PRICING/ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

B-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT

This is a single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for non-commercial services.

Contract types for the individual task orders will be fixed-price for MQ-1/MQ-9, RQ-4, & Surge Requirements and fixed-price level of effort for LRE, based on the IDIQ price matrix located in Attachment 3 – Manpower, Labor Rates, and Pricing Tables; task orders may contain cost reimbursable CLINs. All task order requirements will be based on the PWS and Appendices located in RFP/Contract Section J. The Contracting Officer is the only individual authorized to issue task orders under this contract.

B-2 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM QUANTITIES

Min/Max Contract Value - The minimum contract value for this IDIQ contract shall not be less than $5,000,000.00 (inclusive of all direct costs, indirect costs, and profit/fee). The maximum contract value for the entire RPA Program shall not exceed $961,000,000.00.

B-3 GENERAL PRICING INFORMATION

a. The contract contains fully-loaded labor rates for various CONUS and OCONUS locations. The completed Attachment 3 – Manpower, Labor Rates, and Pricing Tables, establishes at award 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 categories whose rates are subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) will be adjusted IAW FAR 52.222-43. Labor at foreign OCONUS locations are not subject to SCLS and rates for those locations will not be subject to any adjustment. See the following website for guidance regarding the SCLS (previously known as the Service Contract Act or SCA):

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/categories specified in the contract and the individual task order. Each labor category 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. Note the IDIQ price matrix will contain rates for separate 1-year ordering periods starting 1 May and ending 30 April the following year. Task order option periods will start on 1 May or the date of task order award and end 30 April the following year. 1 Mar 18.

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 Attachment 3 – Manpower, Labor Rates, and Pricing Tables. 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 Attachment 3 – Manpower, Labor Rates, and Pricing Tables. 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 CONUS sites that were not included in the price matrix at contract award.

g. Base period of task orders shall be priced using the labor rates applicable to the IDIQ ordering period pricing in effect when task order was issued. Task order options shall be priced using the rates for subsequent ordering periods.

h. CONUS pre-priced labor 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 for foreign OCONUS locations 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").

e. Overseas allowances for non-foreign OCONUS locations, such as Guam, are not established by the DSSR. Any allowances proposed by the contractor will be evaluated as Firm Fixed Price Other Direct Costs (FFP ODCs) under the FFP Labor CLINs. These final negotiated allowances are not subject to further adjustment.

B-5 TRAVEL COSTS

a. Travel under this contract is generally defined as Contractor air, Contractor lodging, Contractor meals and incidentals, and Contractor ground transportation. OCONUS travel to and from the deployed sites is cost reimbursable. Government directed travel is cost reimbursable. All other travel costs shall be included as part of the firm fixed price.

b. Except as otherwise provided herein, reimbursable travel (defined as government directed travel or international travel costs in support of MQ-1/MQ-9 deployed and RQ-4 OCONUS locations) are cost reimbursable, exclusive of fee, at the task order level provided the actual incurred travel costs are allowable, allocable, and reasonable in accordance with FAR 31.205-46. All other travel costs shall be included as part of the firm fixed price.

c. Travel must be directly related to and be required for performance of the task order. In no event shall costs associated with employees commuting be considered an allowable cost.

d. The Contractor shall include, by the following cost elements, a breakdown of all authorized travel costs in each applicable invoice: Traveler Name, Dates of Travel, Origin, Destination, CLIN, Labor Position, Airfare, Lodging, Meals and Incidental Expenses, Ground Transportation, Parking, and Tolls.

e. Reimbursable travel costs are authorized only for travel beyond a 100-mile radius of the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) whenever a task order requires work to be accomplished at a remote work site. No travel costs (or associated labor time during travel) shall be charged for work performed at a Contractor’s local office or any other work site within a 100-mile radius of the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station).

f. Costs when using a privately owned vehicle for reimbursable travel are allowable provided that such costs do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, airplane, train). Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable. When traveling in a privately owned vehicle (POV), the Contractor shall be reimbursed mileage costs at a rate that does not exceed the POV mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service. The Contractor shall submit, as an attachment to its invoice, evidence to support the reasonableness of privately owned vehicle costs.

g. Costs for car rentals for reimbursable travel are allowable provided that: such rentals are consistent with good business practice; such costs do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, airplane, train); and such costs do not exceed the actual cost of renting a compact automobile (maximum of one automobile for two Contractor personnel), unless extenuating circumstances (e.g., excess baggage) require other arrangements and subsequent Contracting Officer approval is obtained. Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable.

h. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all personnel who will be required to travel outside the United States have a current and valid passport. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any visas required for travel to foreign countries under this contract. Costs to obtain passports and visas are cost-reimbursable.

i. Pursuant to FAR Clause 52.247-63, the Contractor is required to use a U.S.-flag air carrier service unless specific conditions exist. If such conditions exist, the Contractor shall submit with its voucher a memorandum explaining why it did not use a U.S.-flag air carrier service. Reimbursement is contingent upon Government acceptance of such explanation.

B-6 ATTACHMENT 3 – MANPOWER, LABOR RATES, AND PRICING TABLES

a. The labor rates in the IDIQ price matrix located in Attachment 3 – Manpower, Labor Rates, and Pricing Tables will be used throughout the life of this contract for all task orders issued. The labor categories and cost elements for CONUS locations entered in Attachment 3 – Manpower, Labor Rates, and Pricing Tables will also serve as the baseline for negotiations for adding locations that were not included in the price matrix at contract award.

b. The contractor shall provide their cost reimbursable indirect rates applied to CLINs for Miscellaneous Services, Miscellaneous Supplies, OCONUS Travel, and Overseas Allowances reimbursements with task order pricing.

Offeror shall provide evidence of indirect rates and factors used in the price schedule have been submitted to, audited, or approved by DCAA/DCMA.
