Instructions for the Price Element Breakdown Template

Introduction This Price Element template is a Microsoft Excel based pricing tool that provides a standardized format for costing a PSO labor hour rate. The template was designed to assist contractors in pricing their proposal. Contractors choosing to use the template should only complete those cost elements, which apply to their proposal. The cost data provided in these worksheets are considered other than certified cost pricing data as discussed under FAR 15.403-5(b)(2).

Instructions for Completion

1. Please provide the name of your company and the solicitation number for your submission in the header section of the “Model for Price Realism” worksheet.

2. Note that the Price Breakdown file contains one worksheet tab entitled, “Model for Price Realism”. The offeror shall input the cost amounts for those elements listed on the template that apply except for the Non-PSO Positions.

3. Rows 8, 17, 33, 41, 83, 89, and 93 of the “Model for Price Realism” worksheet tab automatically calculate applicable totals, therefore data should not be inputted into these rows. Row 95 automatically calculates the labor hour rate applicable to the inputted data; therefore data should not be inputted into this row.

4. Rows 79-81 provide for the option to insert “Other” price elements, which are not included in the standardized listed elements. If including “Other” price elements, list a descriptor of each element in the applicable worksheet cell. If additional “other” price elements are needed for the breakdown, please insert rows under 81 and list the additional elements.

5. Additional worksheets may be provided to explain any subsidiary calculations used to determine the pricing amounts in the template.

6. The worksheet is not locked and may be adjusted by the offeror as appropriate.
