- Description
- Clarification to Solicitation Questions 1/19/17: 1. The 12/30/16 posting says that offerors should propose their ceiling rates for the entire IDIQ contract. We request that you please clarify and confirm the following, related to the information presented on 12/30 regarding ceiling rates. a. What is meant by "ceiling rates?" We presume that those may be direct labor hourly rates for categories, and not loaded time-and material (T&M) rates (e.g. direct labor plus indirect costs)? The ceiling rates include direct labor plus indirect costs per category, per year for all 7 years. (Contractors will be reimbursed for their actual costs up to the ceiling amount). b. Ceiling rates typically are not applicable for cost-reimbursement contracts, in our experience (accepting certain instances, for example, the Executive Level II rate limitation). Can the Government provide added information as to how they will be applied in any resultant contract, particularly for such an extended duration of 7 years? For the purposes of this RFP we are requesting ceiling rates which are an aggregate/total of direct and indirect costs. 2. The 12/30 clarification also states that the Ceiling rates shall be used for the sample Task Order. We presume this is for proposal purposes only, and that in any resultant contract, proposed rates for actual Task Orders can be less than the ceilings (or added categories proposed), based on actual task requirements? Yes, ceiling rates are being used for proposal evaluation purposes only. Yes, proposed rates for actual Task Orders can be less than the ceilings.
