BTR2562 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Are subcontractors required to include a compensation plan in their government cost proposals. I only see the requirement for submission by the Prime Contractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ji20874 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Are you talking about the compensation plan contemplated by FAR 52.222-46, Evaluation of Compensation for Professional Employees? Or some other plan? Please specify the citation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR2562 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 I am referring to the compensation Plan contemplated by FAR 52.222-46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ji20874 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Don't you think the prime contractor's single submission will cover all of the professional employees working under the contract, whether they are prime contractor or subcontractor employees?

Vern Edwards Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 The FAR is ambiguous. FAR 22.1103 sates,. in part: Quote All professional employees shall be compensated fairly and properly. Accordingly, the contracting officer shall insert the provision at 52.222-46, Evaluation of Compensation for Professional Employees, in solicitations for negotiated contracts when the contract amount is expected to exceed $750,000 and services are to be provided which will require meaningful numbers of professional employees... FAR 52.222-46 states: Quote As part of their proposals, offerors will submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for the professional employees who will work under the contract... Those passages could easily be interpreted to include the professional employees of subcontractors. If in doubt, ask the CO who issued the solicitation. Ask in writing.

If in doubt, ask the CO who issued the solicitation. Ask in writing. (Emphasis added.) A plain reading appears to me to cover all professional employees who will work on the contract, if the requirement is that all professional employees shall be compensated fairly and properly.
