About this file

This amendment modifies a Broad Agency Announcement for the No Manning Required, Ship (NOMARS) program. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks proposals for Phase 1 of the NOMARS program, which will explore the conceptual and preliminary design of an unmanned surface ship capable of autonomous operation at sea without human intervention or maintenance. Phase 1 consists of two tracks to research the ship design concept and define technical requirements. The amendment updates the cost proposal spreadsheet template to correct formulas referencing labor rates and change the default fixed fee rate. Proposers should use the revised template or manually update their existing template per the provided instructions.

Amendment 2

April 1, 2020

HR001120S0017

The purpose of Amendment 2 to HR001120S0017, the No Manning Required, Ship (NOMARS) Broad Agency Announcement, is to update the DARPA MS Excel Cost Proposal Spreadsheet.

Two issues have been identified in the DARPA cost proposal spreadsheet template. You can either use the updated cost proposal spreadsheet template provided with Amendment 2, which has the issues removed, or you can follow the instructions below to fix your existing spreadsheet.

Both issues apply to all of the cost detail worksheets (tabs). This includes the Base and all Option tabs and the Phase/TA tabs. The easiest way to make the changes is to select (ctrl-click) all applicable tabs (and only the applicable tabs) and make the change on one of the tabs. The change will be made on all selected tabs.

Issue 1. Column Q (Labor Overhead Rate) in the Direct Labor section. The formulas in rows 8-31 of column Q reference the wrong column of the Labor Rates tab.

The letter ‘M’ in the formula should be changed to be letter ‘N’. One way to make this change is to select cell Q8, change the letter ‘M’ to be ‘N’, accept the change, and copy the updated formula down the column through row 31.

Issue 2. Cell U72 (Fixed Fee Rate for Offeror FY 3) has a default value of 10%. To make this value accurate for a default template, change this value to be 0%. Naturally, if you have already entered your offeror-specific value in this cell, keep it.

Further, please note that for any areas of the spreadsheet that include verbiage requesting the submission of further documents (e.g., Forward Pricing Rate Agreement), if these documents are not specifically required in the BAA for Volume II, the Volume II requirements specified in the BAA shall take precedence and the additional documents referenced in the spreadsheet can be disregarded.
