Section L paragraph

5.3.2.7 ODCs

(Government provided) and

Section C, Descriptions and Specifications, paragraph 3.1.5.3

The Government provides examples but does not appear to limit what items can be included within the unburdened, Government-provided dollar value covered by ODCs.

Paragraph 3.1.5.3 (p.68) starts with the following sentence: “ODCs are miscellaneous costs that are reimbursable under the contract, but aren’t appropriate for the labor, material or travel CLINs.”

For an Offeror that elects disclosed accounting practices that include treatment of labor-related costs as ODCs such as medical, health and welfare costs, labor compensation (premiums or bonuses), etc., please confirm those values would not be considered to be part of the Government-provided ODC value.

Would these non-traditional ODC costs be proposed in CA-1 in addition to the Government-provided ODC unburdened value?

Costs such as those identified were not included in the Government Provided

ODC plug numbers.

Therefore, the approach for "labor-related costs as ODCs such as medical, health and welfare costs, labor compensation (premiums or bonuses)" should be addressed in the offerors proposal and not be considered to be part of the

Government-provided ODC value.

As necessary, Offerors are permitted to add rows to the spreadsheet to account for non-traditional costs, not previously identified in the spreadsheet.
