Attachment 4: Step 2 Price Proposal Format

ATTACHMENT 4: STEP 2 PRICE PROPOSAL FORMAT

The price proposal must include pricing information sufficiently detailed for meaningful evaluation of the proposal and determining that the price is fair and reasonable. Since the CSO is limited to commercial solutions, and will result in a RFO Part 12 commercial contract, detailed certified costs and pricing will not be required. Proposal must identify if the use of any Government property in the performance of work is required. For pricing purposes, Offerors should assume a contract start date of 1 October 2027 and proposal must be valid for 180 days or longer.
Since all proposals are considered commercial items, technologies, or services, the requirements of the Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA) are not applicable. However, if the Contracting Officer determines additional information is necessary to support a determination of a fair and reasonable price, other than certified cost and pricing data may be requested. The responsibility for providing adequate supporting data and attachments lies solely with the offeror. Further, the offeror must also bear the burden of proof in establishing reasonableness of proposed prices; therefore, it is in the offeror’s best interest to submit a fully supportable and well-prepared price proposal.
The offeror shall prepare the Price Proposal (with the exception of the pricing narrative information described below) using Microsoft Excel format. Include the AoI Number and the Project Title on all pages. The offeror shall retain the Excel version of all Price Proposal documents for subsequent submission to the Government should the offeror’s proposal be selected for award.
