B-Table Implementation

Due to the nature of this requirement, it is necessary to have labor categories pre-priced for expedient execution of contract modifications. Based on historical actuals, within the period of performance it is expected that individual labor requirements will evolve based on programmatic evolutions, dozens if not hundreds of times. For instance, labor category requirements may increase or decrease in level of support requirement, may increase in performance level due to statutory and regulatory guidance, etc. These changes are impossible to predict at the time of Task Order issuance but are clearly expected IAW clauses H003 and

H005.

This section will specify the terms and procedures for the implementation of the Exhibit B – B

Table. The Government shall purchase additional hours by labor category via contract modification. These tables can be used multiple times as new requirements are needed, and the

Government may purchase any or all of the labor categories listed in the Exhibit B - B-Table, in variable quantities at any time throughout the execution periods designated in the B-Table.

IAW clause H003, in order to provide the TMAS Customer with a strategic approach to their A&AS support this additional work is considered within scope of the existing Task Order.

New In-Scope Requirements:

The contractor will perform the required level of effort (LOE), including subcontractor direct labor specifically identified in Attachment 3 – CPFF LOE Matrix. Direct rates, loaded with indirect rates, will be used to order any additional hours required during the period of performance established in the contract as will the proposed fixed fee per hour rate. The B-

Table is broken down into five (5) separate execution periods (base + 4 options periods). If additional hours are required from the contractor, the contractor’s proposed B-Table will be used to establish pricing based on the Government’s requirement. The price for any new requirements will be established by multiplying the quantity of hours required by the specific labor category established in the B-Table. Once the hours required are applied to the B-Table at the current B-Table execution rates and fixed fee per hour, the total estimated cost and fee will be increased accordingly on contract.

Performance Requirements:

The contractor may begin performance on the additional hours immediately upon the funded award of the contract modification if personnel at the required labor categories are available to work the additional hours, IAW FAR 52.232-22. Evaluation/surveillance in regards to Service

Summaries will begin 30 calendar days after receipt of modification.

De-Scopes:

The rates contained on the B-Table will be used to calculate any modifications for requirements

(hours) that are de-scoped based on USG directed requirement changes, commensurate with the

execution period in which the work should have been performed. The price for any de-scope will be calculated by multiplying the quantity of hours being de-scoped by the specific labor category established in the B-Table. Once the hours de-scoped are applied to the B-Table at the current B-

Table execution rates and fixed fee per hour, the total cost and fee will be decreased accordingly from the contract.

B-Table Updates:

The Contractors proposed B-Table rates were competitively awarded, therefore it is highly unlikely to change for the duration of the Task Order. However, the Government reserves the right to open the B-Table for negotiation solely at its own discretion. Direct labor rate increases will not be allowable and should have been considered when proposing B-Table rates. Indirect rate increases or decreases will be verified through DCAA using their approved Provisional

Billing Rates PBR, or if applicable, DCMA negotiated Forward Priced Rate Agreements. If the

Government chooses to request a proposal to update B-Table rates, it will be for the upcoming option year(s) only, not the current period. Proposals will be requested prior to the next scheduled execution period of the B-Table, proposals will be evaluated and negotiated (if necessary) and the B-Table will be modified prior to ordering any new requirements on the upcoming execution period. The contractor shall not propose any changes to the fixed fee originally proposed for the B-Table.

Fee:

The fixed fee associated with new work shall be the same fixed fee percentage that was proposed at award for all base and option years. For new in-scope requirements, the fixed fee per labor category, specified in the B-Table, will be multiplied by any new hours ordered, increasing the total fixed fee dollar value on contract. Conversely, for de-scopes, the fixed fee per labor category, specified in the B-Table, will be multiplied by the quantity of hours being de-scoped, decreasing the total fixed fee dollar value on contract.

Invoices:

Contractors shall invoice for each hour they worked per labor category during the period of performance established in the contract in accordance with Attachment 3 – CPFF LOE Matrix.

Actual direct rates, loaded with indirect rates (exclusive of fee), shall be used to invoice against the hours worked per labor category during the period of performance established in the contract. Contractors shall invoice the corresponding fixed fee per hour per labor category during the period of performance established in the contract based on the dollar value in accordance with Exhibit B – B Table.
