Volume VI - Cost/Price Proposal

These instructions are to assist you in submitting other than cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed cost/price. The Offeror shall identify all ground rules and assumptions (GR&A) used in developing the pricing documentation, as well as GR&A's used in developing its proposal.

All data relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Cost/Price volume. The Offeror's pricing workbook shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel format with clear formulas as to how all cost elements add up. Each line item shall identify the applicable source (i.e. prime, division, or subcontractor).

The PCO has made a preliminary determination of "Adequate Price Competition". Therefore, a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data per FAR 15.403-4 will not be required. In the event that adequate competition does not emerge in response to the solicitation, the PCO may require a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data in accordance with FAR 15.4.

In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), information other than cost or pricing data may be required to support cost or price reasonableness. Information shall be provided in accordance with FAR15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the PCO determines that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the Offeror shall be required to submit cost or pricing data.

Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. For award purposes, evaluation will be in accordance with Section M. Under no circumstances shall this data be included elsewhere in the proposal.

The primary purpose of the cost/price proposal is to provide the Government with an understanding of how the price proposal was developed. The price evaluation criteria of completeness, reasonableness, balance, and Total Evaluated Price (TEP), as defined in Section M of this solicitation, will be assessed from the offeror's information provided in this volume. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of the Offeror's proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an Offeror's proposal. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs/prices rests with the Offeror. Company owned hardware, software, equipment, assets, etc., being used on this program shall also be identified. All information regarding cost or pricing documentation must be included only in the Cost/Price Volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

This section is to assist you in submitting data other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed cost/price.

Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note: Unreasonably high proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the Offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unacceptable proposal.
