Elaborate artwork and expensive visual or other presentation aids are not necessary and if such material is included in the proposal it will be included in the volumes page count.

Proposals shall correlate directly and sequentially with the following specific proposal preparation instructions.

Non-conformance to the instructions may cause rejection of the proposal. Proposals shall be complete and self-sufficient, relate exactly to what is requested and proposed, and strictly adhere to the requirements of this solicitation. Use of documentation by reference, and not incorporated into the proposal, will not be allowed. Where cross-referencing is used, the volume, attachment, exhibit and paragraph numbers, as appropriate, shall be referenced.

The required content for each volume section is described below

3.1 VOLUME I – OFFER. Completion of this volume is a company’s offer for contractual commitment, complete in every respect and ready for acceptance by the Government.

The Government’s intent is to provide instructions that will allow the offeror to develop clear, concise, and comprehensible proposals and to minimize the need to enter into discussions in order to obtain additional data. This volume shall not contain any information related to any of the other evaluation factors.

This is a competitive acquisition and adequate competition is anticipated. The supporting cost documentation requested is not considered certified cost or pricing data and shall not be certified in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. However, if after receipt of proposals the PCO determines adequate competition does not exist, the PCO reserves the right to conduct negotiations and obtain certified cost or pricing data pursuant to FAR Part 15.

By submitting a proposal, the offeror grants the PCO, or an authorized representative, the right to examine records that form the basis of the proposal. This examination and review may take place at any time before award.

(b) A Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) and Cost Only (for ODCs) proposal shall be submitted in response to this solicitation. Offerors and all proposed subcontractors shall ensure their cost proposals are submitted in accordance with RFP Attachment 4 - 3, Cost Summary Format and RFP Attachment 4 - 4, Supporting Cost Data, with MS Excel format/formulas intact. Offerors shall breakout and identify each cost element separately for each year of the contract (first year beginning on the anticipated date of award stated in Section F) and on a cumulative basis for all years.

The Government Estimate for this procurement was developed using the following inputs: 1) the incumbent’s delivered rates, 2) delivered rates from other SPAWAR Software Sustainment Contracts, and

3) escalation of labor rates in each year for inflation.

On the basis of these inputs, the Government Estimate for fully burdened labor over 10 years on this procurement falls within the range of $95M to $110M, which is considered a realistic range for the work to be performed under this contract. Offeror’s proposing below this range maybe considered realistic if adequately substantiated.

(c) Estimated Level of Effort

The quantities of labor hours for each labor category shown below, which are to be used by the offeror for computing total labor costs, represent the Government’s current best estimate of requirements. The Government, however, cannot guarantee, upon award, the estimated quantities of man-hours shown below for individual labor categories nor the total estimated hours. If an offeror does not propose the level of effort specified below, the offer may be considered unacceptable. However, additional labor categories and corresponding hours, if required as direct costs by the offeror’s accounting system or disclosure statement, may be proposed in excess of the Government specified labor mix. In the event the offeror proposes labor categories and hours in addition to those required below, the offeror shall provide an accompanying narrative explanation (including the offeror’s disclosure statement) of the additional categories/hours.

Offerors shall use the labor categories provided by the Government below in the preparation of their RFP Attachment 4 - 3, Cost Summary Format. In the event the offeror’s labor category designations do not align precisely with the Government labor category designations, offerors shall provide a cross reference to the Government labor categories. In order to permit a comparison between the labor categories specified below and the offeror’s labor categories, the Prime offeror must complete RFP Attachment 4 - 5, Labor Rate and Qualification, for all proposed personnel in accordance with (d) below.

For evaluation purposes, the Government will apply any identified telework hours with the offeror’s Contractor Site rate, and adjust to the Contractor Site rate, if necessary during cost realism analysis.

*EVM – Earned Value Management. EVM requirements are based on the estimated ceiling of the total IDIQ contract and then are applied to the individual task orders, or group(s) of related task orders, that meet or are expected to meet the conditions of contract type, value, duration, and work scope. EVM requirements will be tailored at the task order level based on the task order value and reporting requirements.

(d) Labor Category Qualifications

All named personnel shall be listed to include how each named person meets the required labor category qualification information listed in Attachment 4 - 5, Labor Rate and Qualification. At a minimum, offerors shall complete the table for each named and contingent hire employee. For To Be Determined (“TBD”) employees, offerors may submit one line per labor category where the offeror is proposing labor category averages for employees with the same qualifications and rates; otherwise, Offerors shall submit a separate line for each TBD employee with different qualifications and/or rates, as applicable.

Attachment 4 - 5, Labor Rate and Qualification shall be completed and provided by the Prime offeror in Microsoft Excel format. PDF versions of Attachment 4 - 5 are not acceptable. Only one Attachment 4 - 5 shall be provided by the Prime offeror that includes data for both the Prime offeror and any proposed subcontractors. Only Prime offeror direct labor rates shall be provided in Attachment 4 - 5; subcontractor direct rates may be left blank. Offerors shall follow the instructions for completing Attachment 4 - 5 provided under the first tab of Attachment 4 - 5, Labor Rate and Qualification.

(e) Direct Labor Rates

The straight time hourly direct labor rates shall use a forty-hour week for the conversion of salaried employees to the hourly basis and shall be exclusive of loading factors; e.g., vacation, sick leave, holidays, overhead, G&A, and fee. Offerors shall ensure that they utilize the annual salary divided by 2,080 hours to equal the unloaded direct hour labor rate. Offerors (Prime and all Subcontractors) shall identify on Attachments 4 - 5 (Labor Rate and Qualification) and 4 - 3 (Cost Summary) the Current Actual Labor Rates. Offerors shall specify whether or not uncompensated overtime is included in their proposal for the Prime and all Subcontractors.

In order to verify the realism of the offeror’s proposed direct labor rates all Offerors (including proposed subcontractors) shall submit, as part of their Cost Proposal, documentation substantiating the accuracy of their proposed direct labor rates. Offerors shall ensure consistency between proposed direct labor rates and supporting documentation. Acceptable documentation may include the following:

(1) Current fiscal year direct labor rate information as a Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) on file with DCMA.

(2) Payroll data (if proposing current, named employees).

(3) Copies of signed Letters of Intent that indicate agreed upon annual salary and proposed start date (if proposing named, new hires).

(4) Copies of current or prior fiscal year DCMA FPRA or Forward Pricing Rate Recommendation

(FPRR).

(5) Labor Category Averages. If labor category averages are used as consistent with the offeror’s accounting practice and approved by DCAA, offerors shall provide a detailed narrative and include the calculation used to establish the category average. For example, provide a list of the current salaries for all employees working in that labor category, divided by the number of current employees in that labor category. In accordance with Section M, the Government reserves the right to use other methodologies for comparison if determined more realistic.

(6) For proposed rates that do not fall within one of the above criteria, offerors shall provide a detailed, comprehensive description of the methodology used to establish the proposed direct rate. The description shall include both the source where the rate was obtained and a description of how the resulting rate was calculated. Merely stating a “salary survey” or “market survey” was used is not sufficient. Offerors shall include a detailed description which includes the recognized national/regional compensation surveys and studies of professional, public, and private organizations used in establishing the total compensation structure.

(f) Direct Labor Escalation

Offerors shall provide copies of current or prior fiscal year FPRA, FPRR, or DCAA/DCMA field pricing assistance reports, if available. If FPRAs, FPRRs, or DCAA/DCMA field pricing assistance reports are unavailable, offerors shall provide rationale for proposing any rate below 2%. Rationale shall include detailed forecast information, historical information, and any other relevant information. Offerors proposing lower direct labor escalation rates in the option years risk a cost realism adjustment if the rationale is insufficient and the lower rates are determined to represent a cost risk.

(g) Indirect Rates

If current supported indirect data (e.g., FPRA, FPRR or DCAA audit of the offeror's indirect rates) are not available or do not exist, historical indirect data, to include actual incurred rates, annual incurred cost claims (if submitted), and provisional rates for the three (3) years prior to the offeror’s current fiscal year, shall be submitted with the proposal in addition to completing Attachment 4 - 4, Supporting Cost Data. If a proposed indirect rate (for the base or option periods) is more than 5% below the three-year historical actual incurred average, offerors shall provide a supporting narrative describing the basis for the discrepancy between the historical information and proposed rate. For example, where the three-year historical actual incurred average is 30%, a proposed rate below 25% would require a supporting narrative.

Information provided shall be consistent with the offeror’s disclosed accounting practices and shall identify how the rates were derived. Offerors shall identify the basis for the various cost elements for which each rate is applied.

Fringe: If applicable and in accordance with the Offerors’ normal accounting procedures, Offerors shall identify the fringe benefit rate(s) and total fringe benefit cost being proposed and identify the cost elements for which the fringe benefit rate is being applied.

Overhead (OH): In accordance with the offeror’s normal accounting procedures, offerors shall identify the current and projected overhead rate(s) and total overhead cost being proposed under this solicitation and identify the cost elements for which overhead is being applied. If applicable, identify overhead rates separately for Government-site and Contractor-site.

General & Administrative (G&A): Offerors shall identify the G&A rate(s) and the total G&A cost proposed and identify the various cost elements for which the G&A rate is being applied.

Material & Subcontractor (M&S): Offerors shall identify the M&S rate and the total M&S cost proposed and identify the various cost elements for which the M&S rate is being applied.

Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM): If FCCOM is proposed, offerors shall submit a completed DD Form 1861 entitled “Contract Facilities Capital Cost of Money” and include documentation supporting the computations with the form.

(h) Fee

Identify the fee rate, the total amount proposed for all years, the total amount per year, and the various cost elements on which the fee is being applied. Do not propose fee on FCCOM, Other Direct Costs (ODCs), or on any indirect costs that are applied to ODCs.

(i) Other Direct Costs (ODCs)

The Government’s best estimate of Other Direct Costs (ODCs) is set forth below. The Government cannot guarantee either the amount for each CLIN or the total estimated amount. Offerors shall include ODCs EXACTLY as specified below. It is anticipated that ODC costs will consist mainly of travel and incidental material costs. Separate lines in the proposal shall identify all indirect rates applied to ODCs. Total ODCs in the proposal represent the sum of the exact ODC values stated below and all indirect costs. Offerors shall not propose fee on ODCs.

CLIN Amount 0002 $1,425,000.00 1002 $855,000.00 2002 $570,000.00

(j) Subcontractors

Prime offerors shall provide a list of all proposed subcontractors by name and specify the type of subcontract (e.g., CPFF, FFP or T&M). Subcontractors with an accounting system adequate for a cost reimbursement type contract should be proposed as CPFF. Subcontractors that do not have an adequate accounting system should be proposed as FFP type or T&M. For each FFP or T&M subcontract proposed, Offerors shall explain in writing why no other contract type is appropriate. The offeror (Prime) shall also provide: (1) Analysis performed on the subcontractor’s cost proposal to determine a fair and reasonable price (see clause 52.244-2); (2) Small Business Subcontracting Plan (if applicable) and (3) If the proposal contains a “contractor team arrangement” as defined in FAR 9.601, information that describes the contractor team arrangement to include any information that will help the Government understand the contractor team arrangement purpose and benefit.

If subcontractors are proposed, each subcontractor shall submit the same detailed level of cost information as the Prime Offeror, regardless of subcontract pricing structure. Subcontractor cost information shall not be submitted via email to the Government. Subcontractor cost information may be submitted by the Prime Offeror, or subcontractors may submit cost information under separate cover via the SPAWAR E-Commerce web-site; see Section L provision Instructions to Offerors. Cost data provided separately by a proposed subcontractor must be received prior to the time and date specified for receipt of proposals and is subject to the same submission requirements of 52.215-1.

The offeror’s attention is directed to Clause Limitations on Subcontracting (Dec 1996) (52.219-14).

Offerors shall ensure their proposals are in accordance with the clause.

(k) Compensation Plan

Prime offerors and all proposed subcontractors shall submit separate total compensation plans describing the non-salary/direct labor compensation of the employees identified in the proposal. Offerors may submit a company-wide plan where all proposed employees are covered by the same compensation plan.

However, where employees are covered by different compensation plans, offerors shall submit all of compensation plans applicable to the personnel proposed under this solicitation. Offerors shall submit supporting information, including data used in establishing the total compensation structure. Offerors are encouraged to review 52.222-46 for further detail regarding the compensation plan.

(l) Uncompensated Overtime and Professional Employees

Proposals that include hourly rates for exempt employees which are based on more than a 2,080 work-year shall be identified as Uncompensated Overtime as defined in provision at FAR 52.237-10, “Identification of Uncompensated Overtime.” If an offeror decides to include uncompensated effort in their proposal, the following requirements shall be met and reflected in the proposal:

1) The offeror must have an established cost accounting system that is adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract, and that records all hours worked, including uncompensated hours, for all employees, and regardless of contract type. The contracting officer is required to make an affirmative determination regarding the adequacy of the offeror’s accounting system prior to the award. If the contracting officer is unable to make such a determination, the offeror will be ineligible for contract award.

2) Uncompensated hours, for all employees, and regardless of contract type, shall be included in the offeror’s base for allocation of indirect costs and meet the requirements of Cost Accounting Standard (CAS) 418, “Allocation of Direct and Indirect Costs.”

3) The proposal shall clearly identify hours of uncompensated effort proposed by labor category.

4) The proposal shall clearly identify the amount of uncompensated effort that will be performed without supervision and without support personnel and shall assess the productivity of such effort.

Additionally, clearly identify the means by which the offeror controls or schedules uncompensated overtime for its employees as well as where the uncompensated effort will be accomplished.

5) The proposal shall describe the extent to which employees are required or encouraged to perform uncompensated effort and the impact the use of uncompensated effort has on work effectiveness.

6) The proposal shall include a copy on the corporate policy addressing the uncompensated effort.

7) The proposal shall include a separate, complete cost breakdown to the same level of detail as the breakdown supporting the cost proposal. The breakdown shall include direct labor rates for all direct labor categories based on the division by 2,080 of exempt employees’ actual annual salary, to represent a standard (as deemed by Fair Labor Standards Act) 40-hour week or 2,080-hour standard year. In addition, the breakdown shall include overhead rates and other costs based on employees working a standard 40-hour workweek or a 2,080-hour standard year. It is the cost breakdown that will be used to perform the cost realism portion of the proposal evaluation.

8) The requirements stated in paragraph (1) through (7) above shall be met for each subcontract which has uncompensated effort included in the proposal.

(m) Accounting System

Offerors are advised that they must have an adequate accounting system for determining costs applicable to this cost reimbursement contract in order to be eligible for award. If available, offerors shall provide a copy of the report from the cognizant DCAA or DCMA office stating that the offeror’s accounting system is adequate for accumulation, reporting, and billing of costs under a cost reimbursement contract.

(n) Purchasing and Estimating System

Offerors shall provide a status of their purchasing and estimating system. Offerors shall provide a copy of the report from the cognizant DCAA or DCMA office as supporting documentation, if available.

(o) Contract Data Requirements List. Data is Not Separately Priced (NSP) so CLIN shall be proposed EXACTLY as follows:

CLIN Amount

0003 NSP

1003 NSP

2003 NSP

The costs associated with producing the contracted data items (CDRLs) should be included in the supporting CLINs.
