PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 The Offeror must respond to all requirements of the solicitation and not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The

Offeror is advised that the Government may incorporate any portions of the Offeror’s proposal into the resulting contract.

1.2 In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization shall be emphasized during proposal preparation. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can comply with, or will comply with, the specifications, and paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof without supporting information are considered inadequate by the Government, and may result in assessing weaknesses and/or deficiencies.

1.3 The Offeror must include any data that illustrates the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. Failure to address a specific factor or sub factor clearly may be considered a deficiency.

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

1.4 The Government advises the Offeror that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may result in the assessment of a deficiency to the proposal.

1.5 Throughout these instructions, a “principal subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor who provides at least

20% of the proposed total price/cost (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee), for the contract or provides one or more

Key Personnel. “JV Team member” is defined as one of the entities that make up a joint venture (JV) formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation.

1.6 Questions: Offerors may submit questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements by emailing

3.1.3 All price/cost and price/cost supporting information shall be contained in Section B and the price/cost proposal. No price or pricing information shall be included in any other proposal volume including cover letters.

Offerors are responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to fully evaluate their price/cost proposal.

3.2 Ground Rules and Assumptions:

3.2.1 As this is a competitive acquisition with adequate price competition anticipated, certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-1 is not required. However, in the event that adequate price competition does not exist after receipt of proposals, the Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the Offeror and subcontractors. Further, the Offeror may be required to provide a Certificate of

Current Cost or Pricing Data prior to award, pursuant to FAR 15.406-2.

3.2.2 The Offeror shall provide sufficient information to support its price/cost as well as an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that affect the price/cost estimates.

3.3.3.1 Composite Fully Burdened Rates: Attachment P4 spreadsheet will consist of composite fully burdened rates for each of the key and non-key labor categories, inclusive of fee. Fully burdened rates are defined as direct labor rates plus all applicable burdens, to include indirect rates, fees, and subcontractor pass-through costs where applicable. These rates will be incorporated into Section B of the contract. The Government will utilize the rates when developing estimated labor ceilings for task orders by using the estimated hours per labor category multiplied by the composite rates found in Section B. (Only required from Prime contractor.)

3.3.3.2 Fixed Fee (Non-Performance Based/Level of Effort): Fixed Fee will be calculated based on fee per hour.

The fee per hour is the total fee proposed for all ordering periods divided by the total number of hours for all ordering periods. The offeror shall identify the Fixed Fee in Attachment P4, Streamlined Rates for Order Pricing.

The spreadsheet shall be formatted on letter size (8.5 X 11) paper and shall be unprotected and unlocked, with formulae intact to show mathematical operations. The rates will be incorporated into Section B of the contract.

(Only required for Prime Contractor)

The Offeror shall propose in compliance with the current hourly rate set forth in the Department of Labor Wage Determination as applicable. The Offeror shall provide Defense

Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) Information/Payroll Verification information as follows: A DCAA point of contact, with a current e-mail address, must be provided for the prime and each subcontractor. The Offeror and proposed subcontractors shall provide: the most current DCAA Provisional Billing Rate Approval Letter, DCAA

Final Billing Rate Approval Letter, and/or DCAA Forward Pricing Rate Agreement recommendation; payroll verification for currently employed proposed personnel; and any other information necessary to substantiate the rates proposed. Payroll verification shall consist of a form containing the title, direct labor rate, and a signed certification by an authorized representative of the company that the information contained in the form is correct.

For key personnel contingent hires, the offeror shall provide contingent offer letters outlining salary information for contingent hire employees. For any prospective hires for non-key labor categories, provide information to substantiate the rates proposed. All contingent hires shall have a letter of intent submitted under the Cost Volume.

Any proposed consultants shall have a consultant agreement substantiating the rates proposed. If a composite rate or other pricing methodology (e.g. cost estimating relationships) is utilized, the Offeror shall demonstrate how those rates were developed. Subcontractors and team members shall provide this information either separately or included in the Offeror’s submission of this document.

3.3.6.1 If any of the rates utilized by the Offeror or any subcontractors differ from the DCAA information and/or payroll verification, a justification shall be provided for the difference. If DCAA has not reviewed the rate information for an Offeror or one of its subcontractors, the Offeror must submit a detailed justification of the proposed direct and indirect rates. The Offeror shall also provide documentation verifying that it has a DCAA approved Accounting System or state that its Accounting System has not been approved by DCAA. Offerors shall provide the last three (3) years of actual indirect information. The Government may compare a prospective

Offeror’s labor category rate to the average labor rate from industry.

3.3.7 For all Cost type CLINS (e.g., CPFF, Cost – No Fee), under the solicitation, the Offeror shall fully disclose the buildup of price/cost of each CLIN.

3.3.8 When completing the Cost Summary Spreadsheets (Attachments P6 and P7), the Offeror shall not utilize any fully burdened hourly rates when pricing the labor of its employees.

3.3.9 Offeror’s labor classification should cross reference to Department of Labor (DOL) wage determination classifications as much as possible.

3.3.10 This solicitation contains some labor categories that are subject to the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended, and to FAR clause 52.222-41, contained in Section I of this solicitation. Offerors shall propose employee’s wages for the labor categories marked SCA in accordance with the Wage Determination shown under

Attachment 1. As part of the Price/Cost proposal, the Offeror shall furnish the names of the proposed labor categories and the corresponding labor categories from the attached Wage Determination as well as documentation of compliance with the minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits for service employees as specified in the

Wage Determination (provided as an attachment in Section J of this solicitation).

3.3.11 RESERVED

3.3.12 Offeror shall provide a narrative that addresses any assumptions made during the preparation of the

Price/Cost proposal and discuss the basis for the cost elements listed below:

Direct labor rates by category. The Offeror is required to submit labor rates for all proposed current, contingent, and prospective hire individuals. If composite or category averages are proposed, provide a breakdown of how rates are developed. If necessary provide a narrative to describe derivation of labor rates, use of uncompensated overtime, pools to which indirect rates are applied, historical /provisional billing rates for indirect rates for the last 3 years and description, and amount of proposed other direct costs.

If the Offeror requires the use of consultants in performance of the effort, the consultant cost shall be captured under the appropriate labor CLIN not the ODCs CLIN.

Escalation on labor. Offerors, including subcontractors, shall address escalation for all labor categories, and shall provide rationale for the specific escalation rate used. Offerors that do not include escalation, or an explanation as to why it is not included, may be considered unrealistically low and may have their proposals adjusted by the Government to include escalation in the option periods.

Indirect costs (e.g., Overhead, Fringe Benefits, General & Administrative (G&A), etc.) Historical indirect costs for the past three years.

Information needed to explain the offeror’s estimating practices

Profit/Fee: Identify profit/fee rate and total amounts proposed and identify the various cost elements to which the profit/fee is being applied. Profit, Base, Award, and Incentive fee rates, as applicable in Section

B, must be clearly distinguishable. Profit/Fee shall not be applied to ODCs.

Other Direct Costs (ODCs) by specific cost element (e.g., Travel & Material). Reimbursement for Travel will be in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations. If the Offeror proposes burdens on the

Government provided ODC estimates, the Offeror shall provide a percentage breakdown of the Offeror’s indirect costs and burdens added to the Government estimates for any and all Cost Reimbursable CLINs in

Section B.

When the Offeror elects to claim Cost of Money (COM) as an allowable cost, the Offeror must submit a

COM form and show the calculations of the proposed amount.

3.4 Total Professional Compensation Plan:
