To build an IGCE for cost-reimbursement contracts, map labor categories to SOC codes, pull BLS OEWS wage data and CALC+ rates, apply escalation, and output a multi-sheet Excel workbook with cost buildup and validation.

A CPFF or CPAF cost estimate requires BLS OEWS wage data, CALC+ ceiling rates, and GSA Per Diem data. These inputs are aged to the period of performance and combined with SOW-driven labor categories for cost pool buildup.

Validating cost estimates against CALC+ rates involves comparing your burdened wage calculations to mid-range CALC+ ceiling rates. The tool generates a three-scenario cost analysis and a dedicated rate validation worksheet.

Yes, you can calculate travel costs using GSA Per Diem rates within an IGCE. The tool models per diem travel costs based on the performance location and includes a dedicated travel details sheet in the final Excel workbook.

Required inputs include labor categories, performance location, period of performance, and basic SOW-driven parameters. These allow the estimator to pull wage data, apply fringe/overhead/G&A multipliers, and project escalation across years.

Yes, the tool supports CPIF contract cost analysis by generating three-scenario cost outputs. It applies SOW-driven decomposition to produce auditable cost and price outputs for CPFF, CPAF, and CPIF structures.
