  1. JMG - That was the other method that I have seen but has been somewhat controversial with industry as to realistic rates. What happens if 3 of 6 contractors are "buying in" then the statistical analysis would be unrealistically low? I was trying to see if I could find another alternative then using the data set proposed by bidders. I'm not sure what makes up the data on salary.com and glassceiling.com to trust the information.
  2. I am interested in hearing other's feedback on their methodology for cost realism. Most RFPs that I have seen utilize a hierarchal system for direct and indirect labor rates such as the following: Direct Labor: Payroll, DCMA FPRR/FPRA, letters of intent, contractor's methodology Indirect: DCMA FPRR/FPRA, historical actuals Many contractors do not give the requested documents or give a methodology that is difficult to verify. I am looking for another alternative to determine realism (i.e. someone is not lowballing) in the event that substantial data is not given. Also, I agree that labor category definitions/mix is important but responses from contractors often just repeat what the government provided.
  3. I'm looking for input on performing cost realism on direct labor rates and indirect rates in a competitive CPFF LOE environment. Any input is greatly appreciated.
  4. It would be very useful to know if the contractor has an approved accounting and purchasing system. I find it very difficult to get this information in a timely manner.
