The cost proposal narrative shall fully align with and support the proposed Section B pricing. The cost proposal narrative shall fully corroborate every cost element that is proposed. Offeror shall propose realistic costs within its proposal. Offeror bears the sole responsibility to demonstrate that its proposed costs are realistic within its proposal.

The offeror shall submit a proposal inclusive of all calculations (with formulas intact) and a completed cost summary sheet in Microsoft Excel file format. Offerors are encouraged to use the spreadsheet found in Attachment #4. Spreadsheets, either in the format above or contractor format, shall contain intact formulas used to calculate any aspect of the proposal (i.

e. burdened labor rates, fee, etc.). Spreadsheets provided without intact formulas are unacceptable and may render an offeror's proposal ineligible for award. Offerors shall propose all pricing, including supporting spreadsheets and backup data in terms of US dollars as this is how the contract will be awarded. The offeror shall supply the most currently available rates for direct labor, overhead, general and administrative expense, and any other factors used in developing the proposal. The offeror shall submit any information reasonably required to explain the estimating process and basis of the proposed rates and factors, including:

(1) Direct Labor Costs:

(a) Direct Labor Rates. Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall describe the basis of estimate for each direct labor rate proposed and provide substantiating information that fully corroborates each direct labor rate proposed.

For each current employee named in the cost proposal spreadsheet, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall provide a screenshot that captures pertinent information from the employer's payroll system, incurred within the last three months preceding release of this solicitation. Payroll screenshots shall not contain any personally identifiable information, such as, social security numbers, date and place of birth, etc. Cost proposal narratives shall fully explain all pertinent data on a screenshot. The Government must be able to derive the individual's direct rate (both inclusive and exclusive of the impact of uncompensated overtime, if proposed) from the payroll screenshot.

Alternatively, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors may provide payroll verification instead of payroll screenshots. Payroll verification shall consist of a form containing the named personnel, proposed labor category, direct labor rate, certification status (per labor category as required), description of current position, and a signed certification by an authorized representative of the company that the information contained in the form is correct and current within the last three months preceding release of this solicitation. This supporting direct labor rate information shall clearly map to individual direct labor rates included within the cost proposal spreadsheet.

For each contingent hire in the cost proposal spreadsheet, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall clearly indicate named contingent hires and shall provide a signed letter of intent that explicitly lists the agreed upon annual salary for the named individual and the amount of uncompensated work required. The cost proposal narrative shall fully explain all pertinent data about the letter of intent. The Government must be able to derive the individual's direct rate (both inclusive and exclusive of the impact of uncompensated overtime, if proposed) from the letter of intent information.

For any position for which no candidate has been identified by name, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall provide payroll data for a comparable position and an analysis of how the proposed position is comparable to the position corresponding to the payroll data supplied. For any position where there is no similar position with a payroll screenshot, Offerors and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall provide other substantiating cost data to support the basis of estimate and an analysis of how the proposed position is comparable to the position corresponding to the payroll data supplied.

Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) Wage Determinations. Offeror shall propose rates no lower than the minimums listed in SCLS Wage Determinations current as of the date of the proposal. Current SCLS Wage Determinations can be found at https://sam.gov/content /wage-determinations.

Describe the company's historical levels of uncompensated overtime incurred previously and provide substantiating historical data that corroborates the adjusted hourly rates proposed.

(5) Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) or Forward Pricing Rate Recommendation (FPRR). Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall indicate whether an FPRA or FPRR has been established for their company and the extent it was used in establishing proposed costs. If an FPRA /FPRR exists, a copy shall be provided within the cost proposal narrative.

(6) Escalation. Support for any proposed escalation with rationale; factual data (including actual direct labor rates for at least three years) and complete supporting data and rationale for out-year escalation projections. In the absence of an adequate rationale, the Government may use the current Global Insight Rate (GIR) recommendation in evaluating the proposal.

Minimum Escalation Rate: 3.30 %

(7) Indirect Rates. Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall describe its proposed indirect rates, basis of estimate, and calculation methodologies. Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall provide the three most recent years of incurred actuals for each proposed indirect rate, any provisional billing rates available, also indicating the beginning and end dates for each fiscal year.

The Offeror shall note whether the actual rates have been audited by DCAA or any other independent organization; specifically state which indirect rates have been finalized by DCAA/DCMA. If proposed rates are below historical rates, the cost narrative shall include an explanation along with supporting information to corroborate why the proposed indirect rates that are lower than historical rates. If a cap on any of the indirect rates is being proposed, the cost narrative shall identify each capped rate and shall propose legally binding verbiage, which can be included in the resultant task order award subject to Government acceptance.

(8) Hardware: The Offeror shall submit proposed prices for all years, parts, and quantity tiers. The Offeror shall provide a cost breakdown in Excel format for each part. The Offeror shall support all proposed costs in the breakdown by including labor or burden rate calculations and material backup data including quotes and purchase orders at various quantities showing price breaks. The Offeror shall propose alternative or additional tier quantities where there is opportunity for the Government to take advantage of economies of scale.

Offeror shall include a total FFP Material price of $34,006,723.94 for CLIN 0004. No detailed justification for the CLIN 0004 total is required. The offeror shall propose a corresponding profit percentage that is adequately substantiated with supporting documentation.

The Contracting Officer is required to use the Weighted Guidelines Method described in DFARS 215.404-4 for performing a profit analysis for this requirement. The offeror is encouraged to present the details of its proposed profit 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 profit factors shall not be attempted.

(9) Other Direct Costs (ODCs). Offeror shall include a total of $79,290.37 for CLIN 0002 (figure does not include burdens) for unburdened ODCs which include travel estimates, and shipping, only.

Offeror shall demonstrate that their subcontractors have the necessary business systems to perform the contract types being proposed. Offeror shall conduct appropriate cost or price analysis to establish the reasonableness of the proposed subcontract prices and include the results of these analyses within its cost proposal narrative, in accordance with FAR 15.404-3(b).

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.

The Contracting Officer is required to use the Weighted Guidelines Method described in DFARS 215.404-4 for performing a fee analysis for this requirement. 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 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 clause B-215-H001. At the task order level prime contractors may propose a fee rate less than the maximum fee rate identified in clause B-215-H001. 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.
