DSO Disruptioneering Program Announcement (PA)
Volume 2: Price Proposal Template

Use of this template is mandatory for all proposal submissions to this Program Announcement (PA) following the release of a Disruptioneering Opportunity (DO). Failure to adhere to ALL of the instructions provided herein may result in the proposal being determined nonconforming.

The Volume 2 Price Proposal Template must include all components described herein. No page limit is specified for the Price Volume. Information incorporated into the Price Volume which is not related to Price will not be considered. All pages shall be formatted for printing on 8-1/2 by 11 inch paper with 1-inch margins and font size not smaller than 11 point. Font sizes of 8 or 10 point may be used for figures, tables, and charts. All Price Volume documents (including proprietary subcontractor proposals) must be UNCLASSIFIED, written in English, and be in .pdf, .odx, .doc, .docx, .xls, or .xlsx formats.

Prices must be traceable between the prime proposer and all subawardees/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. Price 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 subawardee price proposals. Proposal submissions may not be considered complete until the Government has received all subawardee price proposals. Proprietary subawardee price proposals may be included as part of the Price Volume or emailed separately by the subawardee to [email protected]. Email messages must include “Subawardee Price Proposal” in the subject line and identify the principal investigator, prime proposer organization, proposal title, and the applicable DO Opportunity number (DARPA-PA-25-07-XX) in the body of the message.

Price Volumes must address all requested project phases. As referenced in Section 2.3 of DARPA-PA-25-07, DOs will be issued as either a single or two-phase effort; Phase 1 base and a Phase 2 option (if included and awarded), and the periods of performance for these phases will be specified in the DO.

As noted in the PA, DOs may include a total available budget for all awards, ceiling amounts for each individual award, and/or ceilings per phase. This limit applies to the sum of the Government’s funding and any performer cost share (if required). If the proposed solution meets the statutory requirements for cost share, proposers must include a minimum of one third cost share for each proposed Phase in their proposal, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 4022(d)(1)(C). All awards made as a result of a DO issued under this PA will be Other Transactions (OTs) for prototype projects awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 4022.
