Appendix IV_Cost Proposal Spreadsheet.xlsx

This document is a Cost Proposal Spreadsheet for a Defense Production Act Title III project focused on expanding domestic production capability and capacity. The spreadsheet provides a detailed cost breakdown across three years, with labor costs primarily centered on an Executive Scientist role (1 hour in Year 1, 3 hours in Year 2, 2 hours in Year 3), totaling $30 and showing a 50/50 cost share between the government and recipient. The spreadsheet includes placeholders for additional cost categories such as equipment, materials, travel, subcontractors, and overhead, but these sections are not comprehensively populated in the sample document.

The cost proposal is associated with Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Solicitation Number FA8650-19-S-5010, a pre-solicitation for a Hybrid Funding Opportunity Announcement targeting the expansion of domestic production capability and capacity. The document suggests a flexible cost-sharing approach, with potential for both federal government funds and recipient contributions across various project expense categories. While the specific technical details are not elaborated in this cost spreadsheet, it appears to be a preparatory financial template for a potential defense-related production enhancement project.
