Summary of J_Pricing Model.xlsx

This is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) pricing model template 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, supporting cost information, labor summaries, and assumptions for a phased research and development acquisition. Offerors must complete all yellow-shaded input cells while maintaining the integrity of white formula cells and the workbook structure; submissions must be provided in native Excel format with formulas intact. The pricing model encompasses three Contract Line Items (CLINs): CLIN 001 (Concept Maturation and Risk Reduction, 6 months), CLIN 002 (System Integration and Demonstration Readiness, up to 24 months), and CLIN 003 (On-Orbit Demonstration and Validation, up to 6 months), with all prices designated as all-inclusive FFP unless expressly identified as Government-furnished or separately priced.

The template requires offerors to allocate milestone payments totaling 100 percent of each applicable CLIN price across defined acceptance events and milestones within their respective periods of performance. Supporting cost information must be provided across thirteen cost element categories including direct labor, subcontracts, materials/equipment, commercial services, software/flight software licensing, ground systems, space segment/payload integration, launch/deployment, test and verification, cybersecurity/ATC compliance, spectrum/regulatory licensing, program management, and other indirect costs. Additionally, the template mandates labor summaries by category and CLIN, documentation of major price drivers and assumptions, identification of Government-furnished resources or facilities with impact analysis if unavailable, and corporate contribution tracking. The model includes a threaded comment noting that CLIN 2 and 3 periods of performance and CLIN titles require alignment with updated solicitation guidance, indicating this template may require revision prior to proposal submission.
