FP Article 2 Payment Provisions - Rate Table.xlsx

The file is a Fixed Price Subcontract Rate Table for the Mechanical Engineering Support and Assistance (MESA) contract at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The rate table covers fiscal years 2026-2030 and provides a framework for calculating subcontract work order (SWO) pricing, with negotiated rates for multiple labor categories and indirect rates. Currently, all rate entries are set at $0.00, and the profit rate is 0.0% across all fiscal years, suggesting this is a preliminary or placeholder pricing document.

The associated federal contract opportunity is a 100% small business set-aside solicitation from NASA for mechanical systems engineering support. JPL intends to award multiple subcontracts (both cost-type and fixed-price) to support non-flight and flight technology development, system engineering, hardware development, and integration and test activities. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541715, covering research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. The solicitation is specifically targeted at small businesses, with resources like APEX Accelerators and the Small Business Development Center available to support potential offerors.
