About this file

This document contains questions and answers regarding a federal solicitation for operational experimentation support services. The solicitation seeks proposals for multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts to provide planning, design, execution, analysis and assessment, and reporting support for operational experimentation efforts for the Navy Warfare Development Command. Services will be performed in Navy, joint, multi-service, and Allied environments. A security clearance is required. The contracts will include both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed price contract line items. The proposal evaluation will consider price reasonableness and cost realism in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The ceiling rates for labor categories applied to any resultant task orders will be set at the highest rate proposed for each labor category.

Question:

We do have an important clarification regarding the answers to Q.20 and Q.21 (Amendment 1, Gov't Q/A) since the responses do not provide sufficient guidance on how Labor Category ceilings will be set given the range of hours/FTEs within the same LCAT and Level.

This is a critical component to effectively price this bid for both the IDIQ and resultant task orders. In cases where the offeror prices multiple representative staff in the same LCAT/Level (due to the number of hours prescribed to support cost realism and capability), please confirm our assumption that the LCAT ceiling rate will be set by the highest representative rate proposed in the labor staff mix table for that LCAT and level.

For example, in the Labor Mix Table there are three Analyst SME Level-3 positions, comprising 5,760 hours. If an offeror bids 3 representatives, qualified names as highlighted below, can the Government confirm that the evaluated ceiling rate for Analyst SME Level 3 would be $120.00?

Contract LCAT Resource Type Name/Company Hours Fully Burdened Rate Analyst SME Level 3 Jane Doe 1920 $120.00 Analyst SME Level 3 John Doe 1920 $110.00 Analyst SME Level 3 James Smith 1920 $100.00

Answer:

The proposal will be evaluated in accordance with the solicitation; refer specifically to page 152 of 154, "Cost/Price proposals will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness and cost realism and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1." However, the attachment in its entirety will be incorporated into the contract. The ceiling for each LCAT applied to any task orders issued against the contract will be set at the highest rate proposed for that LCAT.
