Rate assumptions exceed SCA floors by 12% without BoE support.
Evaluator testWould a DCAA-trained cost analyst find the Basis of Estimate defensible?
RationaleLabor mix in Cost Volume §2.1 shows rates 8–14% above apparent floor without productivity justification. BoE in §2.4 references a prior effort but doesn't attach the actuals.
Recommended fixAppend BoE exhibits citing actual hours/rates from the referenced prior effort. If rates reflect a retention premium, state it explicitly and tie to risk narrative.
Strong
Funding ask & scope alignment
Scope stays within the TO ceiling; option years priced with clear burn logic.
Acceptable

Acceptable
Evidence quality
Past-performance citations are specific; clinical-outcome claims in §3.2 lack sourcing.
