Attachment 1 - Schedule of Items.xlsx

This is a Schedule of Items template designed for proposing pricing on the 2026 IUFRO Agency Membership contract. The document is formatted as an Excel-based pricing schedule with sections for labor categories, supplies, and other direct costs (ODCs) across a base period and multiple option periods. Contractors are instructed to enter all proposed labor categories with loaded rates (including overhead), provide travel costs as aggregate estimates multiplying per diem and airfare by estimated trip quantities, and itemize ODCs such as installation or special equipment where applicable. The template includes columns for hours and rates across the base year and option periods, with automatic calculations for labor subtotals, ODC/Travel subtotals, period totals, and cumulative totals. Instructions specify that unused option periods should have totals deleted prior to final submission, and that all column fields must be completed for supplies with serial/product numbers (or "N/A" if none exist).
