However it is just not clear whether rates need to be provided for each item of plan or whether those rates can be provided at the RTOP:

e.g. ‘Firm Fixed-Prices shall be established at the task order level during the Request for Task Order Proposals (RTOP)’

If it is the case that firm fixed prices are established at the task order level, how should proponents complete the tables at Section B? Requirement will be determined at the task order level. Please review Performance Work Statement Section 1.2, "Contractors shall provide services and supplies through an identified and reserved list of services and supplies (ELIN(s)) at a Firm Fixed-Price. The contractor shall manage and integrate all services provided by, including but not limited to, subcontractor and Host nation authorities. Firm Fixed-Prices shall be established at the task order level during the Request for Task Order Proposals (RTOP). The contractor shall ensure that the services and supplies ordered conform to the general requirements of the contract according to this PWS. ELIN(s) performance work statement expressed in Sections 2 – 16 represents the U.S. Government's initial statement of objectives. The U.S. Government may incorporate additional performance work statements of objectives during the RTOP for identified ELIN(s) and reserved ELIN(s), which shall be incorporated into the eventual task order," and Performance Work Statement Sections 1.6, "The contractor shall provide logistics management and integration services to requiring activities and authorized ordering officers covered by this contract. These services require the contractor to integrate, manage, and perform all services and provide all supplies necessary to fully comply with the terms and conditions described in this performance work statement." Contractors are required to provided all services and supplies underneath the Performance Work Statement for the proposed regions.
