03 --- Cost Proposal.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal template for a federal contract opportunity in support of specialized aerospace systems research and development. The template is designed for the RFP N00173-21-R-LM01 issued by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Code 8124 for technical services at the Pomonkey Facility in La Plata, Maryland, and an associated Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) facility. The cost proposal spreadsheet accommodates a five-year performance period (FY-23 through FY-27) and includes sections for indirect rates, labor rate build-ups for both prime contractors and subcontractors, and a comprehensive cost summary.

The template structure includes indirect rates for fringe benefits, on-site overhead (government facility), off-site overhead (contractor facility), materials and handling (M&H), general and administrative (G&A), and fee calculations across all fiscal years. The labor build-up sections allow contractors to input base rates, apply indirect cost factors, calculate burdened rates, incorporate annual escalation percentages, and compute rates with fee for multiple labor categories. The cost summary template breaks down total labor costs by year, distinguishing between prime contractor direct labor, indirect labor costs (fringe, overhead, G&A), subcontractor labor costs with associated pass-through charges, other direct costs (ODCs), and fixed fee amounts. The spreadsheet is configured for cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) pricing with separately identified cost-no-fee line items for materials and travel, reflecting the firm-fixed-price labor CLINs and cost-no-fee material/travel CLINs anticipated by the Government for this 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods.
