About this file

This document is an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) template for a Department of Labor solicitation for Directed Medical Services for the Division of Federal Employees Compensation (DFEC). The IGCE provides a detailed pricing framework for a five-year contract with a base period and four option periods, covering medical services such as medical second opinions, examinations, impairment ratings, file reviews, and supplemental reports. The estimated contract value across all periods is $0.00 in the template, with anticipated volumes including 19,000 medical second opinion and examination services, 600 Independent Medical Examinations (IME), 3,665 schedule award/impairment ratings, and various file review categories.

The solicitation (RFP 1605C3-25-R-00007) is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services under FAR Parts 12 and 15, seeking a contractor to provide medical services for federal employee compensation program claimants across the United States and its territories. Services are intended to establish work-related medical diagnoses, assess disability, and determine permanent impairment degrees. The IGCE instructions indicate the cost estimate was prepared by reviewing GSA IT Schedule 70 vendor pricing, with a 3% annual escalation applied based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index, and prepared by John Doe, Contracting Officer's Representative from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Narrative:
I prepared this IGCE by reviewing the pricing of three vendors on GSA IT Schedule 70.
I completed my review on January 4, 2022.
I calculated the average of the vendors' hourly rates and unit prices to develop the base year pricing.
A 3% escalation was applied to each of the option periods, based on the BLS Consumer Price Index released on January 10, 2022.
