RFP Attachment 6 Excel Cost Model_15 Sep 2025.xlsx

This file is an RFP cost model template in Excel format for the Common Armament Tester for Fighter (CAT-F) solicitation. The cost model serves as the pricing submission template that offerors must use to propose costs for the development, manufacture, and sustainment of a common armament tester for the F-16, F-15, and A-10 fighter platforms. The template is structured to capture costs across multiple contract line items and options, supporting the IDIQ contract structure that will award to up to two contractors during the Initial Source Selection for System Design, followed by a Final Downselect to at least one contractor after Critical Design Review. The model accommodates the mix of pricing arrangements specified in the RFP: Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and Cost Reimbursement-No Fee (CR-NF), with costs proposed for the one-year Basic period covering Prototype Design and Digital Development of O-Level and I-Level Testers, plus four one-year Options.

The file is a technical submission tool requiring offerors to detail labor, materials, subcontract, and overhead costs in accordance with the RFP pricing requirements. As a cost model template, it does not contain substantive programmatic or technical requirements but rather provides the framework within which contractors must present their financial proposals. Offerors must complete this Excel-based model accurately and submit it by the revised proposal due date of 17 March 2026 at 3:30 PM EDT, as established by RFP Amendment 0002. The cost model directly supports evaluation against the Government's cost realism and price reasonableness criteria for this Air Force Materiel Command acquisition.
