Common Cost Volume Errors
Questions?1011The SEB Pricing ProcessWhat does the SEB do with your cost/price proposal:
May request a DCAA audit of all prime and major subcontractor proposals(Major Subcontractor estimated annual contract value of $5M or more)
Cognizant Federal Agency and Audit Office Template (Section L) requested with the Past Performance Volume (October 25, 2013) and Cost/Price Volume (due on November 12, 2013)
1112The SEB Pricing Process (Continued) Read all narrative portions of Cost/Price VolumeValidate all Offerors Excel modelsIntegrate pricing models of prime and major subs Make probable cost adjustments/cost realism (only if necessary)
Error Corrections/ReconciliationsLabor Rates AdjustmentsIndirect Rates AdjustmentsTechnical/Mgnt Evaluation (Labor/Non-Labor Resources)DCAA/DCMA input, as applicable
1213The SEB Pricing Process (Continued)SOME EXAMPLES:Error Corrections/ReconciliationsCorrect for math, linking or formula errorsUse Subcontractor Fully Burdened Rates (SFBRs) from Subs cost templates if Primes proposed SFBRs differ from the Subs SFBR
Labor Rates AdjustmentsIncumbent Labor Rates
Use average composite labor rates available to NASA for current effort (prime and all subcontractors), only when an Offeror proposes to hire incumbents and pay their prevailing wages
An incumbent is defined as the current person performing same or similar function on current contract
Adjustment based on Offerors proposed percentage (%) of Incumbents at their current Direct Labor (DL) rates
1314The SEB Pricing Process (Continued)SOME EXAMPLES:
Direct Labor Rates AdjustmentUse latest Department of Labor (DOL) wage determination for non-exempt labor categories, other current labor market surveys and indices
Indirect Rates AdjustmentUse current audit reports, forward pricing indirect rates recommendations from DCMA, etc
Technical/Management Evaluation [Labor and Non-Labor Resources (NLR) Adjustments)]Based on all technical or management weaknesses related to resources (FTEs/Skill Mix or NLRs)
1415The SEB Pricing Process (Continued)SOME EXAMPLES:
DCAA/DCMA input, as applicableDCAA audit report of Offerors cost proposals, if audits are requestedDCMA rates information, such as latest incurred cost audits, billing rates, etc
Develop Pricing Charts for Presentation to the Source Evaluation Board (SEB) & the Source Selection Authority (SSA)
Proposed Cost vs. Probable Cost and Delta
Rationale for Probable Cost Adjustments
1516Government Resource Estimate (GRE)What is the GRE?
Governments best estimate of resources (FTE and skill mix) and Non-Labor Resources (NLR) that may be required to perform all the Task Order (TO) requirements
Grass roots estimate, not budgetary
GRE are provided to Offerors (Section L, Attach L-5) to assist in scoping the management and non-technical administrative support requirements of the contract
Labor and Non-Labor GRE for all TOs are provided for Contract Year 1
Cumulative Labor FTEs by Skill Mix for CY 1 The GRE is not intended to influence the Offerors proposed estimates. Offerors shall develop their own estimates that are:
Consistent with Offerors Management and Technical Approach
