Amendment 0002 Industry Question: Since the price of a single beacon may be prohibitive based on significant fixed costs that would normally be amortized over the multiple units of a typical Beacon purchase, we recommend a minimum order quantity of 5. This would provide the Government with a more reasonable unit price. Would the Government consider this approach in lieu of pricing a single Beacon?

Government’s Response: This amendment removes the requirement to provide pricing for one

(1) Beacon.

All other solicitation terms and conditions remain unchanged.

(8) Incidental Material - Other Direct Costs (ODCs) (Cost Plus Fixed Fee). Offeror shall include propose $1,396,729 (figure does not include burdens) for unburdened ODCs in support of tasking for CLINs 0001 and 0002. These are total cost estimates for the entire contract. The estimated ODCs do not account for any company specific burdens such as material handling or G&A. Offeror shall propose all applicable burdens in accordance with its disclosure statements.

If a subcontractor proposes material costs, the subcontractor must fully burden such costs and these costs must be included in the below Government-specified material estimate. Prime and subcontractor proposals shall include a complete listing of all costs other than labor which are charged direct by the company exclusive of travel costs and purchased material which is incorporated into a deliverable item.

In order for any additional expenses to be allowed as a direct charge under the resulting contract, it must be identified and described within the cost proposal narrative and be reflected in the Section B pricing. For example, the ODC estimates do not include facility related costs since these are typically treated as an indirect cost; however, if the Offeror proposes to direct charge facility costs, Offeror shall propose such cost separately from the ODC estimate, provide a basis of estimate, rationale for direct charging such cost, and explain how the direct cost will be properly allocated to this requirement. Offeror may propose fixed fee for the CLIN in accordance with the fee and profit paragraph below.

Offerors shall fill in the table below by identifying applicable amounts and totals for each year.

Offeror shall round to the nearest dollar.

(9) Subcontractors: Offeror shall describe the contract type proposed for each subcontractor and rationale for why the chosen contract type is most appropriate. In particular, Offeror shall demonstrate the suitability of any Time-and-Materials or fixed price contract types (e.g. FFP, FFP LOE, etc.) and describe the Government will be billed throughout the performance of this requirement. Offeror shall demonstrate that their subcontractors have the necessary business systems to perform the contract types being proposed.

All subcontractors in excess of $100,000 shall submit cost proposal narratives in order to fully substantiate the reasonableness and realism of their proposed costs. Subcontractors that are proposed on cost reimbursement basis shall provide the same level of information as required from the Offeror to substantiate their own costs within their cost proposal narratives.

Subcontractors that are proposed on a Time-and-Materials or fixed price basis (e.g. FFP, FFP LOE, etc.) are not required to provide the same level details as required under cost reimbursable proposals, but shall still provide an itemized breakout of pricing that is customary with the contract type proposed. Subcontractor unsanitized cost proposal narratives shall be submitted separately via email in order to protect their proprietary information. Subcontractor cost proposals shall be received by the time and date specified for receipt of proposals specified in this solicitation. Subcontracts, regardless of dollar value, shall be adequately documented to facilitate a determination of cost reasonableness using a Cost Summery sheet. Note that compensation for labor paid to any individual who is not a bona fide employee of the Offeror is considered a Subcontractor.

If the prime offeror intends to subcontract 70% of the total cost of all work to be performed, the prime offeror shall provide the information required by FAR Clause 52.215-22(c).

(10) Fee and profit: Offeror shall complete the fill-in information in clauses B-216-H001, B- 232-H003 of the solicitation for the Cost Plus Fixed Fee CLINs. The offerror shall fill out the profit section for CLIN 0003 in the table listed in paragraph (6) above which will be incorporated into the CLIN at time of contract award.

The offeror is encouraged to present the details of its proposed fee amount in the format (DD Form 1547) and detail described in DFARS 215.404-4. The offeror may provide factual and substantive information for the Government's consideration in assigning weights and values. The offeror is advised, however, that unsupported assertions of merit will be disregarded.

Specific agreement on the applied weights or values for individual fee factors shall not be attempted.

The contractor agrees that the maximum fixed fee and profit rate that shall be charged against all Task Orders under this contract shall not exceed the values as stated in Section B. At the task/delivery order level prime contractors may propose a fee rate less than the maximum fee rate identified in Section B. In addition, subcontractors may not propose a fee rate that exceeds the prime’s fee rate.

If the offeror proposes Facilities Capital Cost of Money, full supporting data on DD Form 1861 must also be provided.

(11) Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM): The Offeror shall submit form CASB-CMF if proposing FCCOM and show the calculation of the proposed amount. Additional narrative may be submitted as a separate document, if necessary to describe derivation of labor rates, use of uncompensated overtime pools to which indirect rates are applied, etc.
