B.3 Contract Pricing

B.3.1 Time and Materials/Labor Hour/Firm Fixed Price Rates

All task orders issued for services to be performed in the United States will be priced in accordance with the hourly rates set forth in Section B.4 Labor Category Rate Table. The labor rates in this section reflect fully-burdened rates for each labor category and will apply to all direct labor hours. The labor categories, hourly rates, and indirect administrative cost rates are detailed in Section B.4, Labor Category Rate Table.

The Fully burdened hourly rates are ceiling price rates and the Contractor may, at its discretion, elect to propose lower hourly rates for individual task orders.

(a) Labor. Section B.4 Labor Category Rate Table, represents fully-burdened hourly rates for each labor category. The fully-burdened labor rates include all direct, indirect, general and administrative costs, and profit associated with providing the required skill. The fully-burdened labor rates include all labor and labor-related costs, such as, but not limited to, the following list of representative labor-related costs: salaries, wages, bonuses to include stock bonuses, incentive awards, employee stock options, stock appreciation rights, employee stock ownership plans, employee insurance, fringe benefits, contributions to pension, other post-retirement benefits, annuity, employee incentive compensation plans, incentive pay, shift differentials (if applicable), overtime (for applicable wage determination labor categories), vacation time, sick pay, holidays, and all other allowances based upon a comprehensive employee compensation plan. If overtime is required for Wage Determination applicable labor categories at the TO level, overtime will be compensated in accordance with the Service Contract Act. The use of uncompensated overtime is not encouraged. All hourly rates are based on a 40-hour work-week (ex. 1,920 hours per year or in accordance with the Contractor’s accounting practices).

(1) Government Site Rates. When performing at Government sites within the United States, the Contractor shall provide services at or below the fully-burdened labor rates indicated in Section B.4 Labor Category Rate Table.

SECTION B

B-2

(b) Program Management (Contract-Level) Support Costs. Contract-level program management support costs shall not be billed as a direct charge to the PACS base contract or task orders. Program management support costs encompass support for contract-level management, reporting requirements (see Section F) and related travel and meeting attendance costs associated with the Contractor’s program management staff, as it relates to the overall management of the PACS program.

(c) Project Management (Task Order-Level) Support Costs. Contract-level program management support costs are differentiated from individual task order project management support costs. TO Project Management support costs may be billed as hourly labor rates against individual task orders for direct support of the effort performed under those task orders. This will result in direct billings at the task order-level for labor hours in “Project Manager” category, to specifically support program or project management for the task order.

(d) ODCs. ODCs consist of materials, subcontractor (other than labor) and task order-related travel costs. These percentages are indicated in the Section B.4 Labor Category Rate Table under the ODC rates. T&M and LH type TOs will include hours at the proposed rates herein for each skill category, plus material (ODCs) and the indirect rate burden (i.e. percentages applied to travel, materials or subcontracts). The cost of general purpose items required for the conduct of the Contractor’s normal business operations will not be considered an allowable ODC in the performance of task orders under this contract. Profit is not allowed on ODCs under a T&M or LH type task order.

B.3.1.1 Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Task Orders

For FFP task orders, the quantity of each item or labor category ordered will be multiplied against the rate negotiated at the contract level, or as negotiated for TO, and the cumulative extended total of all items ordered will define the fixed price for the TO. Travel and ODCs, if applicable, may be estimated for each TO, burdened with the indirect administrative cost rates negotiated at the contract level, or as negotiated for the TO. Any total rate negotiated for travel and ODCs will be added to the extended price of all ordered items to arrive at the fixed price for the TO. Partial payment for FFP TOs may be negotiated based on the completion of milestones.

B.3.1.2 Time and Materials (T&M) and Labor Hour (LH) Task Orders

For T&M and LH task orders, the quantity of hours ordered from each labor category will be specified as deliverable hours billable at the ceiling rates specified in Section B.4 Labor Category Rate Table or as negotiated, if lower rates are proposed for the TO. If applicable, travel and ODCs will be estimated for each TO and burdened with the indirect administrative cost rates specified in Section B.4. Profit on travel and ODCs is not allowable. The cumulative extended total of all labor categories ordered plus travel and ODCs will define the ceiling price. TOs may authorize adjustments between labor category quantities of up to 10%, within the established task order ceiling price, without a formal modification. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for costs incurred beyond the ceiling price, for hours not delivered, for hours delivered but in excess of the quantities ordered for a particular labor category or for travel and ODCs exceeding the ordered amount. Labor dollars will not be used for ODCs nor ODC dollars used to pay for labor without a contract modification.

B.4 Labor Category Rate Table

The Labor Category Rate Table represents all labor category rates for performance of the requirements as specified in individual Task Orders for performance within the United States. Fully loaded hourly rates are included for each labor category both at the Contractor site and at Government sites. These fully-loaded hourly labor rates are the ceiling rates representing the maximum rates allowable for Prime and Subcontractors. The years cited in Attachment J-3, Pricing Templates, represent contract years. Only Government-required labor categories are included in this table. Additional labor categories may be proposed after contract award, in accordance with G.8.

The Government will, before disclosure, make an administrative determination on a case-by-case basis as to whether the information requested is exempt from disclosure by one of the established exceptions to the Act. In making this determination the procedures outlined in 28 CFR, paragraph 16.7 shall be followed which, in part, affords the submitter of a Proposal an opportunity to object to disclosure.

(b) Within 30 days of contract award, the Contractor shall submit an electronic copy of its expurgated technical and cost proposals, which will be used in response to requests under the Freedom of Information Act.

H.8 OJP 2852.209-72 Organizational Conflict of Interest (MAR 2012)

(a) The policy of the OJP is to avoid contracting with Contractors who have unacceptable organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) under FAR Subpart 9.5. An OCI means that because of existing or planned activities, a Contractor is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance to the agency, or has an unfair competitive advantage, or the Contractor's objectivity is, or might be, impaired.

The following examples illustrate situations in which an OCI may arise. They are not all inclusive, but are intended to help the CO apply general guidance to individual contract situations:

(1) Unequal access to information. Access to "nonpublic information" as part of the performance of an OJP contract could provide the Contractor a competitive advantage in a later competition for another OJP contract. Such an advantage could easily be perceived as unfair by a competing vendor who is not given similar access to the relevant information.

(2) Biased ground rules. A Contractor in the course of performance of an OJP contract has in some fashion established important "ground rules" for another OJP contract, where the same Contractor may be a competitor. For example, a Contractor may have developed the requirements or drafted the Statement of Work, specifications, or evaluation criteria of a future OJP procurement.

The primary concern of the OJP in this case is that a Contractor so situated could slant key aspects of a procurement in its own favor, to the unfair disadvantage of competing vendors.

(3) Impaired objectivity. A Contractor in the course of performance of an OJP contract is placed in a situation of providing assessment and evaluation findings over itself, or another business division, or subsidiary of the same corporation, or other entity with which it has a significant financial relationship. The concern in this case is that the Contractor's ability to render impartial advice to the OJP could appear to be undermined by the Contractor's financial or other business relationship to the entity whose work product is being assessed or evaluated.

It is not the intention of the OJP to foreclose a vendor from a competitive acquisition due to a perceived OCI. The OJP Contracting Officer (CO) is fully empowered to evaluate each potential OCI scenario based upon the applicable facts and circumstances. The final determination of such action may be negotiated between the impaired vendor and the CO.
