Section 6:

What is the Contract Value:

Initial Value Current Value Estimated Cost: $___________ $____________

Fee: $___________ $____________

Total Value: $___________ $_____________

What are the total contract expenditures to date (cost/fees to date based on invoices, reports, etc)?

What is the Annual Contract Value to Date (The current contract expenditures to date divided by the number of years of performance to date)?

For example (note, these example numbers may not relate to this specific procurement):

Assume your contract is a current five year contract, is still ongoing, and the latest cost report reflects a cost/fee of $43,500,000 through the first 2 years and 4 months (to date). In this example, current/total Contract Expenditures incurred to Date are $43,500,000 and associated period of performance for those expenditures, expressed in years, is 2.33 years.

Therefore, the Average Annual Cost/Fee Incurred to Date: $18,669,528 ($43,500,000/2.33 years)

Was there a cost overrun? ( ) Yes ( ) No If yes, please explain:

If this was an award fee contract, what are the individual and/or average ratings of performance by your organization? Please attach any available award fee letters or database entries.

Please comment on particularly strong/weak points of Contractor’s performance (technical, schedule, and/or cost). If the Overall Contract Performance Rating below is less than Very High, please provide some explanation in this section on why a higher rating was not provided.
