J.2 Other Direct Cost Breakdown Spreadsheet.xlsx

This is an Other Direct Cost (ODC) Breakdown Spreadsheet template for proposals submitted in response to a Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration solicitation (REQ693JJ926RQ000101) for developing a smartphone application to enhance older driver safety.

The spreadsheet provides a structured format for contractors to itemize and justify indirect costs associated with the project. The template includes line items for common ODC categories such as printing, postage, rent, and dues/subscriptions, with columns for individual cost occurrences and total costs. The example entries demonstrate cost calculation methodology: printing costs of $0.30 per page for 10 pages totaling $3, and rent at $1,000 per month over 6 months totaling $6,000. Contractors are required to clearly explain the use of all proposed ODCs in their proposals. The spreadsheet is marked as confidential and procurement sensitive, indicating its restricted distribution within the proposal evaluation process.
