Common use of Ceiling Rates for T Clause in Contracts

Ceiling Rates for T. M and L-H Task Orders‌ When preparing solicitations for T&M and/or L-H task order Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), the OCO must select one of the following provisions in the task order solicitation. 1. FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition With Adequate Price Competition 2. FAR 52.216-30 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition Without Adequate Price Competition 3. FAR 52.216-31 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Commercial ItemAcquisition For organizations within DoD, when selecting FAR 52.216-29, the OCO must also select DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A. When the provision FAR 52.216-30,Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements--Non Commercial Item Acquisitions Without Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements--Commercial Item Acquisition is selected and there is an exception to fair opportunity, OASIS establishes maximum allowable labor rates in the form of fully burdened ceiling rates for all professional, non-ancillary, CONUS, T&M/L-H labor for both Government and Contractor Sites. Based on the specific task order requirements, the OCO is authorized to exceed the OASIS ceiling rates for those labor categories that include Secret/Top Secret/SCI labor and/or OCONUS locations, if necessary. The ceiling rates do not apply when the provision FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements— Non-Commercial Item Acquisition With Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-29 with DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A, is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements-Commercial Item Acquisition is selected and there is not an exception to fair opportunity. The fully burdened T&M ceiling rates awarded at initial contract award shall serve as the basis for all future year pricing for those ceiling rates. In order to determine future year ceiling 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) Economic Cost Index (ECI) for the previous three years. In Year 5 of OASIS, if the average annual ECI for the previous three years is higher than at time of OASIS award, the ceiling rates for Years 6 through 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 OASIS, the ceiling 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 OASIS is equal to or below the BLS ECI index at time of award, the ceiling rates will remain unchanged. In Year 10 of OASIS, if the previous three year average annual BLS ECI index for the previous three years is higher than Year 5 of OASIS, the ceiling rates for 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 ceiling rates will remain unchanged. The OASIS ceiling rates that are in effect at the time a task order is awarded shall remain with the task order award during the entire term of the task order, including task orders with option periods. See Section F.3., Period of Performance, for OASIS and task orders awarded under XXXXX.

If the average index in Year 10 is equal to or below the average index in Year 5, the ceiling rates will remain unchanged. The OASIS SB ceiling rates that are in effect at the time a task order is awarded shall remain with the task order award during the entire term of the task order, including task orders with option periods. See Section F.3., Period of Performance, for OASIS SB and task orders awarded under XXXXXOASIS SB.

Ceiling Rates for T. M and L-H Task Orders‌ When preparing solicitations for T&M and/or L-H task order Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), the OCO must select one of the following provisions in the task order solicitation. 1. FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition With Adequate Price Competition 2. FAR 52.216-30 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition Without Adequate Price Competition 3. FAR 52.216-31 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Commercial ItemAcquisition For organizations within DoD, when selecting FAR 52.216-29, the OCO must also select DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A. When the provision FAR 52.216-30,Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements--Non Commercial Item Acquisitions Without Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements--Commercial Item Acquisition is selected and there is an exception to fair opportunity, OASIS establishes maximum allowable labor rates in the form of fully burdened ceiling rates for all professional, non-ancillary, CONUS, T&M/L-H labor for both Government and Contractor Sites. Based on the specific task order requirements, the OCO is authorized to exceed the OASIS ceiling rates for those labor categories that include Secret/Top Secret/SCI labor and/or OCONUS locations, if necessary. The ceiling rates do not apply when the provision FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements— Non-Commercial Item Acquisition With Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-29 with DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A, is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements-Commercial Item Acquisition is selected and there is not an exception to fair opportunity. The fully burdened T&M ceiling rates awarded at initial contract award shall serve as the basis for all future year pricing for those ceiling rates. In order to determine future year ceiling 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) Economic Cost Index (ECI) for the previous three years. In Year 5 of OASIS, if the average annual ECI for the previous three years is higher than at time of OASIS award, the ceiling rates for Years 6 through 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 OASIS, the ceiling 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 OASIS is equal to or below the BLS ECI index at time of award, the ceiling rates will remain unchanged. In Year 10 of OASIS, if the previous three year average annual BLS ECI index for the previous three years is higher than Year 5 of OASIS, the ceiling rates for 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 ceiling rates will remain unchanged. The OASIS ceiling rates that are in effect at the time a task order is awarded shall remain with the task order award during the entire term of the task order, including task orders with option periods. See Section F.3., Period of Performance, for OASIS and task orders awarded under XXXXXOASIS.
