About this file

This is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Pricing Model Template in Excel format for the NEXUS Ka-Band Backward-Compatible Relay project under NASA's NextSTEP-3 Broad Agency Announcement (Solicitation 80MSFC26R0006). The template is designed to collect comprehensive pricing data, milestone payment allocations, labor summaries, cost breakdowns, and supporting assumptions from offerors responding to the solicitation.

The pricing model contains six primary worksheets: (1) CLIN Summary Tab, which consolidates Firm-Fixed-Price quotations for three Contract Line Items (CLIN 001: Concept Maturation and Risk Reduction—6 months; CLIN 002: System Integration, Flight Demonstration, and Capability Verification and Validation—up to 24 months; CLIN 003: Additional Demonstration, Anomaly Resolution, and Service Validation—up to 6 months); (2) Milestone Payments Tab, requiring offerors to allocate CLIN prices across pre-populated acceptance events and milestones with percentages that sum to 100% of each CLIN's net price; (3) Cost Information by CLIN Tab, requesting detailed cost breakdowns across 14 cost elements including direct labor, subcontracts, materials/equipment, software licensing, ground systems, space segment integration, launch services, cybersecurity, spectrum/regulatory, program management, and profit/fee; (4) Labor Summary Tab, detailing hours and fully-burdened rates by labor category and CLIN; (5) Major Assumptions, Price Drivers, and Exclusions Tab, requiring offerors to address price impacts related to architecture, orbit, constellation, launch deployment, ground infrastructure, cybersecurity, spectrum licensing, RF compatibility, customer availability, supply chain, and transition planning; and (6) Corporate Contributions Tab, requiring clear identification and quantification of any corporate contributions that directly affect CLIN pricing. All prices must be all-inclusive unless expressly identified as Government-furnished or separately priced, and corporate contribution values must be excluded from Net Proposed Price calculations. Offerors must submit the completed workbook in native .xlsx format with all formulas intact and without altering the template structure, worksheets, or pre-populated formulas unless specifically authorized by the Government.
