About this file
This is a Government Feedback document responding to a Request for Information (RFI) posted to SAM.gov on September 4, 2025, providing clarification on differences between US Federal Government contracts and UK contracts for potential offerors.
The document clarifies four key contracting mechanisms and terms. The contract will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) pricing, allowing the Government to order services on an as-needed basis with all pricing established on an FFP basis and subject to no revision or negotiation after award. Offerors must submit pricing for all items in the Offer Sheet and are permitted to propose their own escalation rates within FFP CLINs for each subsequent option year to account for perceived business risk. The pricing submitted should account for expected price increases from normal market inflation; however, the contract will include a Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) clause to provide a formal mechanism for negotiating price adjustments should significant, external unforeseen conditions—such as major legislative changes that could not have been reasonably anticipated—occur. The Government emphasizes that all Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses and provisions are mandatory and standardized terms for US Federal Government contracts with no flexibility to remove or add clauses.

Feedback from the Government
This document has been created in response to the first Request For Information (RFI) previously posted to SAM.gov on 4 Sep 2025. Further clarification was required for differences between US government contracts and UK contracts.
Firm Fixed Price - Provides a firm price for both the contractor and the government. Offerors are permitted and expected to propose their own escalation rates within their FFP CLINs for each subsequent option year to account for their perceived business risk.
Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract (IDIQ) - This type of contract establishes a scope of services that the Government can order on an as-needed basis. All services ordered under this IDIQ will be priced on a Firm-Fixed-Priced basis (FFP), as detailed in the Offer sheet.
Accordingly, proposed pricing shall be firm-fixed and not subject to revision or negotiation after award. Proposals shall include pricing for all items in the Offer Sheet.
Price increases - The pricing submitted by the offeror in their proposal should account for their own perceived business risk. This may include expected price increases from normal market inflation. To further mitigate the risk of extreme, unforeseen market shifts, the contract will also include the Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) clause. This provides a formal mechanism to negotiate price adjustments should significant, external unforeseen conditions, such as major legislative changes, that could not have been reasonably anticipated.
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses and provisions - They are mandatory, standardized terms for US Federal Government contracts. There is no flexibility in removing or adding clauses to federal contracts.
