IV.C. 3. Full Proposal Format

Volume II, Cost Proposal

C. Supporting cost and pricing information in sufficient detail to substantiate the summary cost estimates in B. above. The proposer shall provide a detailed description of the methods used to estimate costs, to include, at a minimum:

1) substantiation of all rates and factors, and 2) labor and material estimates supported by a narrative basis-of-estimate (BOE) providing sufficient detail to substantiate cost estimates.

THE PRIME CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPILING AND

PROVIDING, AS PART OF ITS PROPOSAL SUBMISSION TO THE

GOVERNMENT, SUBCONTRACTOR PROPOSALS PREPARED AT THE SAME

LEVEL OF DETAIL AS THAT REQUIRED OF THE PRIME.

IF SEEKING A PROCUREMENT CONTRACT, THE PRIME CONTRACTOR

SHALL PROVIDE A COST REASONABLENESS ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED

SUBCONTRACTOR PRICES AS DEFINED IN FAR SUBPART 15.404-3. Such analysis shall indicate the extent to which the prime contractor has negotiated subcontract prices. All proprietary subcontractor proposal documentation, prepared at the same level of detail as that required of the prime shall be provided to the Government either by the prime contractor or by the subcontractor organization when the proposal is submitted.

Subcontractor proposals submitted to the Government by the prime contractor should be submitted in a sealed envelope that the prime contractor will not be allowed to view. The subcontractor must provide the same number of hard copies and/or electronic proposals as is required of the prime contractor. This does not relieve the proposer from the requirement to include, as part of their submission, subcontract proposals that do not include proprietary pricing information (rates, factors, etc.).

If seeking a procurement contract and items of Contractor Acquired Property are proposed, exclusive of material, the proposer shall clearly demonstrate that the inclusion of such items as Government Property is in keeping with the requirements of FAR Part 45.102.

NOTE: “cost or pricing data” as defined in FAR Subpart 15.4 shall be required if the proposer is seeking a procurement contract award of $700,000 or greater unless the proposer requests an exception from the requirement to submit cost or pricing data. “Cost or pricing data” are not required if the proposer proposes an award instrument other than a procurement contract (e.g., a grant, cooperative agreement, or other transaction.) Those proposing a grant or cooperative agreement may follow/use the application instructions/form templates (i.e., DARPA BAA Form Package) provided as part of the BAA posting to grants.gov; however, the costing details requested above should be provided to the maximum extent possible.

IV.C. E. Funding Restrictions

Not Applicable.
