At the MATOC level, one could ask for:
Direct labor rates (fully loaded) for any in-house labor
Materials markup for any materials purchased directly by the prime contractor
Markup on subcontractors
Markup on other direct costs
Profit rate
Task order proposed fixed prices would be built under those parameters. So would requests for equitable adjustments. You could also ask for bond premium percentages, which I've seen vary between as low as 0.555% and 3%.
Also, great commentary above that if a sample task is priced, it is best if it is real and someone will actually have to do it for the proposed price. It keeps the sample task pricing from being totally fictitious.
