If a specific DMSMS or E&TS RFP requires contractor support that does not fall into the contract labor categories specified in the IDIQ RFP (either because of position and/or qualifications), is the Contractor able to include additional labor categories / rates to proposed future DMSMS or E&TS Task Orders?

If not, is it the Government’s intent that only personnel who fit within the required qualifications (i.e., no personnel with less than the required minimum level of experience detailed in the TEP Duties/Responsibilities) will support the program?

The Government identified those labor categories most likely to be utilized on this effort. Offerors are not to propose any additional labor categories in the proposal.

The Government expects these labor categories to cover a majority of the work completed.

However, if there is a specific DMSMS or E&TS requirement that does not fall into the contract labor categories, that labor rate would be discussed/negotiated/included on that particular IDIQ RFP. Any additional labor rates proposed on a future DMSMS/E&TS effort would need to be justified.

DMSMS and E&TS will potentially be utilized with currently unknown requirements, the Government recognizes that if/when that happens there may be a need for additional labor categories due to the unknown nature of future requirements.
