General Information

Cost Proposal
GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of the requested information in the attached worksheets is to assit Government personnel in the review and evaluation of cost proposals submitted by Offerors. Offerors are reminded that the responsibility for providing adequate supporting data and attachments lies solely with them. Further, the offeror must also bear the burden of proof in establishing reasonableness of proposed costs; therefore, it is in the offeror’s best interest to submit a fully supportable and well-prepared cost proposal. The basis and rationale for all proposed costs should be provided as part of the proposal so that Government personnel can place reliance on the information as current, complete and accurate. Further, FAR 15.403-4 sets forth those circumstances in which offerors are required to submit certified cost or pricing data.
Options: If proposing options, they must be separately priced and separate spreadsheets, worksheets or tables should be provided for each option. Any proposed options that are not fully priced out, will not be included in any resulting award.

Subcontractor

SUBCONTRACTOR COST DATA
Subcontracts/Interorganizational Transfers – A cost proposal as detailed as the Offeror’s cost proposal including support documentation will be required to be submitted by all proposed subcontractors and for all interorganizational transfers over $100,000. If opitons are proposed, the option periods should be separately priced. The subcontract or interorganizational transfer proposal, along with supporting documentation, must be provided either in a sealed envelope with the prime’s proposal or via email directly to the Program Officer or Contract Specialist upon request. The email should identify the prime Offeror, proposal title, and that the attached proposal is a subcontract. The subcontractor and interorganizational transfer proposals with supporting documentation must be received and reviewed before the Government can complete its cost analysis of the proposal and enter negotiations.
The prime contractor should perform and provide a cost/price analysis of each subcontractor’s cost proposal. Offerors are required to obtain competition to the maximum extent practicable when selecting subcontractors; if the offeror has obtained competitive quotes, copies should be provided. If the Offeror has selected other than the low bid for inclusion in their proposal or intends to award the subcontract on a sole-source basis, the offeror should provide rationale for their decision.
Certified cost or pricing data may be required for subcontractor proposals over $650,000.
*Note: Federal Acquisition Regulation provision 52.215-22 is incorporated into this solicitation by reference. The offeror is to exclude excessive pass-through charges from subcontractors. The offeror must identify in its proposal the percentage of effort it intends to perform and the percentage to be performed by each of its proposed subcontractors.
