Services pricing
We prefer established commercial pricing in a published and dated catalog or price list. If you do not include services pricing in your commercial price list, provide a separate commercial services price list that has an effective date. Based your established commercial pricing on Format One (fixed unit price) or Format Two (labor rates) and mirror commercial pricing.
Incidental products: These items that are necessary to complete a project must be priced on the contract or offered as open market items. We encourage you to identify and price all incidental products in the services pricing proposal. When the cumulative value of incidental items on a task or delivery order exceeds the micro purchase threshold, the items must be procured in accordance with applicable acquisition regulations. The cumulative dollar value of the incidental items is key to determining the publications and competition requirements for federal customers. For some industries under SIN 238160 or 238910, incidental items necessary to install a product may easily exceed the micro purchase threshold; therefore, it is in your best interest to include pricing for incidental items in your pricing proposal.
Awarded incidental products must be directly related to performance of the services provided. A contractor may quote reduced pricing for incidental products based on the specific task identified at the task order lever. However, a contractor may never exceed the awarded price for any product or service without a modification to the contract.
Please be aware that ordering agencies placing task orders under a MAS contract may not be charged for any items and/or services that have not been approved and awarded under a vendor’s contract. Contracts can be modified to add or delete items as appropriate.
Industrial Funding Fee, or IFF: Offerors are required to identify the prevailing IFF as a separate calculation in the prices submitted with the offer. The fee is not included in the net contract price, but is reflected in the total amount charged to ordering activities. The IFF must be calculated as a separate collection mechanism, i.e., Base Rate – GSA Discount = Net Rate + IFF = total proposed hourly rate. There will be no exceptions; IFF is a separate collection mechanism and must be shown clearly as an adder to the net hourly rate.
Maintenance and repair certifications
Please list the brands that you are authorized to perform repairs/maintenance on. We ask that you provide proof in the form of letters from manufacturers, service agreements, certificates of authorization to perform repair work, etc., that clearly state that you the contract holder/offeror are certified/authorized to perform service on the brands listed. Please ensure the certificates show effective dates. It is your responsibility to ensure these certifications are kept current. If certification lapses or is not renewed, you will have to submit a modification request to remove these services for your contract.
