Pricing Proposal Instructions and Volume II Template

The Pricing Volume must address the full program (base + options) and must include all components described herein. No page limit is specified for the Price Volume. Unless otherwise specified, information incorporated into the Price Volume that is not related to price will not be considered. Full proposals requesting other transaction (OT) must use this form (Attachment D) and Attachment E: DARPA Price Detail Spreadsheet. All pages shall be formatted for printing on 8-1/2 by 11-inch paper with 1-inch margins and font size no smaller than 12 points. Font sizes of 8 or 10 points may be used for figures, tables, and charts. Submissions must be written in English. The Price Volume must be in PDF or Microsoft Word formats. Spreadsheet files must be included as a separate file in the full proposal package. The Government requires that proposers use the provided Attachment E: DARPA Price Detail Spreadsheet in the development of their price proposals. All tabs and tables in the price proposal spreadsheet should be developed in an editable format with calculation formulas intact to allow traceability of the price proposal. This price proposal spreadsheet must be used by the prime organization and all subcontractors. In addition to using the price proposal spreadsheet, the price proposal still must include all other items required in this announcement that are not covered by the editable spreadsheet. Using the provided price proposal spreadsheet will assist the Government in a rapid analysis of your proposed prices and, if your proposal is selected for award, speed up the negotiation and award execution process. While Attachment E is required, proposers may include additional spreadsheets in proposer format if beneficial for Government review, understanding, and mapping of the proposed price. Price must be traceable between the prime proposer and all sub-awardees/consultants, as well as between the price volume and the Task Description Document (TDD). This includes ensuring a consistent task structure across all proposal documents. For example, if the TDD shows a task 1.1, then the price proposal spreadsheet should show a task or a tab 1.1 and an explicit cost for that task. Cost information must be provided in sufficient detail to substantiate the proposed prices. The prime proposer is responsible for the compilation and submission of all non-proprietary sub-awardee price proposals. Proposal submissions will not be considered complete until the Government has received all subawardee price proposals.
