RFP Attachment 6_Excel Cost Model_20 Mar 2026.xlsx

This is an Excel-based cost model template for the Common Armament Tester for Fighter (CAT-F) solicitation (FA8533-25-R-0002). The model provides a structured format for offerors to propose pricing across a basic period of 12 months and four optional 12-month periods, with contract award anticipated in March 2026.

The cost model utilizes a mix of pricing arrangements including Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and Cost Reimbursement-No Fee (CRNF) across multiple Contract Line Items (CLINs) organized by aircraft platform (F-16, F-15, A-10) and maintenance level (O-Level and I-Level). CPFF CLINs cover prototype design, digital development, Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD), government testing support, technical data, material, and long-lead items, requiring offerors to propose labor rates across 13 labor categories with associated add-on factors (fringe, overhead, G&A, COM, and fee). FFP CLINs include production of handheld tester prototypes, fault isolation testers, kits in various quantities, program management, IP license rights, data deliverables, post-award conference, and surge expedited delivery options. The template accommodates both prime contractor and major subcontractor cost proposals, with separate worksheets for labor rates and rate descriptions. All CPFF costs, COM, and fees must be rounded to the nearest whole dollar, while labor rates must be rounded to two decimal places. The model structure enables the government to evaluate total proposed prices across the entire performance period for source selection purposes.
