For these purposes, direct production man-hours are for skilled labor at the journeyman level expended in direct production including but not limited to the following functions:

Abrasive cleaning/blasting Fire Watch Welding Burning Brazing Carpentry Machinists (inside and outside) Electrical Work ElectronicWork Engineering Design Support Lagging

2. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate proposed by the contractor listed in paragraph 7 below shall include all costs associated with support functions (whether charged directly or indirectly by the offeror’s accounting systems) provided in support of the direct production man hour functions listed in paragraph 1 above. Support functions shall be considered to be included in the offeror’s fully burdened ship repair labor rate for direct production man hours. Labor hours for the below support functions shall not be separately proposed in any circumstance, including in support of subcontractors. Support functions include, and are not limited to, those types listed below:

Testing Quality Assurance Execution Planning Cleaning (except tank cleaning) Supervision Security Surveying Administration Transportation Purchasing Staff Lofting Other indirect support Handling & Warehousing Safety/Environmental

3. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate is a fixed hourly rate that includes all wages, overhead, all other indirect costs, general and administrative expenses, Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM) and profit.

The fully burdened ship repair labor rate represents a blended rate including labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control.

4. Consumable materials are goods used in the ordinary course of work performance such as office supplies, paper, rags, vehicle or equipment fuel costs, cleaning chemicals, disposable tools, welding rods, paint buckets, paint brushes, protective clothing, etc. that are consumed/used in the process of repair and do not become an integral part of the repaired vessel. Consumable material shall be included in the contractor’s fully burdened ship repair labor rate and not separately priced.

5. Physical materials are goods that become an integral part of the repaired vessel in the course of the repair, such as equipment, replacement steel, pipes, paint, and fasteners.

Actual cost does not include handling charges, general and administrative cost, overhead, profit, or any other indirect cost.

6. For contract changes involving subcontractors, subcontractor quotes will be treated as Other Direct Costs (ODCs) and will be subject to the contract material burden rate shown in paragraph (7) below. Subcontractor quotes must be competitively acquired and submitted with the contractor’s Change Order Price Analysis (COPA) in response to Request for Contract Changes (RCCs) and Reservation Task Requests (RTRs) issued by the Contracting Officer. At no time will the proposed total to be performed by the prime contractor combined with subcontractor quote, material quote, and applicable burdens be allowed to cost more than it would have, had the prime contractor directly provided all material and labor. The proposed total pricing restriction addressed in the preceding sentence does not apply in any case where the work is required to be performed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Government directed subcontractors, Government authorized vendors, or any other work at the sole discretion of the Administrative Contracting Officer. RCCs and RTRs that are subcontracted for material only (no associated labor required within the RCC) shall not be subject to the Material Burden Rate.

7. The contract fixed fully burdened ship repair labor rate and material burden rate are shown below. These fixed rates shall be used for negotiating growth and new work during the entire availability up to a total of 400 man hours and $5, 000.00 of materials of growth and new work under this contract.

(b) For purposes of this requirement, the intrinsic value of an item is defined as follows:

(2) If there is no comparable item sold in substantial quantities to the general public, intrinsic value is defined as the price an individual would expect to pay for the item based upon an economic purchase quantity as defined in FAR 52.207-4, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, packaging or labeling.

(c) At any time up to two years after delivery of a spare part or item of support equipment, the Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor that based on all information available at the time of the notice, the price of the part or item apparently exceeds its intrinsic value.

(d) If notified in accordance with paragraph (c) above, the Contractor agrees to enter into good faith negotiations with the Government to determine if, and in what amount, the Government is entitled to a refund.

(e) If agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above cannot be reached, and the Navy's return of the new or unused item to the Contractor is practical, the Navy, subject to the Contractor's agreement, may elect to return the item to the Contractor.

Upon return of the item to its original point of Government acceptance, the Contractor shall refund in full the price paid.

If no agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above is reached, and return of the item by the Navy is impractical, the Contracting Officer may, with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, issue a Contracting Officer's final decision on the matter, subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the "Disputes" clause (FAR 52.233-1).

(f) The Contractor shall make refunds, as required under this requirement, in accordance with instructions from the Contracting Officer.

(g) The Contractor shall not be liable for a refund if the Contractor advised the Contracting Officer in a timely manner that the price it would propose for a spare part or item of support equipment exceeded its intrinsic value, and with such advice, specified the estimated proposed price, the estimated intrinsic value and known alternative sources or item, if any, that can meet the requirement.

(h) This requirement does not apply to any spare parts or items of support equipment whose price is determined through adequate price competition. This requirement also does not apply to any spare part or item of support equipment if the Contractor submitted, and certified the currency, accuracy and completeness of, cost or pricing data applicable to the item.
