SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build IGCEs for Firm-Fixed-Price contracts using a structured wrap-rate buildup that separates direct labor, fringe, overhead, G&A, and profit, delivering auditable cost models and defensible pricing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered wrap-rate buildup for each labor category with auditable cost pools.
  • Cross-reference with BLS OEWS wages, CALC+ median/percentiles, and GSA Per Diem to validate rates.
  • SOW-driven workflows and multi-location weighting, with travel and ODC considerations.
  • Export a multi-sheet Excel workbook with reproducible formulas and escalation.

Quick Start

Provide labor categories, performance location, and period of performance to generate a complete FFP IGCE using the default workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an FFP IGCE with layered wrap rates for government contracting?

Build an FFP IGCE by structuring layered wrap-rate buildups that separate direct labor, fringe, overhead, G&A, and profit to generate auditable cost models and defensible pricing for Firm-Fixed-Price contracts.

How do I validate labor rates and per diem costs for an Independent Government Cost Estimate?

Validate IGCE labor rates and per diem costs by cross-referencing BLS OEWS wage data, CALC+ median and percentile statistics, and GSA Per Diem data across multiple performance locations.

Can I generate a multi-sheet Excel workbook with reproducible formulas for SOW-driven pricing?

Generate a multi-sheet Excel workbook that applies SOW-driven workflows, reproducible formulas, escalation, and travel cost detail across multiple labor categories and performance locations.

What is the best way to calculate escalation and travel costs for a Firm-Fixed-Price contract model?

Calculate escalation and travel costs for FFP contract models by integrating GSA Per Diem data and applying structured wrap-rate buildups within an exported multi-sheet Excel workbook.

Do I need to provide SOW details and performance locations to create an FFP IGCE?

Provide labor categories, performance location, and period of performance to generate a complete FFP IGCE using the default SOW-driven workflow with multi-location weighting.

Why use a layered wrap-rate buildup instead of a flat rate for government cost estimates?

Use a layered wrap-rate buildup to separate direct labor, fringe, overhead, G&A, and profit into auditable cost pools, delivering more defensible pricing than flat-rate estimating.
