Purpose
To develop an assessment of the probable cost of supplies or services
being acquired to ensure NIAID has enough funds, and help determine the
reasonableness of an offeror's proposed
costs and understanding of the work.
Procedure
Program staff work with contract
specialists to develop an independent
government cost estimate (IGCE) as part of the acquisition plan. The IGCE consists of a cost breakdown of cost factors required
for a contractor to complete the statement
of work, including an estimate of technical staff labor categories,
hours, and rates; direct material and supplies; subcontracting; consultant
services; travel; indirect rates; and profit and fee.
The HHS
Project Officers' Handbook provides steps to develop a detailed
IGCE. It also includes a sample format.
