The above was a reply to the following Q: Under single award IDIQ A/E contract, when issuing task orders valued over $650k, is a certificate of current cost and pricing data required? Mine is a similar situation, but with additional details that leave me uncertain as to whether I need to collect Certificates of Current Cost or Pricing Data from my subcontractors. The prime contract is CPAF and was a single award following full and open competition. Services (primarily) are procured via LOE task orders, using the contractual labor categories from our competitive proposal. Those rates were derived via blending prime and subs' rates. The award fee is based on the (fixed) contract rates, but being cost-reimburseable, of course the prime bills actuals. There are 15 subcontractors whose rates were submitted with the original proposal - some are T&M subs and some CR subs. The T&M'ers bill at their negotiated, subcontract rates, and the CR'ers bill at their actual cost. There are also additional subcontractors who were NOT part of the original team proposed - all T&M'ers. My two questions: (1) When the Government customer requests our proposal for a new LOE task, under what if any circumstances would the prime be asked to certify Current Accurate Complete? (2) If/when we need to certify, do we ever need our T&M subcontractors to certify? (Remember there are two categories of T&M subs: original, and added post-award, but it could be that none of the 'new' subs are proposed on a new task order.)
