Labor by Job Classification/Discipline:

OFFEROR’S PROPOSED MULTIPLIER: (Indirect Cost Rate to be applied as appropriate to Other Direct Costs (ODCs) and consistent with Offeror’s accounting system)

NOTES:

1. Subcontractors: The subcontractors who are included by the prime in the pricing schedule are those identified by the prime contractor as key team subcontractors. Key team subcontractors are subcontractors that the prime uses in their proposal to qualify for this contract and that the prime wishes to use during the life of the contract without having to obtain competition.

2. Definition of other direct costs (ODCs): Direct costs other than labor. ODCs, including equipment, supplies, travel, etc., are not pre-priced in the pricing schedule. These ODCs will be included in offerors’ proposals on individual task orders in accordance with offerors’ accounting systems and federal regulations.

3. The pricing schedule requires use of fully burdened hourly labor rates. Fully burdened for the prime contractor means direct labor plus all indirect costs and mark-ups consistent with the prime’s accounting system for which the prime expects payment EXCLUDING profit or fee. The profit or fee for the prime contractor will be negotiated for each task order. Fully burdened for a subcontractor means direct labor plus all indirect costs and mark-ups consistent with the subcontractor’s accounting system for which the subcontractor expects payment INCLUDING profit. The offeror and subcontractors will account for all of their costs in the labor rates entered into the pricing schedule – direct costs and all indirect costs (labor overhead, all other overhead costs, general and administrative (G&A), facilities capital cost of money (FCCOM), the prime’s markup to subcontractor’s fully burdened rates (indirect costs only, not to include any profit or fee going to the prime) and any other multipliers consistent with the prospective accounting system). When the contract is awarded, the labor rates in the contract pricing schedule for the prime contractor and subcontractors will be the contract rates; they will not be renegotiated if they are not correctly calculated and proposed by the contractor or the subcontractor as directed in this paragraph.

4. The job titles and classifications included in the pricing schedule are the Government’s anticipated job titles and classifications. All offerors must include and price all of these job titles and classifications at a minimum, whether through the use of personnel from the prime or through subcontractors. However, there may be job titles in the pricing schedule that are not, under the offeror’s accounting system, direct charged on projects; if the offeror does not give a labor rate for a job title for that reason, the offeror shall so state.

The Government has shown many of the job classifications within job titles as senior, staff and junior levels. The following definitions apply to the use of these classifications:

Senior level of the profession: Job management with some review function.

Staff level of the profession: Hands-on work effort; responsible for most of the work on a task order.

Junior level of the profession: Relatively new to the profession; still in an apprenticeship, not fully credentialed; works under the supervision of a staff or senior level person.

The offeror and subcontractors may separate the job titles into classifications by whatever method is common to their firm rather than the senior, staff and junior scheme, but the offeror must define their scheme and give definitions of the levels.

The job title of principal is defined as the owner, president, vice-president or CEO of the firm.
