L-37 identify the productive hours assumptions utilized in pricing their Cost/Price Proposals.

For example, a WYE based on 2,080 total hours and who receives 101 holidays (808 hours), 2.5 weeks of vacation (100 hours), and 5 sick days (40 hours), would be shown as a productive WYE of 1,860 hours (2,080 total hours minus 80 hours for holidays minus 100 hours for vacation time minus 40 hours for sick days).

(c) Pricing Methodology

For purposes of this solicitation, Offerors shall be required to provide their estimate of the required level of resources necessary to perform the SOW as discussed in the following paragraph:

1. Pricing for Baseline A and Baseline B Effort

Offerors are required to provide their estimate of the required resources – level of WYEs, appropriate skill mix, and amount of Non-Labor Resources (NLRs) – necessary to accomplish their unique technical approach to performing the SOW portion identified as Baseline A and Baseline B (i.e., WBSs 1.0, 2.0). A Government Resource Estimate (GRE) for WYEs and NLRs are provided in Attachment L-034, IDIQ Baseline EPM Template.

The GRE is the Government’s estimate of both the labor and non-labor resources required to perform this effort, without incorporation of any one Offeror’s specific management or technical approach. The GRE is based on historical usage factors and/or the Government’s estimated requirements for the core work and is not considered to be a Government “plug number.” The GRE is provided for Offerors to scope and develop their management and technical approaches, as well as, for development of indirect rates. The GRE provided is not intended to influence the Offeror’s proposal estimates; however, it is provided to assist Offerors in determining the general overall magnitude of effort. Offerors shall develop their own resource estimates that support their unique management and technical approaches and shall provide supporting rationale in narrative form even if the Offeror uses the GRE as the basis for their proposal.

The proposed labor and NLRs are for the Prime Offeror’s entire team (e.g., the Prime and all subcontractors) and shall be identified and described in Volume I, Technical Acceptability, Basis of Estimate (BOE) paragraph, from a management and technical point of view per the level of detail specified on the Baseline EPM Template TRT contained in Section L, Attachment L-03. Subsequently, in Volume III, Cost/Price Proposal, the Offeror’s proposed Baseline WYEs and NLRs for the entire team must be provided in the TRT and summarized in the TRST templates located in the “Baseline EPM Template-.xlsx” template.

The GRE WYE estimates include all direct labor to perform the work with the exception of traditional G&A type personnel such as: sales, finance, legal, procurement, and executives.

The GRE NLR estimates include all NLR with the exception of G&A.

2. Pricing for FFP Specified Resources (SR) [IDIQ Only]

Offerors are required to develop a contractor team composite FBR per SLC, per contract year, and then apply those rates to the respective hours provided in Table 20.6-1. This pricing approach is facilitated

The goal of the EPM automated workbook is to provide a comprehensive working model of the Offeror’s proposed cost volume in an automated format. The pricing model will be designed to facilitate changes to source data such as direct labor hours and/or rates, overhead and G&A rates etc.

and be sophisticated enough to compute the total impact of various changes to both cost and price. It is important that your model facilitate this process to ensure fidelity and is error free. For example;

the model must be able to compute the cost and price impact of:

• Increasing (or decreasing) the number of WYEs of any SLC.

• Increasing (or decreasing) the indirect rates.

b. Formulas

All formulas used in the workbook must be clearly visible in the individual cells and verifiable.

Formulas in EPM templates may be modified to accommodate offerors’ technical solution. Whereas linking among the spreadsheets within the workbook may be necessary; the use of external links (source data not provided to NASA) of any kind is prohibited. The workbook must contain no macros or hidden cells.

c. Locks

The EPM and all its associated workbooks shall not be locked/protected or secured by passwords.
