Resource Allocation Matrix

The labor categories and rates listed below shall be applicable to orders issued under Training Systems Analysis and Design (FFP) CLIN X001 and Curriculum Format Conversion (FFP) CLIN X002. The rate for each labor category below shall be the fully burdened labor rate, to include all indirect rates, G&A, and profit, for the labor categories.

NOTE: Year 5 Fully Burdened Rates should account for effort on any delivery orders for which delivery could go up to six months past the ordering period end date. Firm fixed-price rates on orders issued in the last month of the contract ordering period, and when product delivery is more than six months past the ordering period end date, are limited to a one-time escalation, not to exceed 3 percent, for the period extending beyond six months, not to exceed the date set in FAR 52.216-22 of this IDIQ.

Labor Category Descriptions The following labor category descriptions are provided for reference purposes only. They ARE NOT contractual requirements in education or experience, but provide descriptions of primary functions, duties, education levels, and experience indicative of the personnel which may be required in performance of individual delivery orders. The education and experience in the labor category descriptions are reflective of the levels historically utilized.
