Note on Price Evaluation factor: Prices for food, inclusive of all service fees shall not exceed the Difference of the Local Government Per Diem rate and the Proportional Meal rate. Prices for lodging shall not exceed the per diem rate for the location of the hotel and applicable time of year. There are a few steps to determine maximum allowable meal charges, again to be inclusive of all service charges and fees. Step 1: Go to http://www.defensetravel.osd.mil/dts/site/index.jsp The Defense Travel System web page. Step 2: Click on the blue DTMO Website tab located in the upper left corner of the web page. Step 3: Click on the Per Diem Rates Tool on the right-hand side of the screen Step 4: You should be in the Per Diem Rates Query; in the Contiguous United States box chose "Massachusetts" from the dropdown menu and check the box to include all cities and towns and Uncheck include military installations. i.e. Woburn, Middlesex County has a max lodging of $111.00 and Local meals of $71, Proportional meals of $53.25...so the $71 - 53.25 = $17.75 that is my allowable contractable meals per day including service charges.
