10464306 Contracting Section B, Contract Line Item Schedule - MATOC Binding Rates, Note 3

Comment Classification: Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

Note 3 states that Overhad and G&A is allowable on labor rates only and is not acceptable for Other Direct Costs, Subcontracting Costs, or Travel Costs. Note 7 further states that subcontracting costs shall include profit only. FAR 31.203 expressly states "(d) Once an appropriate base for allocating indirect costs has been accepted, the contractor shall not fragment the base by removing individual elements. All items properly includable in an indirect cost base shall bear a pro rata share of indirect costs irrespective of their acceptance as Government contract costs. For example, when a cost input base is used for the allocation of G&A costs, the contractor shall include in the base all items that would properly be part of the cost input base, whether allowable or unallowable, and these items shall bear their pro rata share of G&A costs." As noted, G&A is an expressly allowable cost under the FAR, and since this is an 8(a) setaside, disallowing these costs could be an undue burden on contractors. As such we request that G&A and profit be allowable per the FAR on ODCs and Subcontracts, and G&A only be allowable on Travel.

As currently written, this solicitation would prohibit the use of past performance from an affiliated firm (i.e., a sister company within a tribally owned firm). Generally, an Offeror is allowed to rely upon affiliates for its experience and past performance information as long as the solicitation (1) does not explicitly forbid it, and the Offeror's proposal represents that affiliates' resources will be involved in a meaningful manner [see Hot Shot Express, Inc., B-290482 (Aug. 2, 2002)]. Given that "(1)solicitations which restrict the ability of an offeror to provide the experience and past performance of its affiliates, even for proposals that demonstrate that affiliates will participate meaningfully in contract performance, are unduly restrictive of competition when the agency fails to provide an explanation that sets forth a reasonable basis for the restriction, Iyabak Construction, LLC, B-409196 (Feb. 6, 2014)", could the government please allow for tribally owned companies to use the past performance of affiliates (sister companies) in this solicitation as long as Offeror's proposal represents that affiliates' resources will be involved in a meaningful manner?
