Attachment 4 - Price Proposal Spreadsheet.xlsx

This is a Price Proposal Spreadsheet for aerial release and air transportation services supporting New World Screwworm (NWS) eradication efforts. Contractors must propose pricing across five contract years for three main service categories: dispersal hourly flight rates, pupae transportation hourly rates, and fuel and airport charges on a time-and-materials basis with a not-to-exceed amount. The dispersal flight rate must cover scheduled maintenance, data plans, pilots, co-pilots, personnel and equipment transportation, certifications, insurance, licenses, permits, and general administrative expenses for sterile screwworm aerial release operations. The pupae transportation hourly rate covers similar overhead costs for transporting pupae from production facilities in Pacora, Panama to the dispersal base in Edinburg, Texas. A one-time mobilization fee is required for Year 1 operations in Edinburg, Texas, with an optional mobilization fee for Arizona operations that may be exercised anytime during the contract period.

Contractors must also propose their maximum available capacity in flight hours for both dispersal and transportation services, as the government estimates will use contractor-proposed maximum hours to potentially distribute work among multiple awardees under this hybrid time-and-materials and fixed-price IDIQ contract. Government estimated quantities range from 24,336 dispersal flight hours and 7,600 transportation hours in Year 1, increasing to 65,520 dispersal hours and 13,104 transportation hours by Year 3 and remaining constant through Year 5. The pricing schedule includes production capability growth estimates, ranging from 100 million sterile flies currently available to 500 million by December 2028. Fuel costs are calculated based on a standard 100-gallon-per-hour burn rate, with the actual not-to-exceed amount to be determined prior to contract award.
