For any proposed employees not currently working for the offeror, the offeror shall include other verifying data, such as recognized national and regional compensation surveys and studies of professional, public and private organizations, used in establishing the total compensation structure including direct labor and fringe benefits. If an offeror fails to submit the required plan and requested supporting information, the offeror's proposal will be considered to be inadequate, unresponsive, and will be excluded from consideration.

Offerors shall include a copy of their published price list or market pricing along with their price proposal.

Electronic spreadsheet files must be sent in Microsoft Excel 2007 format that includes all formulas, macro, computations, or equations used to compute the proposed amounts. Print image files or files containing only values are not acceptable. Supporting narrative shall be provided in Microsoft Word 2007 format or later.

Other Requirements, Terms and Conditions of the Cost Volume:

a. The Government shall provide the required labor categories and hours within the cost volume for each of the three (3) contract performance periods (base + two options), and the contractor shall provide the direct and indirect costs associated with the given level of effort, in accordance with the provided cost model. No variance from these hours is permitted.

b. Under this solicitation, the total cost/price proposed is the sum total of the contractor’s proposed direct and indirect labor rates factored against the prescribed number of hours for each labor category, with all other indirect costs, burdens, and fees applied in accordance with the contractor’s approved disclosure statement and any other applicable laws, regulations, and solicitation terms and provisions.

c. A completed and totaled Section B shall be submitted with the offerors price proposal. The total evaluated price (TEP) to be used in the award determination will be the total of ALL CLINs with the exception of the Transition-In CLINs. A completed copy of COST MODEL_ FORCE DEVELOPMENT.XLSX SHALL also be included with all offeror price proposals as discussed in paragraph e below. A proposal is presumed to represent the offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency with other sections of the offeror's proposal (i.e. technical proposal), whether real or apparent shall be explained in the proposal.

d. Competition is anticipated in response to this solicitation, therefore data other than certified cost or pricing data is currently required in accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b)(1) and FAR 15.403-3. If adequate competition is not received certified cost or pricing data may be required in accordance with FAR 15.403-4.

e. In accordance with FAR 15.403-5 the KO may specify the format of certified cost or pricing data or data other than certified cost or pricing data. All offerors are to complete the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet model attached to this solicitation (COST MODEL_ FORCE DEVELOPMENT.XLSX). The data in the offerors' completed spreadsheet model will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness as discussed above.

Therefore, each offeror is to submit a completed copy of this model in an Excel 2013-compatible, readable format inclusive of any and all formulas and any linked data as part of their price proposal. Offerors may alter the rows, columns, and certain formulas in the spreadsheet to accommodate the nuances of the offeror's accounting and estimating systems, however it is requested that the overall format be maintained as much as possible for analysis purposes. Labor hours in a given labor category may be sub-allocated between the prime and proposed subcontractors if performance is to be separately performed by a prime and sub(s).

f. In accordance with FAR 52.222-46, offerors shall submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for the professional employees who will work under the contract. Each offeror and any subcontractors shall submit copies of their compensation plans. Offerors shall also submit supporting verification information as attachments to the plan to include actual payroll and fringe benefit/rate data.

g. CLINs with an ESTIMATED normalized amount for other direct cost (ODC) and travel has been specified for proposal purposes. Each Offeror is to include these amounts in their proposals. Any material handling and/or G&A is to be applied to ODCs as appropriate. Since ODCs are an estimated amount that may or may not occur, no fixed fee will be proposed or accepted.

h. In accordance with FAR 15.404-3(b) each offeror shall conduct appropriate cost/ price analysis to establish the cost/price fairness and reasonableness of any proposed subcontract prices and shall include evidence of the results of these analyses in the offeror's price proposal. If an Offeror is unable to conduct price/cost reasonableness of a subcontractor, the Offeror shall provide a statement why and ensure that the required data is provided to the Contracting Officer directly by the subcontractor.
