Labor&Ind Rates LABOR Information Prime 1 (Fill-in)

Instructions: • If the rates have been approved/negotiated by a Government agency, provide a copy of the memorandum/agreement.

Subcontractor

The prime contractor should perform and provide a cost/price analysis of each subcontractor’s cost proposal. Offerors are required to obtain competition to the maximum extent practicable when selecting subcontractors; if the offeror has obtained competitive quotes, copies should be provided. If the Offeror has selected other than the low bid for inclusion in their proposal or intends to award the subcontract on a sole-source basis, the offeror should provide rationale for their decision. For sole-sourced subcontracts, the prime contractor must provide a short sole-source justification.

Certified cost or pricing data may be required for subcontractor proposals over $700,000.

*Note: Federal Acquisition Regulation provision 52.215-22 is incorporated into this solicitation by reference. The offeror is to exclude excessive pass-through charges from subcontractors. The offeror must identify in its proposal the percentage of effort it intends to perform and the percentage to be performed by each of its proposed subcontractors. If more than 70 percent of the total effort will be performed through subcontractors, the offeror must include the additional information required by the above-cited clause.

• Fill out all columns on the Materials/Supplies Tab for each item.

• Add additional lines if needed.

• Include backup for each entry. Backup may consist of a vendor quote, information from a website, or a detailed explanation of labor and material costs for custom made items.

• Clearly label Materials/Supplies backup with a Reference Document Number in the format of MAT000 starting with MAT001. Place the Reference Document Number in the upper right hand side of the backup page. If there are several quotes on a page, items not desired must be lined out and each desired item must have a separate reference number placed to the left of the item on the backup page. The Reference Document Number must be listed next to the appropriate item on the Materials/Supplies worksheet under the Reference Document Number column.

• Ensure that descriptions and vendors listed on the Materials/Supplies worksheet match information provided in the backup.

• Number Reference Document Numbers sequentially so they match the Item number in the Base. For example, Item number 1 should match MAT001. If the same items are used again in the options, there is no need to renumber or add additional copies of the backup, but list the items sequentially for each option by Reference Document Number. As an example, MAT010 could be used for Base item number 10, Option I item number1 and Option II Item number 6.

Note 1: Material is property that may be incorporated into or attached to a deliverable end item or that may be consumed or expended in performing a contract.

The purchase on a direct reimbursement basis of equipment that is not included in a deliverable item will be evaluated for allowability on a case-by-case basis. Maximum use of Government integration, test, and experiment facilities is encouraged.

Note 2: Include a separate section in the above table for the Base and each Option. Add additional lines labeled with Options if needed.

Special tooling is defined as jigs, dies, fixtures, molds, patterns, taps, gauges, and all components of these items, including foundations and similar improvements necessary for installing special test equipment, and which are of such a specialized nature that without substantial modification or alteration their use is limited to the development or production of particular supplies or parts thereof or to the performance of particular services.

Plant equipment means personal property of a capital nature (including equipment, machine tools, test equipment, furniture, vehicles, and accessory and auxiliary items) for use in manufacturing supplies, in performing services, or for any administrative or general plant purpose.
