Att 03- LOE.pdf

This is a Level of Effort (LOE) attachment for a federal research solicitation issued by the Navy (Solicitation # N00173-26-R-0008) concerning Optoelectronics, Power Electronics and Radiation Effects Research. The document specifies the staffing requirements and hours for the contract period, which includes a base year and four option years. The labor categories identified include 11 distinct positions spanning Researchers (Bands 1-5), Scientists (Bands 1 and 3), and a Senior Scientist role. Hours remain consistent across all contract years for each position, with annual allocations ranging from 500 hours for Researcher Band 3 to 9,500 hours for multiple positions including Researcher Band 1 (first position), Researcher Band 4, both Scientist Band 3 positions, and the Senior Scientist role.

The staffing structure indicates a total estimated annual effort of approximately 69,500 hours across all labor categories. Option years mirror the base year hour allocations, suggesting a steady-state workforce throughout the contract period. This LOE document serves as the basis for pricing labor costs in the contractor's proposal and establishes the minimum staffing levels required to perform the research objectives. The document does not contain pricing terms, set-asides, award dates, or response deadlines, as it functions solely as an appendix defining resource requirements for the solicitation.
