VR Match Calculator.xlsx

This is a VR Match Calculator spreadsheet provided by a state Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency for a Request for Quotation (RFQ) process. The document serves as a tool for bidders to calculate non-federal matching fund requirements based on federal VR funding amounts. Two contract budget examples are presented: Example 1 involves federal funds of $100,000.00 with a required non-federal match of $27,064.80, while Example 2 involves federal funds of $150,000.00 with a required non-federal match of $40,597.20. The calculator allows bidders to adjust figures to model alternative match scenarios relevant to their proposed contract budgets.

Bidders responding to this RFQ are subject to a maximum federal budget cap of $150,000.00 in VR federal funds. The contractor is required to provide matching funds (non-federal) as calculated by the spreadsheet based on the federal funding amount requested. The yellow-highlighted cells in the calculator are adjustable fields that enable bidders to determine their specific matching fund obligations and contract budget totals. This matching fund structure demonstrates the cost-sharing partnership between federal VR resources and contractor contributions to the Blind Rehabilitation Services (BRS) VR program.
