checklist for contractors to use in preparing their proposals. The 
checklist is submitted to DoD with the forward pricing rate proposal. 
The forward pricing rate proposal adequacy checklist at Table 215.403-1 
is used by the contracting officer and the contractor to ensure the 
proposal is complete.
