PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

wages, indirect costs and profit. Offerors shall not deviate from the labor categories and Government provided hours listed in Attachment 0001. Only one fully loaded labor rate shall be proposed for each of the labor categories. If an Offeror fails to propose prices for all specified labor categories and CLINs, the

Government may reject the offer. The proposed FFP fully loaded labor rates shall be incorporated into the resultant contract.

L.4.3.2.2 Travel: Offerors shall utilize the Government provided Travel amount of $40,000 for each ordering period, as reflected in Attachment 0001. These amounts are for evaluation purposes only and not to be used on future task orders. NTE travel amounts will be provided on a task order basis.

L.4.3.2.3 Material: Offerors shall utilize the Government provided Material amount of $20,000 for each ordering period, as reflected in Attachment 0001.
