The fully burdened ship repair labor rate proposed by the contractor and identified in Attachment J-3, includes all costs associated with support functions (whether charged directly or indirectly by the Contractor's accounting systems) provided in support of the direct production functions listed in Note A paragraph 1 above. Support functions are considered to be included in the Contractor's fully burdened ship repair labor rate for direct production hours. Labor hours for the below support functions shall not be separately proposed, including in support of subcontractors. Support functions include, and are not limited to, those types listed below:

The fully burdened ship repair labor rate is a fixed hourly rate that includes all wages, (i.e. straight time, overtime, shift differential, holiday time, etc.), overhead, all other indirect costs, general and administrative expenses, Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM) and profit. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate represents a blended rate including labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control.

4. Consumable materials are goods used in the ordinary course of work performance such as office supplies, paper, rags, vehicle or equipment fuel costs, cleaning chemicals, disposable tools, welding rods, paint buckets, paint brushes, protective clothing, etc., that are consumed/used in the process of repair and do not become an integral part of the repaired vessel.

If the Contractor intends to subcontract a CCO for procurement of material only, the Contractor shall notify the KO prior to submitting its CCO pricing stating the reason subcontracting the CCO is the best value to the Government. The proposed total pricing restriction addressed in the preceding sentence does not apply in any case where the work is required to be performed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), or Government directed subcontractors.
