost of the benefit. Two One exhibits shall be submitted, one containing the average of fringe benefit information for all the exempt labor categories and one containing the average of fringe benefit information for all the non exempt labor categories.

Section L, Clause GSFC 52.215-230, Paragraph (a) –

Prime Offerors shall furnish the information requested below for all of your most recent contracts (completed and ongoing) for similar efforts with a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred of $16M that your company has had within the last 5 7 years of the RFP release date.

For the purposes of the Past Performance Volume, a proposed significant subcontractor is defined as any proposed subcontractor that is estimated to meet/exceed an average annual cost/fee of $9M. Note, the definition of significant subcontractor for the past performance evaluation may be different than for the cost evaluation. The Offeror shall provide the information requested below for any significant subcontractor(s) for those similar efforts within the last 5 7 years of the RFP release date with a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred of at least 25% of the estimated average annual dollar value of the proposed significant subcontract.

For example (note, these example numbers may not relate to this specific procurement), if a procurement is valued at an average annual value of $50M and a proposed significant subcontractor for the effort has a proposed average annual cost/fee of $16M, the Offeror shall provide relevant current/past contract references that have a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred at/above $4M (25% of $16M) for that significant subcontractor.

If a prime Offeror or significant subcontractor is submitting past performance data on a current/past contract vehicle that includes multiple tasks, orders, etc, all effort under that contract vehicle may be consolidated for the purposes of meeting the average annual cost/fee incurred in the instructions above and for the purpose of evaluating contract relevance for the proposed requirement.

The Offeror shall provide an estimated value and percentage of work to be performed on this contract by the Prime Offeror and each significant subcontractor. Offerors shall estimate prime contract and significant subcontract percentages and value (total core plus IDIQ value) based on an assumption that the contract will meet the Maximum Ordering Value and performance will reflect all areas of the Statement of Work. Indicate the primary functions (SOW, WBS, etc) to be performed by the Prime Offeror and each proposed significant subcontractor. Indicate which contracts are most related (i.e. similar in size and content) and how they are related to the proposed effort, as well as which contracts were performed by the division of your company (if applicable) that will perform the proposed contract/subcontract.

If applicable, Offerors may provide the experience or past performance of a parent or affiliated or predecessor company to an Offeror (including Joint Venture prime partner companies and/or a parent or affiliated company that is being otherwise proposed as a subcontractor on this effort) where the firm’s proposal demonstrates that the resources of the parent or affiliate or predecessor will affect the performance of the Offeror. The Offeror shall demonstrate that the resources of the parent or affiliate or predecessor company (its workforce, management, facilities or other resources) shall be provided or relied upon for contract performance such that the parent or affiliate or predecessor will have meaningful involvement in contract performance.

The Offeror shall provide the following information on all past/current contract references that meet the above criteria for the Prime Offeror and each significant subcontractor:

• Customer's name, E-mail address, and telephone number of both the lead contractual and technical personnel most familiar with the Offeror’s performance record. (Please verify the information provided is current and correct).

As of the latest cost report which reflected cost/fee through the first 2 years and 4 months of performance, the total amount of cost/fee incurred by the Offeror over the duration of the contract was $43,500,000.

In this example, an Offeror would provide the following:

Current Contract Expenditures incurred to Date: $43,500,000

Date in which Expenditures have been incurred through: Insert Date of cost report that indicated cost/fee total of $43,500,000 after 2 years and 4 months of performance.
