Escalation Factor definition

Escalation Factor. The burdened maximum rates awarded for each LCAT at initial contract award shall serve as the basis for all future year pricing for those maximum rates. In order to determine future year maximum rate pricing, the originally awarded rates will have an escalation factor applied. This escalation factor will be the average annual Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Cost Index (ECI), “Table 5: COMPENSATION (NOT SEASONALLY ADJUSTED) for total compensation for private industry workers, by occupational group and Industry, Professional, scientific, and technical services” - for the previous three years. In Year 5 of the Master Contract, if the average annual ECI for the previous three years is higher than at time of the Master Contract award date, the maximum rates for Master Contract Option Years 6 through 10, plus the remaining Period of Task Order Performance Years 11through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage increase. For example, if the BLS ECI index was 2.23% at time of proposal submission and the BLS ECI index is 3.16% in Year 5 of the Master Contract, the maximum rates for years 6 through 15 will be adjusted by 0.93% per year on a cumulative basis. If BLS ECI index in Year 5 of the Master Contract is equal to or below the BLS ECI index at time of award, the maximum rates will remain unchanged. In Year 10 of the Master Contract, if the previous three-year average annual BLS ECI index for the previous three years is higher than Year 5 of the Master Contract, the maximum rates for the remaining Period of Task Order Performance Years 11 through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage increase in accordance with the example above. If the average index in Year 10 is equal to or below the average index in Year 5, the maximum rates will remain unchanged. Direct labor and all other cost elements (including G&A, O/H, fringe benefits, profit, and all other direct and/or indirect rates) that were initially established at Master Contract award date can only increase from the above Escalation Factor. No other factors shall increase Maximum Rates.
