## The SEB Pricing Process

- What does the SEB do with your cost/price proposal:
- Request a DCAA audit
- Prime offerors
- Major subcontractors
- Read all narrative portions of Cost Volume
- Validate all offerors’ Excel models

## The SEB Pricing Process 

**Integrate pricing models of prime and major subs **
**Test models**
**Make probable cost adjustments/cost realism (only if necessary)**
**Full Time Equivalent (FTE) People/Skill Mix**
**Non-labor Resources**
**Incumbent Labor Rates**
**Direct Labor and Indirect Rates Adjustment**

## The SEB Pricing Process

- Develop Pricing Charts for Presentation to the Source Selection Authority SSA
- Proposed Cost vs. Probable Cost and Delta
- Rationale for Probable Cost adjustments
- Mission Suitability Offset

## Section L Technical Volume II Part 2 Specific Technical Understanding and Resources Requirements Table

- Offerors required to respond to paragraphs “A,” “B,” and “C” per level of detail indicated
- A - Technical Understanding Of Requirements
- B - Basis of Estimate
- C - Resources Table

## Example of Detail Requirements

| 
SOW Section LOC | Contract Method | Level of Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 
3.0 Office Furnishings | Completion Form | 
C |
| 3.1.1 Receive New Furniture | Completion Form | 
A,C |
| 3.1.2 Receive Furniture returned from field | Completion Form | 
A,B,C |

## Independent Government Estimate (IGE)

- What is the IGE?
- Government’s best estimate of resources (FTE, skill mix, non labor resources) to perform the current SOW
- Grass roots estimate, not budgetary
- IGE shall be provided to offerors
- Completion Form IGE shall be provided for all 10 years by Standard Labor Category (SLC)
- IDIQ IGE shall be provided at the cumulative sample task order level by SLC for CY 1 only
- The IGE is not intended to influence the offeror’s proposed estimates.  Offerors shall develop their own estimates that are:
- Consistent with Management Approach
- Consistent with Technical Approach
- Must discuss any deviation from IGE

**Detail on Overhead, G&A and Other Indirect Rates**
**Lack of narrative supporting rationale**
- Logic Issues
**Non-incumbent who propose 100% Incumbent Retention for Program Managers and other Key Personnel**
- Failure to follow template instructions:
**Fully Burdened Labor Rates placed where Direct Labor Rates are Required**
**Placing Hard Numbers Instead of links where appropriate **
