The Government must be able to derive the direct rate from the screen capture information provided by the offeror. Identify the date as of which the actual wage rate is current. If proposed direct labor rates vary from actual wages of personnel, explain the basis for those rates. If the Offeror proposes/invoices category average rates, the Offeror must provide the detail of employees and wage rates within each labor category and the average rate computational methodology.

ii. Contingent Hires: Any proposed “new hires” shall be identified and provide justification for the wage rate (e.g., signed letter of intent to hire, company compensation policy). The proposed direct labor rates shall trace to supporting justification. Letters of intent must be signed by both the employer and the employee within 30 days of proposal submission manifesting the intent to employ the individual at a stated salary and indicating the applicable labor category.

iii. Unnamed/TBD Labor Rates:If neither payroll data nor a signed letter of intent is available, Offerors shall list the individual as “TBD”. The basis for all "TBD" employee rates proposed shall be detailed with specificity to include providing sufficient information necessary to enable the government to understand why the proposed rates are what the Offeror could realistically expect to pay to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Offerors shall also consider the labor rates for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) equivalent categories identified in the table below. These BLS rates reflect the

Government’s best approximation of the wage for each labor category considering the level of complexity and experience necessary for the associated eCraft labor categories identified.

Annual labor hours by labor category – The Offeror shall use the Government estimated annual labor hours delineated below to develop its proposal and prepare the schedule of estimated CPFF (reference attachment in Section J of the solicitation).

We suggest that the Offerors proposal include a summary schedule similar to the one below, which identifies the name of each cost burden center and related allocation base. Offer must describe each indirect cost pool. Describe or list the major cost components that make up the indirect cost pool. Offeror must describe the allocation bases used in the computation of indirect cost rates. Describe or list the cost elements that comprise each allocation base.

Name of Burden Center Allocation Base

(i.e. the cost base to which the rate is applied)

If formal forward pricing rate agreement (FPRA) has been negotiated and is the basis for proposed indirect expense rates, provide a complete copy of the FPRA. If in the Offerors opinion, the FPRA is too voluminous to include in its Price/Cost volume, then so state and identify the company’s cognizant Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) office and provide current contract information for each.

Proposed indirect rates will be based on historical rates or binding FPRA.

If the Offeror proposes an indirect rate cap, it shall propose a clause to be incorporated into Section H of the resulting contract which enforces such cap(s). If the Offeror does not propose an indirect rate cap, the Government will utilize historical information when performing realism. Further, indirect rates lower than recent actuals, or declining indirect rates may not be evaluated as realistic unless maximums/caps are offered. A composite cap or maximum including all burdens applied to direct labor is considered preferable to individual rate caps or maximums. The following draft clause is acceptable to the

Government. Should the Offeror elect to propose an alternate, it shall cover the same substance as is contained in the draft clause.

LIMITATIONS ON INDIRECT COST RATES

(a) Pursuant to FAR 42.707, an indirect cost rate ceiling is incorporated into the contract.

"Indirect cost" is defined as set forth at FAR 2.101 and 31.203. "Indirect cost rate" is defined as set forth at FAR 2.101.

(b) Notwithstanding the clause of this contract entitled "ALLOWABLE COST AND

PAYMENT" (FAR 52.216-7), the allowable indirect cost under this contract shall be obtained by applying limitations on indirect cost rates to bases agreed upon by the parties, as specified below.

(c) Allowability of costs and acceptability of cost allocation methods shall be determined in accordance with FAR Subpart 31.2 in effect on the date of this contract, as limited by the indirect cost rates established by this requirement.

(d) For the duration of this contract, the indirect cost rate caps contained in the

Contractor's accepted contract proposal shall be incorporated into the contract schedule as limitations on indirect cost rates for each Contractor fiscal year of contract performance.

The bases to which the indirect cost rates apply shall be those contained in the

Contractor's accepted contract proposal and hereby, incorporated into the contract schedule, in accordance with the Contractor's accounting system upon which its proposal was based.

(e) Pending establishment of indirect cost rates for any subsequent Contractor fiscal year

(or other period agreed to by the parties), the Contractor shall be reimbursed either at the rates fixed for the previous fiscal year or at billing rates acceptable to the Contracting

Officer, subject to appropriate adjustment when the final indirect cost rates for that period are established.

(f) The Government will not be obligated to pay any additional amount should any final indirect cost rates for any Contractor fiscal year of contract performance exceed the indirect rates incorporated into the contract schedule. In the event any of the Contractor's final indirect cost rates are less than the indirect cost rates incorporated into the contract schedule, the incorporated rates shall be reduced to conform with the lower rates.

(h) The limitations on indirect cost rate shall not change any monetary ceiling, contract obligation, or specific cost allowance or disallowance provided for in this contract. If facilities capital cost of money is proposed as an allowable cost, the rates proposed shall be subject to the limitations imposed by this requirement.

(i) The limitations on the indirect cost rate shall apply to all work performed under the contract, and to all change orders and supplemental agreements, including changes due to growth, supplemental, emergent and new work.

(j) Notwithstanding any of the terms of this requirement, should the Contractor initiate a change to its accounting systems which would alter the composition of any overhead base or pool effected by this requirement, the Contracting Officer and Contractor shall negotiate to determine the rate ceilings to be applied to the new overhead pools, provided that no agreement shall be made which would increase the costs paid by the United States under this contract.

(k) The limitation on indirect cost rates specified in the Contractor's cost proposal shall be the rates used to compute the costs in the Contractor's cost proposal upon which the award is based.

c. Labor Tripwire. Offerors shall identify any individual (prime and subcontractor) whose fully burdened labor rates exceed $183 per hour. If the individual is a subcontractor, the fully burdened hourly rate includes the prime contractor’s pass thru and fee rates. The build-up (i.e. employee direct labor rate, indirect rates, fee, etc.) of the individual’s fully burdened hourly labor rate shall be provided. Offerors shall fully justify why the proposed individual is required for contract performance and the specific benefit to be derived from the individual’s participation.

d. Subcontractor/Consultant Costs, if any: The prime Offeror shall state the planned subcontract type and pricing arrangement for each proposed subcontractor.

Subcontractors’ proposals shall include subcontract cost data in the SAME LEVEL OF

DETAIL as provided by the prime Offeror. All subcontracting costs shall be fully supported.

FAR 15.404-3(b) requires the prime contractor to conduct appropriate cost or price analysis to establish the reasonableness of proposed subcontract prices. This data shall be included in prime Offerors proposal. Offerors shall note that analysis based solely on a comparison to GSA rates will not be considered adequate because such rates are frequently discounted.

e. Facilities capital cost of money (FCCOM), if any: If FCCOM is proposed, provide the supporting CASB-CMF form Facilities Capital Cost of Money Factors, DD Form 1861-

CONTRACT FACILITIES CAPITAL COST OF MONEY and supporting calculations.

The Offeror shall submit any information reasonably required to explain the average net book values and judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or other methods used in the estimate.

If formal FPRA has been negotiated and is the basis for proposed FCCOM factors, provide a complete copy of the FPRA. If in the Offerors opinion, the FPRA is too voluminous to include in its Price/Cost volume, then so state and identify the company’s cognizant DCMA and DCAA office and provide current contract information for each.

Provide copies of recent DCAA correspondence that approves proposed indirect rates, if any.

The proposed price will be binding as a maximum ceiling for CLIN 0003 and the proposed profit rate will be binding as a maximum profit rate for individual task orders.

iv. CLIN 0004 – ODCs (COST): Complete schedule for the total estimated COST CLIN (reference the attachments in Section J of the solicitation) and complete pricing entered into Section B of the submitted SF 33. Use the Government estimated amount of $449,324 and apply applicable burdens. Fee is not allowed on travel costs under CLIN 0004; therefore, do not apply fee. ODCs will be reimbursed based on actual allowable and allocable costs inclusive of applicable burdens only. Insert the burdened maximum price into Section B of the submitted SF 33. The proposed price will be binding as a maximum ceiling for CLIN 0004.

v. CLIN 0005 – Materials in support of CLIN 0001 (COST): Complete schedule for the total estimated COST CLIN (reference the attachments in Section J of the solicitation) and complete pricing entered into Section B of the submitted SF 33. Use the Government estimated amount of

c) Current and forecasted company operating financial budget

The price/cost proposal shall include a copy of the company i) financial operating budget for the current fiscal year and (ii) the forecasted operating budget for the next fiscal year. Each budgetary report shall include the company’s name and the applicable accounting/operating year.

d) Pre-award survey of prospective contractor accounting system checklist

Offeror shall submit with their price/cost proposal a completed pre-award survey of prospective contractor accounting system checklist or the information requested in subparagraph ii or iii, where applicable.

i. If subparagraphs ii or iii do not apply, the Offeror must complete the pre-award survey of the prospective contractor accounting system checklist (see attachment in Section J of the solicitation).

(FAR 16.301-3 states that a cost-reimbursement type contract may be used only when the contractor’s accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract. If no information is available in the DoD activity files to make this determination an SF-1408 can be requested from DCAA. Before DCAA begins such an audit, the Offeror must complete this checklist to ensure they understand the requirements of the SF-1408, and to ensure they are ready for DCAA to come in and perform an audit.)

ii. If DCAA performed an audit or review of the adequacy of the Offerors accounting system design and for performing on cost reimbursable contracts within the past 36-months, then Offeror need only so state and provide the DCAA audit report information as follows:

DCAA Audit Report Number: _________________________

DCAA Audit Report Date: _________________________

DCAA office that performed the accounting system audit or review (office name, address, city, state, zip code): _________________________
