About this file

This document appears to be the mandatory language for Section G of a cost reimbursable term contract or task order. It details the requirements for invoicing rates that deviate from proposed rates, and the potential impacts on contractor performance assessments through the Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Specifically, it states that a cost overrun of greater than 10% not due to government direction or changes to the Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) may trigger a Show Cause or Termination for Default. Cost overruns between 5-10% may result in a Marginal CPARS rating, while overruns greater than 10% may result in an Unsatisfactory CPARS rating for the cost element.

The related federal contract opportunity is a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Army Accessions Information Environment (AIE) being released by the Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground on behalf of the Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems. The AIE requirement is grouped into six functional areas, with a 10-year ceiling value of $267M. The procurement will utilize a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity hybrid contract structure with cost reimbursable and potentially firm-fixed price line items. The set-aside status is to be determined. The draft RFP is for industry feedback purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. Responses are requested by May 17, 2024, though no award will result from this process.

MANDATORY LANGUAGE FOR COST REIMBURSABLE TERM CONTRACTS

The below language shall go in Section G, or a similar narrative section within all Cost Reimbursable Term contracts or task orders awarded on or after 1 October 2023, or those issued earlier than 1 October 2023 with performance beyond 30 September 2024.

G.x INVOICING FOR RATES THAT DEVIATE FROM PROPOSED RATES:

G.x.1 Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System- CPARS

G.x.1.1 If in any performance period, the Contractor is projecting a cost overrun in excess of 10% of the proposed estimated cost for that period, which is determined to not be a result of Government direction and not attributable to Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) changes, the projected cost overrun may trigger a Show Cause or Termination for Default subject to the Contracting Officers discretion. Note: Contractors proposing at current FPRA rates and invoicing at current Provisional Billing rates will not trigger a Show Cause or termination for Default.

G.x.1.2 If in performance of the Task Order (TO), the Contractor incurs a cost overrun of greater than 5% and less than 10% during that CPARS evaluation period, which is determined not to be a result of Government direction or Contractor Provisional Billing rates, the Contractor shall receive a Marginal rating for that periods CPARS cost element.

G.x.1.3 If in performance of the TO, the Contractor incurs a cost overrun greater than 10% during that CPARS evaluation period, which is determined not to be a result of Government direction or Contractor Provisional Billing rates, the Contractor shall receive an Unsatisfactory rating for that periods CPARS cost element.

G.x.1.4 In regards to cost overruns and estimated costs mentioned in paragraphs G.x.1.1 through G.x.1.3, the Government will be comparing actual cost of work performed to estimated cost at the end of each contract period. Contractors are cautioned that costs should be directly proportional to hours expended, and if in excess, may be considered a cost overrun by the Government.
