GENERAL PRICING INFORMATION

a. The contract contains fully-loaded labor rates for various CONUS and OCONUS locations. The completed

Section B, attachment Table B-Pricing Table, at award establishes the FFP fully-loaded labor rates that will apply throughout the life of the contract for all task orders. The Government will not pay rates that are greater than the contract’s respective negotiated fully-loaded labor rates. Labor rates for Service Contract Act (SCA) labor categories will be adjusted IAW FAR 52.222-43. Labor at OCONUS locations are not covered by the Service

Contract Act guidance: www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/web/SCA_FAQ.htm

b. The fully-loaded labor rates from the IDIQ price matrix shall be used to price task orders. The Government will pay the fixed fully-loaded labor rates only for performed labor that meets the labor qualifications specified in the contract and the individual task order. Each labor position will be paid at the same fixed fully-loaded labor rate regardless of whether the individual performing the labor works (either as an employee or consultant) for the prime contractor or a subcontractor.

c. Each fully-loaded labor rate in the IDIQ price matrix consists of an unloaded labor rate, fringe benefits (if not included in applicable indirect costs), applicable indirect costs, applicable other direct costs, and profit amount.

Cost elements included in the fully-loaded labor rates shall not be charged separately as a material or other direct cost at the task order level.

d. The contract’s fully-loaded labor rates apply only to the labor categories specified in the IDIQ price matrix located in Section B, attachment Table B-Pricing Table. Identify each labor category, to include subcontracted personnel, as exempt or non-exempt. Labor category titles must be conformed to the SCA Directory of Occupations

5th Edition, where applicable. No additional labor categories will be proposed or negotiated at the task order level.

e. Fully-loaded labor rates for program management positions shall be included in the IDIQ price matrix located in

Section B, attachment Table B-Pricing Table. Include program management positions in the CONUS rate schedule only.

f. Pricing table for CONUS locations will serve as the baseline for negotiations for adding sites that were not included in the price matrix at contract award.

g. Base period of task orders crossing IDIQ ordering period option years shall be priced using rates for ordering period in effect when task order was issued. Task order options shall be priced using the subsequent ordering period option years.

h. CONUS schedule rates shall be used for pricing CONUS personnel supporting deployed task orders. At a minimum, program management, CONUS training and predeployment activities shall utilize the CONUS schedule rates when supporting deployed task orders.

B-4

OVERSEAS ALLOWANCES FOR OCONUS LOCATIONS

a. Overseas allowance are cost reimbursable at the task order level provided the contractor uses the rates established by the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR). Overseas allowances’ costs based on the DSSR rates shall not be included in the negotiated fully-loaded labor rates and are exclusive of fee. Application of overseas allowances are in accordance with Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) - see following website for proper application: http://aoprals.state.gov/Web920/location.asp?menu_id=95

b. If paying overseas allowances (e.g., Danger Pay and Post Hardship Differential Pay) in accordance with DSSR is part of the Contractor’s established compensation plan or policy or employer/employee agreement, and if such payment is otherwise consistent with FAR Part 31, the Contractor may be paid for or recover such costs, but only if such payment/recovery is:

1. at percentages that do not exceed the percentages (effective at the time of performance) listed in the

Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) (if the Contractor applies percentages to calculate its overseas allowances); and

2. at dollar amounts that do not exceed the dollar amounts paid to eligible United States Government civilians after multiplying the DSSR percentages (effective at the time of performance) by the eligible individual’s basic compensation (if the Contractor pays overseas allowances based on a fixed dollar amount); and

3. based on the number of actual hours worked rather than based on compensation (if the Contractor’s established compensation plan or policy or employer/employee agreement is based on the number of actual hours worked).

c. Overseas Allowances based on DSSR will be adjusted the first full month following the posted rate change.

d. Deployment rates are in effect only while personnel are in country ("boots on ground").

They will be counted if they contain any other information, e.g., diagrams, extraneous data, etc. Pages marked “This page intentionally left blank” will not be counted.

L-6 EXCEPTIONS. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions; therefore, offerors are advised that taking exception to any requirements specified in this solicitation may result in the Government finding the proposal unacceptable. Clarification of Government requirements shall be handled by submitting questions/recommendations prior to submission of proposals. If offerors still find it necessary to take exception to any of the requirements specified in this solicitation (Sections A through M, to include the PWS and attachments), clearly identify each exception in the overview section of the appropriate volume along with a complete explanation of why the exception was taken and the resulting benefit to the Government. Exception to solicitation requirements may require the Government to amend the solicitation to reflect a changed requirement. The Government will consider the absence of a stated exception to mean the offeror takes no exception to the solicitation and the proposal will be evaluated as submitted.

L-7 INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOLUME I, TECHNICAL (FACTOR 1)

L-7.1 To facilitate evaluation, the Technical Volume shall be specific, detailed, and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that offerors have a thorough understanding of RPA requirements. Statements that offerors understand, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced AF publications, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable AF publications, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered “Unacceptable”. Offerors should note that data submitted prior to the proposal submission will not be considered in the Government’s evaluation;

therefore, such data should not be relied upon or incorporated in the Technical proposal by reference.

L-7.2 Cross-Reference Matrix (Attachment 4). As part of offerors’ proposals, a separate cross-reference matrix shall be completed and submitted with Volume I - Technical. See Attachment 4 for the format. All referenced paragraphs include all subsequent subparagraphs (for example, 5.0 includes 5.1, 5.2, 5.2.1, etc.).
