  1. Because of how the previous CO handled the estimates it was understood that they were just estimates and that we would bill at the current year rates for the positions. I thinkit is important to note that in no circumstances have we exceeded the actual task order estimate, the individual rates being are being cited as the reason for the rejections.
  2. We submit estimates based in the current year's rate for each task order.
  3. @ji20874 The contract is silent... So I guess I will just have to keep trying with the agency. Thanks!
  4. @joel hoffman "The IDIQ says that the maximum unburdened rates as specificed below are ceiling rates for the life of the contract. Contractos shal not exceed for any reason." The rates are listed by IDIQ OY. It does not specifiy or talk to PoPs at the task order level or those that cross year.
  5. @ji20874 We are in OY2 and the rate is above the OY1 ceiling but below the OY2 ceiling. The task order PoPs cross years so they are rejecting the invoices where we used OY2 (current OY) salaries wven though they are under the OY2 ceiling.
  6. @here_2_help Yes each OY has max unburdened rate ceilings at the IDIQ level. The IDIQ runs from March - February. Each task order runs independently and very often extends well into the next OY. The problem is at at any time we may have 20 - 60 open tasks order with varing PoPs. In a CPFF environment I am not able to offer multiple salaries for an individual based on the task order work. Escalation from year to year is less than 3%. So salary increases happen Mar 1 at the start of the OY. I don't see how we maintain under both years ceilings when the markup isn't there. The thought was that worked performed in OY2 iwe just need to be under the OY2 ceiling not carry OY1 for the life of the TTO as there are too many with varying dates... I am just not sure I see a path forward... I did challenge them and I am waiting to hear back. Also note that this was not a problem from base year to OY1 as the previous CO/CS were in agreement. This is now an issue for OY2 due to staff changes.
  7. @ji20874 TTO is the abreviation the agency uses for task order. The IDIQ states the max unburdened salaries for each year. So its not the indirects that are in question just the salary before loads. The task order began in OY1 and runs into OY2. Effective OY2 we gave increases in salary. They are rejecting the increase even though its is in line with the current OY. Are there any FAR clauses I can quote against their practices? I appreciate you both trying to help me!
  8. @here_2_help The unburdened rate is above OY1 and belwo OY2 as OY2 began March 1. They are saying we should bill max unburdened rate for task orders that began OY1 and run well into OY2 and current (in line with OY2) for task order that began OY2. I told them I cannot bill two different salaries for the same person on the same contract in the same month. CPFF means I bill them what I am paying the employee. The agency disagrees and is rejecting the 14 task order invoices in question.
  9. Greetings, I am new to the forum and am hopeful to receive sound guidance. I am the CFO for a small government contractor. We have a CPFF contract now in its 2nd OY. The contracting staff changed mid OY1. The CPFF IDIQ has max unburdened labor ceiling rates. Currently we have approx 60 open TTOs on the contract and they each have varying PoPs. When OY2 was excercised we gave increases to coincide with the OY all still below the OY2 max ceiling rates. They recently said they would be rejecting our invoices for the current month becuase we are charging OY2 rates on TTO's that started in OY1 and we can't do that. So in otherwords they want us to charge to differnt salaries for the same person in the same month because one PoP may have started in Jan 2022 and the other one in Mar 2022. So for March 1-31 Susan worked on TTO 1 with a PoP of Jan - June 2022 and TTO 3 with a PoP of March - August 2022. The new OY started March 2022 and the March labor on both TTO's we charged her rate as of March 1, 2022. Am I correct in doing this? Any FAR guidance? Thanks in advance for all your help....
