The document, Attachment J-2 of SIR 6973GH-25-R-00201, outlines the cost proposal requirements for a Full Flight Simulator (FFS) acquisition by the FAA. Offerors must submit a detailed cost breakdown demonstrating an understanding of the scope of work and enabling the FAA to assess price reasonableness. While commercial item principles may apply, the FAA reserves the right to request cost and pricing data. The proposal needs to comprehensively detail all cost elements for the FFS's design, production, integration, and delivery, to be installed in a government-owned simulator bay. This breakdown is crucial for evaluating technical and cost realism, risk, and alignment with FAA expectations. Required cost elements include direct labor, materials and equipment, subcontractor/vendor costs, other direct costs (ODCs), engineering and customization, testing and qualification, installation and on-site support, indirect costs, and profit. A sample cost breakdown template is provided for guidance, emphasizing that these elements are cost drivers traceable within each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) and performance period, including escalation. Adequate detail is stressed to avoid evaluation delays.

The document, "Att.J-3: PAST PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE INFORMATION FORM," is a crucial component for Offerors (Prime or Subcontractor) in federal government RFPs, specifically for SIR 6973GH-25-R-00201. Its main purpose is to standardize the collection of past performance information for each submitted effort. Offerors must complete this form for every current or former project they wish to present as past performance, ensuring a copy is included in their proposal's Past Performance Volume and sent to the Contracting Officer. The form requires detailed information, including Offeror identification (name, address, type), contract specifics (title, number, agency, POC, type, purpose, dates, values, and competitive status). This structured approach allows the government to efficiently evaluate an Offeror's relevant experience and capabilities, serving as a critical tool in the competitive award process.
The document is a Past Performance Experience Information Form (Att.J-3) intended for offerors involved in government contracts, specifically as part of their proposal submissions in response to Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
