(g) For each of the rate categories, provide both the prior and current fiscal year's Incurred Cost rates. Indicate if the prior year rates have been audited. For the current year's Incurred Cost rates, provide the month ending for those rates.

L.4.3.1.4.8 Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCM)

The Offeror shall state the total amount estimated for FCCM and if applicable, provide FCCM categories.

L.4.3.1.4.9 Profit/Fee

The Offeror shall state the profit/fee rate as applicable and the total dollar amount included.

L.4.3.1.4.10 Cost Decrements

In the event the proposed pricing reflects any form of cost decrement, to include cost discounting, expected negotiation decreases, corporate investment or management challenges, the Offeror shall identify such decrements in the proposal. Where cost decrements are proposed, identify the nature, amount and basis for the decrement, and any accounting treatment implications. In addition, the Offeror shall provide supporting data to substantiate how the decrement will be achieved. In the event of corporate investment or management challenges that may result in the contract being performed at a loss, provide corporate level substantiating information which both recognizes the potential for performance at a loss and supports the ability of the offeror to finance contract performance in a loss position.

L.4.3.1.5 DCAA and DCMA Contact Information

The Offeror and each Major Subcontractor as defined in L.4.3.1.4.2 shall provide the address, email, and telephone number of the cognizant DCAA Field Audit Office and DCMA office.

L.4.3.2 Technical Data Package (TDP) Adjustment

It is the Governments objective to acquire rights in technical data (see DFARS 227.7103-1) to permit the Government to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data to support future full and open competitive acquisitions of the FMTV and all its components. The Offeror shall identify a proposed option to deliver rights (or comply with L.4.3.2.2) in technical data greater than or equal to the rights to which the Government is already entitled under applicable law, regulation, or contract. The optional rights shall be sufficient to support future full and open competitive acquisitions for the entire FMTV.

L.4.3.2.1 Attachment 0049 - TDP BOM

The Offeror shall complete Attachment 0049 (TDP BOM) for its proposed Production Level FMTV Government Technical Data Package and submit it in Microsoft Excel 2007 format as described in Sections L.4.3.3.1.1 and L.4.3.3.1.2 below. If proposed, the TDP shall meet the TDP Purchase Option language contained within Section C.2.5 of this solicitation. Attachment 0049 is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with tabs corresponding to each FMTV Configuration, Trailers, and Kits. Proposing an incomplete TDP for any of the unique FMTV end items due to failure to propose the components which comprise that end item, or proposing a single controlled part number for high level assemblies or vehicle subsystems does not constitute a Production Level TDP.

The following items from Attachment 0003, TDP Option Selection Worksheet, Box 5 are applicable to the TDP Evaluation and shall be proposed: Product Drawings (as defined in MIL-STD-31000A Paragraph 3.1.26), Special Inspection Equipment (SIE) Drawings (as defined in MIL-STD-31000A Paragraph 3.1.30), Special Tooling Drawings (as defined in MIL-STD-31000A Paragraph 3.1.32), Quality Assurance Provisions (as defined in MIL-STD-31000A Paragraph 4.4), Special Packaging Instructions (SPI) (as defined in MIL-STD-31000A Paragraph 4.4), and software (as defined in Section C.2.5.7). If any of these items are not applicable to the proposed design the Offeror must assert this in writing.

For Part 1 of each tab, the Offeror shall provide a complete accounting of each unique part number of the proposed FMTV design, to include all components, assemblies (and all of the down-level components which comprise them), installations (and all of the down-level components which comprise them), top level drawings, and software files. Down-level parts do not need to be proposed for Controlled components which meet the definitions below. Software files shall be treated as a unique part number for the purpose of completion of Attachment 0049. Instructions for each column are as follows.

(a) BOM LEVEL: The contractor shall identify the level of the Indentured BOM corresponding to the component.

(b) PART/DRAWING NUMBER: The contractor shall enter the part/drawing number for the individual software or hardware component pertaining to that line item of the BOM. For example: 12345678.

(c) NOMENCLATURE: The contractor shall enter the nomenclature of the part. For example BOLT, METRIC CLASS 10.9.

(d) DESCRIPTION: The offeror shall provide a description of the part which conveys the usage, function, and location of the part. For example, in the case of a pressure relief valve, a description would be "Pressure relief safety valve mounted to the pneumatic system air tanks. The offeror may attach a pictorial representation of the component to aid in clarity (e.g. 3D model screenshot, or picture), but this representation must convey the function and usage clearly and concisely.

(e) TYPE OF COMPONENT: The offeror shall choose from one of the following choices for drawing type. For the purposes of this BOM, unique vehicle software shall be given a unique part number and entered in the table accordingly. For the purposes of this column, software is included as a component.

(i) COMPETITIVE RIGHTS COMPONENT - A component which is proposed to be delivered and released into the Government TDP with Unlimited or Government Purpose Rights as defined in DFARS 252.227-7013, 252.227-7014, and 252.227-7015, which can be openly and competitively procured by the Government for Government purposes without restriction.

(ii) CONTROLLED OEM COMPONENT - A component with data rights or software rights owned and retained by the Offeror (including its parent, affiliate, or subsidiary companies) documented on a Control Drawing as defined in ASME Y14.24 Section 10.

The controlled component must be delivered and released into the Government TDP on a Government format control drawing which identifies the Offeror (including its parent, affiliate, or subsidiary companies) as the sole approved source of supply and provides the FMTV form, fit, function, interface, and minimum performance requirements. The Offeror shall provide unlimited rights for this type of drawing.

(iii) CONTROLLED COMMERCIAL COMPONENT - A component with data rights or software rights owned and retained by the commercial manufacturer documented on a Control Drawing as defined in ASME Y14.24 Section 10.

The controlled component must be delivered and released into the Government TDP on a Government format control drawing which identifies the Offeror (including its parent, affiliate, or subsidiary companies) as the sole approved source of supply and provides the FMTV form, fit, function, interface, and minimum performance requirements. The Offeror shall provide unlimited rights for this type of drawing.

(f) IDENTIFIED SOURCE(S) FOR CONTROLLED COMPONENTS: The contractor shall provide the source(s) of supply for all components which are identified as CONTROLLED COMPONENTS. For components specified as COMPETITIVE RIGHTS COMPONENTS with UNLIMITED or GOVERNMENT PURPOSE RIGHTS, enter “N/A” in this cell.

L.4.3.2.1.2 Part 2 - A Listing of Assertion of Restrictions for Items Included in the TDP Option

For Part 2 of each tab, the Offeror shall assert any restrictions on the Government's rights to use, release, or disclose each unique part identified on Part 1 of Attachment 0049 after the option is exercised.

For each item identified as a Competitive Rights Component in Part 1 of Attachment 0049, the Offeror shall specify the Government will be given either Government Purpose Rights or Unlimited Rights upon exercise of the option. This information shall be identified within the Asserted Rights column of Part 2.

For each item identified as a Source Controlled OEM Component or Source Controlled - Commercial Component in Part 1 of Attachment 0049, the Offeror shall specify the Government will be given either Limited Rights to the component with Unlimited Rights to the FMTV source controlled drawing, or Restricted Rights to the component with Unlimited Rights to the FMTV source controlled drawing upon exercise of the option. This information shall be identified within the Asserted Rights column of Part 2.

For each item identified as a having restricted or limited rights in Part 2, the Offeror shall specify the Basis for Assertion. Generally, development at private expense, either exclusively or partially, is the only basis for asserting restrictions. For technical data, other than computer software documentation, development refers to development of the item, component, or process to which the data pertain. The Government's rights in computer software documentation generally may not be restricted. For computer software, development refers to the software. Indicate whether development was accomplished exclusively or partially at private expense. If development was not accomplished at private expense, or for computer software documentation, enter the specific basis for asserting restrictions.

Part 2 of Attachment 0049 shall be dated and signed by an official authorized to contractually obligate the Offeror.

Part 2 of Attachment 0049 will not be evaluated in the Source Selection; however it will be incorporated as an attachment in Section J of the resulting contract. If the TDP Option is exercised, the information provided in Part 2 of Attachment 0049 will replace the Assertion of Restrictions submitted IAW DFARS 252.227-7017.

L.4.3.2.2 Declining to Propose

Should the Offeror elect to decline to propose an option for the Government to acquire additional data rights sufficient to support competition, the Offeror shall submit this intent in writing in place of Attachment 0049. In accordance with 10 USC 2320 and DFARS 227.7103-1, an Offeror will not be deemed non-responsive if it declines to propose an option for competitive rights in technical data greater than the rights to which the Government is already entitled; nor is the Governments goal of acquiring data rights to support future full and open competitive acquisitions a condition of award, rather it will be considered in the source selection decision.

L.4.3.2.3 Incorporation of Proposed TDP Data Rights

The Offeror selected for award will have its proposed TDP Option BOM in Attachment 0049 incorporated into Section J of the Contract. If the TDP Option is exercised, then the Contractor shall deliver a TDP with markings conforming to its proposed option rights in Attachment 0049.

L.4.4 Volume IV – Past Performance Factor
