Amendment 0002

1. Section L, provision COST/PRICE VOLUME INSTRUCTIONS, EXHIBIT 5, is revised as follows: Remove “Annual Cost” and “Annual Profit” columns from CLIN 0002.

2. Section L, provision COST/PRICE VOLUME INSTRUCTIONS, paragraph (c)(9), is revised to add a “Common Estimating Basis Narrative” to the Basis of Estimates (BOE).

Therefore provision COST/PRICE VOLUME INSTRUCTIONS, paragraph (c)(9), is replaced in its entirety with the following:

BASIS OF ESTIMATES (BOE)

The BOEs are to be submitted at the lowest WBS Level only (WBS Level 4). The Offeror shall give the Government insight into the cost estimating processes and methodologies used by the Offeror in estimating the quantities of labor hours/costs, other direct costs, etc. required for successful performance by elements of cost. Emphasis should be placed on a description of the cost estimating processes and methodologies themselves, and how these relate to the technical approach described in the proposal. The information provided under this section, along with audit information, will be used to assess the cost realism aspect of Mission Suitability Volume proposal.

At a minimum, include the following information in the BOE in the format that is most convenient, preferably the format which shall be used for the actual contract performance:

• Narrative explaining how you arrived at your estimate of labor hours, including: if your estimate was based on similar program(s), in which case, identify and provide a brief reason why the programs are similar; a standard, in which case, identify the standard and explain if it is from the industry, your company, or a product; or engineering judgment, in which case, explain the philosophies used.

• Complexity factors utilized--all factors must be identified with a detailed explanation of the basis.

• Explain in detail how your Program Management and Administrative Support are costed.

If direct, explain the estimating approach and assumptions (hours per year, percentage of direct labor hours or costs, etc.). If indirect, identify what pool each function is included.

• Use of any established cost-estimating relationships.

• How subcontracts were estimated. Please note if you have experience with the proposed subcontractor(s), if utilized. For any Significant Subcontract that has a potential estimated value in excess of the threshold stated in Section (b) instructions above, BOEs must be provided for that subcontract following the above specified format.

• An explanation of how all materials, travel, equipment, and other direct costs were estimated.

Offerors may include a section in the Basis of Estimate titled “Common Estimating Basis Narrative” to describe any common similar programs, standards, or other basis. This section shall not include any calculations which shall be included in the BOEs submitted at the lowest WBS Level (WBS Level 4).

BOEs shall be submitted by both the Prime Offeror and all Significant Subcontractors except for Significant Subcontractors under a Firm Fixed Price contract type and shall comply with the BOE page limitations set forth in the “Proposal Preparation—General Instructions” provision of this RFP.

3. Section L, provision GSFC 52.215-201 PROPOSAL PREPARATION – GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, paragraph (b)(1), is revised to 1. Add a two-page limit to the Common Estimating Basis Narrative; and 2. Add the following language, “There is no page limit to the Attachment K calculation of fully-burdened rates within the Basis of Estimate.”

Therefore provision GSFC 52.215-201 PROPOSAL PREPARATION – GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, paragraph (b)(1), is replaced in its entirety with the following:
