LABOR CLASSIFICATIONS – SUBCONTRACTORS
If you intend to utilize subcontractors, provide the same information as requested of the prime, including fully-burdened hourly labor rates, including subcontractor’s profit, for all five years of the contract. List each subcontractor separately with the subcontractor’s name and then all their fully burdened rates (including profit); then list the next subcontractor etc.

ODC Multiplier
NOTES:
1. Subcontractors: Any subcontractors included by the prime in the pricing schedule will be considered to be key team subcontractors. Key team subcontractors are subcontractors 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 and will be negotiated as required on each task order. The contractor shall present the Government, as each task order’s cost proposal, equipment, material, and supply costs for the task order with support for the proposed costs which indicate that they are fair and reasonable. The contractor shall present the Government with at least two quotes on required materials obtained from suppliers by the Contractor to support the contractor’s proposed costs. The contractor will be allowed to apply the proposed ODC multiplier to equipment, material, and supplies costs. These ODCs will be included in the offeror’s proposals on individual task orders in accordance with the offeror’s accounting systems and federal regulations.
3. The pricing schedule requires use of fully burdened hourly labor rates. “Fully Burdened” for the prime contractor means the direct labor plus all indirect costs and mark-ups consistent with the prime’s accounting system for which the prime expects payment. “Fully Burdened” for the subcontractors means the direct labor plus all indirect costs and mark-ups consistent with the subcontractor’s accounting system for which the subcontractor expects payment. The offeror and their 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, and any other multipliers consistent with the prospective accounting system). When the contract is awarded, the labor rates in the contract’s 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. The Government has shown the job classifications within job titles as Senior and Staff 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.
The Offeror and its subcontractors may separate the job titles into classifications by whatever method is common to their firm rather than the Senior and Staff 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.
If a labor category is not included in the pricing schedule, but is required on a specific task order, the labor rate will be negotiated for the task order and will be added by modification to the contract, if necessary. However, the fully burdened hourly labor rates, entered on the pricing schedule and thereby, proposed by the Contractor, will be the contract’s rates and prices for this period for which they are proposed.
5. Travel, Per Diem, Vehicle Rental/Mileage Costs. If required by task order under this contract, the costs for travel, lodging, meals, vehicle rental, and mileage are allowable subject to the limitations of FAR
31.205-46. These cost will be negotiated on each task order. The contractor is allowed to apply the proposed multiplier to travel costs.
6. The proposed total multipliers to other direct costs (including equipment, materials, and supplies);
travel costs and subcontracts, as listed by the offeror on the pricing schedule will include all indirect, G&A and profit to be applied to those costs. These rates will be used in the negotiation of task orders under the contract. No allowance for any other multipliers not disclosed in the proposal will be made.
IDC CONSTRAINTS
This MATOC shall not exceed the maximum capacity of $9,000,000.00, to include all awards made to both Large and Small Businesses."
