Common use of Question 9 Clause in Contracts

Question 9. The contract establishes a single fee dollar per hour for the CPFF Term CLINs and a single fee % for the CPFF completion CLINs for the life of the contract. Specifically concerning the fee dollar per hour amount: If there are significant variations in the labor mix of the task orders as compared to the labor mix from which the fee is calculated, this could introduce additional risk for the Offeror. Similarly, there is additional risk if task orders are not equally distributed across the period of performance. Would the government consider calculating the fee dollar per hour for each year of the contract instead of a single number for the entire period of performance? Answer 9: No, the Government is not making any changes to the fee calculation. The contract will have one fee dollar per hour for the CPFF Term CLINs and one fee percentage for the CPFF Completion CLINs.
