Preparing for a Price Change TransactionPREPARING FOR A PRICE CHANGE TRANSACTIONReview the most recent PLIMS Data Extract to ensure the project data in PLIMS has current data as follows:• Pricing Memorandum Number 2 (PR-2) should be consulted for Commission definitions, policy, and

procedures as they pertain to AbilityOne products.• Unit of Issue – Ensure the “unit of issue” of record is accurate, usually by the most recent notice and/or data

extract. Changes to the unit of issue must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.• Product Description - Ensure the product’s description is accurate and complete. Different NSNs cannot have

identical descriptions. Changes to the product description must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.

• NSN Name – Ensure the product’s name is accurate and complete. Different National Stock Number (NSNs) cannot have identical names. Changes to the product name must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.

• NSN – Ensure the NSN(s) per the concurrence documents match the NSN(s) to be included in the price change. If part of the request is to also update the NSN(s) from Temporary to Permanent NSN(s), and both sets of NSNs are listed on the concurrence documents, then a change Product NSN transaction must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change request.

• Multiple Contracting Activities/Nonprofit Agencies (NPAs) – Ensure: • All concurrence documents are signed by the agency addressed on the document. • All agencies on the Procurement List (PL) have concurred to the proposed prices and/or price change

mechanisms.• Contracting Activity – Ensure the Contracting Officer who signed the concurrence document is from the same

agency on the PL. If needed, a Change Product CA or an Add Product CA must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.

• CA Code – Ensure the CA code corresponds to appropriate Contracting Activity. Changes to the Contracting Activity must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.

• List Type – Ensure the list type for the AbilityOne commercial distribution system is correct. Changes to the list type must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.

• All documentation required for price change must be submitted with the price change. Any documentation whether wholly or in part missing from price change submissions will be returned for correction. Emails separate from the transaction are not acceptable means of providing price change attachments.

CREATE A NEW PRODUCT PRICE CHANGE PACKAGEThese instructions are for a Product Price Change Package.

To start a new package, you can either Click on Create a New Package from your IS home page, OR Click on Create a New Package from the top of your inbox screen. After completing this step, there are two (2) options:• Option 1: Select ‘Price Change’ from the drop down menu and click on ‘Create Package’. This option will

create a new price change package.• Option 2: Browse to select a previous file from an existing package, and click upload to open that package

information.


PRE-PACKAGE STEPPrice Change Type

Scroll up and find the box labeled “Price Change Type” under the “Price Change” tab. The default is ‘Service Price Change’. Use the arrow next to the box to open the box and click on “Product Price Change”. Click the Save button.

Make sure the Product Price Change Type is selected, before the CBSD 1005 is imported.

IMPORTING THE CBSD 1005 – If there are many NSNs, importing the information from a formatted CBSD 1005 may be the better option. Importing the CBSD 1005 will populate the fields in the Pricing Tab. Use the CBSD 1005 template that is compatible with IS to upload the pricing information.

To Import the CBSD 1005, Click the Import Data link at the bottom of the page, then Click the Browse button and select your CBSD file.



For SourceAmerica:To import the CBSD 1005, scroll to the bottom of the page. Click the ‘Import Data’ link, then click the browse button and select the file. Once selected, click the ‘Import CBSD 1005 Data’ link. If the CBSD 1005 is in the correct format, a Message, “Import Successful” will appear. Click OK. Then click ‘Return to Edit Package.’ If an error message appears, it is likely that the CBSD 1005 is not in the correct format.

For NIB:The following message will appear asking which worksheet on the Excel file to upload – Choose the CBSD 1005 Pricing Info and Click OK.

If an error message appears, it is likely that the CBSD 1005 is not in the correct format.

IMPORTING NPA DATA – Select the NPA from the drop down list and click Import NPA Data, then Return to Edit Package. The NPA’s address and phone number will populate in the NPA tab under the Projects Tab.

Note: NIB users can import data while SourceAmerica users currently do not have this capabil-ity.


Package InformationEDIT PRICE CHANGE PACKAGE 2211

To change the PL number and add that number to the Project Control Number (PCN) go to the package and Click the Request-Edit PL#/ PCN link.

PL Number – This is the PL Number for the NSNs, as listed on the PLIMS Extract supplied by the Commission. Click Save when done.

If there are multiple PL Numbers associated with the NSN, you may leave this blank. Please note that this is not a required field; it is optional.



PACKAGE DATA: Once you have clicked “Edit in full-screen mode,” IS will display the following screen.

Use the legend that follows to assist with completing the data fields. 1. CNA ID System defaults to the appropriate Central Nonprofit Agency (CNA).

2. CNA USER System automatically populates the CNA and user name of the package creator when Option 1 is selected to create a new package. If Option 2 is selected, revise each field to reflect the correct user, if necessary. Any submission with “ISTestUser” will be rejected.

3. IS RESUBMISSION? If the price change package is being submitted for the first time you should select ‘N’ to show the package is being submitted for the first time. If the package is being resubmitted select ‘Y.’

4. OLD TRANSACTION I.D. Enter the last transaction number of the last submission. If this is the first time the package is being submitted, leave this field blank. The Old Transaction ID will be noted in e-mail correspondence from Commission staff, or it can be found in the View submission history link of the package (Messages from the Commission).

5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Briefly summarize any information that Commission staff should assess during their review of the price change package, especially any information that would facilitate an easier review of the transaction. Keep in mind that the Commission staff was not involved in the pricing and negotiation process. Therefore, users should attempt to fill in any gaps of information that are not readily discernible in the transaction.

The Executive Summary should contain the following information (see Appendix 3):1. The Contracting Activity’s contact information (name, email, and telephone number) if it is not provided in the

transaction fields.2. A reference to special instructions from the Commission staff. 3. A reference to supplementary documentation received directly from the Contracting Activity. 4. A reference to the description of the price change. 5. Explanation or description of any unique and/or unusual circumstances (e.g., Economic Price Adjustment clause).6. Requests for expedited processing, if applicable.

The executive summary should clearly explain the reasons and justification for the price change. The executive summary should not contain a solitary statement of “see attached summary” unless the information described above (1-6) has been entered and the character limitation for this field has been reached (1,000 characters).

Do not copy and paste from MS Office to IS as this will convert to unreadable special characters and the transaction will be returned for correction; IS only accepts text formats. Any strange characters within the Executive Summary will cause the package to be rejected.

Package Data ➤ CNA POCPACKAGE DATA ➤ CNA POC: The CNA Point of Contact (POC) tab information must be entered. The POC is the person whom the Commission staff will initially direct questions. Be sure to save and validate before moving to the next tab on this screen and all subsequent screens.



Package Data ➤ CNA CertificationPACKAGE DATA ➤ CNA CERTIFICATION: Enter the name, title and region of the CNA representative with delegated authority for IS/PLIMS signature. S/he certifies the package has been reviewed and submits the package to the Commission.

(The list of delegated authority is updated as needed and provided to the Commission staff. The Commission staff will reject a transaction if the name does not appear on the Delegation List or aware that the person is no longer employed by the CNA. The CNA certifier for PLIMS may not be the same individual who submits the IS transaction to PLIMS, or who signs the CBSD 1005-A on behalf of the CNA).

The signature date is the date the package is submitted to Commission Staff.


Package Data ➤ Package InformationPACKAGE DATA ➤ PACKAGE INFORMATION

1. PACKAGE INFORMATION System defaults to Price Change Request.

2. PRICE CHANGE TYPESelect Product Price Change.

3. PRICE CHANGE OPTIONSelect “FMP Only,” “Freight Only,” or “Both” depending on what is being requested in the transaction.

“FMP Only” should be selected when the price change request includes changes to the FMP only. Changes apply to any of the fields under the Price Label: Unit of Issue, Price Category, or the FMP: FOB Origin, Freight Amount, FOB destination.

“Freight Only” should be selected when the price change request includes changes to products in the AbilityOne Commercial Distribution System. It only pertains to fields under the Commercial Distributors label: MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) or Freight.

“Both” should be selected when the price change request includes changes to any of the fields under the Price Label and the Commercial Distributors Label.

Note: Freight under the Commercial Distributor label is different than Freight under the Price label. Commercial Distributor Freight is paid by authorized wholesalers and distributors when purchasing products from nonprofit agencies for resale to Federal customers. The FMP Freight is paid by entities of the Federal Government to pay nonprofit agencies when they purchase products directly from the agencies.

10. EFFECTIVE DATEEnter the date that the parties would like the prices effective. Note that the final effective date determined by the Commission may be different.

11. UNIT OF ISSUEEnter the Unit of Issue. This is a two letter code and must be in capital letters. See Appendix 5 for the Commission-approved list (Source: GSAAdvantage). If the Contracting Activity requires a code not on the list then a note should be added to the Executive Summary.

12. PRICE CATEGORY The Price Category defines a single NSN’s price designation. A Price Category may not be used to distinguish prices for product characteristics, contracting activities or nonprofit agencies. Consult the Commission Staff before creating price categories that do not meet the examples in Appendix 6 (See Appendix 6 examples).

13. FMPMake sure that the number of decimal places for the FMP follows the Commission’s Pricing Memorandum Number 2: four decimals for prices less than $0.05, three decimals for prices greater than $0.05, but less than $0.50, two decimals for prices greater than $0.50, and zero decimals for prices greater than $1,000.

14. FOB ORIGINEnter the Free on Board (FOB) origin price. The price should match the CBSD 1005 and should be consistent with all other supporting documents.

15. FREIGHT AMOUNT Enter the freight amount that is applicable to each NSN that will be shipped from the NPA to a designated place by the Contracting Activity. The Freight with must match the CBSD 1005 and should be consistent amongst all other supporting documents.

16. FOB DESTINATION Enter the Free On Board (FOB) Destination price. The FOB Destination price must equal the FOB Origin plus the Freight Amount. The FOB Destination price must match the CBSD 1005 and should be consistent with all other supporting documents.

Commercial Distributors - The next fields apply to NSNs that are included in the AbilityOne Commer¬cial Distribution Channel (Multiple Award Schedule [MAS] System).

If a product has multiple periods (Base and Option Years) and the product will be included in the MAS System then MAS MOQ and Freight amounts must be entered on the lowest priced category. As options are exercised, a price change must be submitted to move the MAS information to the new price category. Failure to update the MAS Info will cause the product to be omitted from the Quarterly price change list.

17. MOQ Enter the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). The MOQ should be identical to information on the CBSD 1005.

Note: The MOQ is the number of units required for each purchase as determined by the NPA. For example, if the unit of issue (“UOI”) is a package (“PK”) of 12, and purchases must be made in quantities of 25 packages, the MOQ should be 25 and not 12.


18. FREIGHT AMOUNTEnter the freight amount. The freight should be substantiated with detailed worksheets.Note: If you have multiple price categories, review uploaded information and edit as appropriate or click on “New” below the Price Record to enter a new price record. Repeat this step as many times as needed.

The next three fields labeled “Base Price”, “Base Index” and Base Date” must be completed if the Price Change Mechanism, “ProducerPriceIndexChange” is selected. The Base Price, Base Date and Base Index will be specified in the price concurrence documents completed and signed by the Contracting Officer. See Appendix 4 for additional details on Producer Price Index.

19. BASE PRICEThe Base Price is the Recommended Fair Market Price (FMP) FOB Origin price for the Base Year. This price is valid for five years or used as the basis for annual pricing for five years, unless otherwise negotiated with the Contracting Officer.

20. BASE INDEXThe Base Index is the PPI Value from Index established at the time of most recent PPI value from the Bureau of Labor of Statistics website.

21. BASE DATEThe Base Date is the date that the Contracting Officer signs the Price Concurrence document (CBSD 1005-A). It is reset every five years, when the Recommended FMP FOB Origin Base Price is reviewed and the parties agree to use PPI as the price change mechanism.

22. NOTESEnter any additional information, for the Commission’s review, that relates to that NSN only. CERTIFICATIONEnter the Name and Title of the NPA representative (generally the President/CEO) who signed the Price Concurrence document for this transaction. Enter the signature date as reflected on the price concurrence document.

Click Save and Validate. Click ‘Go back to normal mode” to attach documents to this package. For list of Attachments, see Appendix 1



Appendix 1Required Attachments

The names of the attachment must be clearly identified within the submission as reflected below.

• Commission Formats 1005 and 1005A • Commission Format 1005-B • Price Analysis Documentation • Commercial Marketplace Study • Independent Government Estimate (IGE) • NPA Cost breakdown • Supplier invoices and quotes (See Appendix 2) • Economic Product Adjustment (EPA) Clause • Producer Price Index (PPI) Agreement • Market Survey Price Change Method Approval from Commission staff • Freight Calculation worksheet • Documentation from the freight provider that substantiates information within the worksheet • Executed Subcontract Agreement • Any correspondence with Commission staff or the Federal Customer that would provide additional clarification


Appendix 2Invoices and Quotes

FAR 2.101 describes cost and pricing data as:

“all the facts that can be reasonably expected to contribute to the soundness of estimates of future costs and to the validity of determinations of costs already incurred.”

FAR 15.404-1(c)(2)(B) states that “[v]erification of cost or pricing data and evaluation of cost elements,” for cost analysis, should include the “[p]rojection of the offeror’s cost trends, on the basis of current and historical cost or pricing data” (emphasis added). Accordingly, a recent invoice is preferred as documentation of the material costs associated with the new proposed price.

An invoice should be provided, unless one has not yet been issued, that reflects the actual material cost that will be incurred by the NPA (and that will be reflected in the proposed price). In such instances, a quote from the selected supplier, representing the actual cost the NPA will incur, should be used.

When a quote is provided, it must be valid. If the effective period indicated on the quote has expired, provide an explanation as to why the quote should be considered (e.g., the material components that will be used to manufacture the AbilityOne product were already acquired from the supplier during the effective period indicated on the quote).


Appendix 3Executive Summary Considerations

Communication between CNA and Commission/ Special InstructionsRefer to written, attached guidance from Commission staff related to the transaction, i.e. how to present complex situations, order of transactions, corrections to previous submissions, etc.

Examples of supplementary documentation received directly from federal customers:• Product history information• Web site content • CA codes temporarily used due to government staffing, turnover, etc. Explain why a CA code that is identified

on the award varies from PLIMS, but does not require correction. • Awards made subject to availability of funds, or incrementally funded• Errors made in award document

Examples of unique circumstances:Surge requirementsImpasse process prior to price concurrenceRelated transactions if they are relevant to the transaction. Provide transaction ID numbers.Option Years that exceed a customary 12 month periodDCAA audits conducted prior to price concurrence. Mention in Executive Summary but use FMP method field to summarize any relevant results. New destinations assigned

Executive Summary Examples

Executive Summary: recommended-FMP based upon Negotiations ABC Group and DLC have negotiated a price change for the Product, NSN 1234-56-789-0000. The negotiated price is $145. Contracting Officer: Mary Wash, [email protected], (619) 445-4372.

ABC Group originally proposed $154.46, which represented a $19.00 increase from the previous PL price. Driving the price increase were major raw materials ($9.45 increase) and indirect cost ($8.91 increase).

DLC countered ABC Group’s original offer at $135.00. Through conversation and negotiations both parties agreed on the final contract price.

Executive Summary: Sales to Federal and Nonfederal Entities NPA12 sells NSN 7530-00-123-6879, through their commercial site and to other state agencies. The current contract price through all channels except the Federal Government is $250.00. Nonfederal contract prices will remain the same for 10 years. (See attachments for Nonfederal Contracts)


The current contract price for Federal sales is $225.00. A negotiated price of $240.00 is submitted for approval. Contracting Officer: Henry Wadsworth, [email protected], (528) 334-3261.

Since NPA12 has exclusive rights to the NSN, the parties agreed to a price that did not exceed the commercial price, $250.

Executive Summary: Recommended-FMP based upon NPA’s costs

NPA-X and USD have negotiated a price change for the Product, NSN 2145-47-687-0540. The negotiated price was based solely on the NPA’s costs. Contracting Officer: Ted Bear, [email protected], (527) 226-2156.

The increase in price is related to an increase in raw material, a slight increase in standard allowable hours and an increase in indirect cost as described below:

Raw material (See attachments – Quotes: Raw materials): Steel increased $11.00. Paint increased $14.40. NPA is manufacturing the hinges which decreased the purchased products cost by $5.50, but had a reverse impact on labor cost which increased 8.81%.

Labor Cost: Standard Allowable Hours increased with the move to produce the hinges verses procuring the piece. Per unit cost increased by $1.4853 or 8.81%.

Indirect Cost: NPA was able to either maintain or decrease slightly their current indirect cost elements (Overhead, G&A and CNA fee). Overhead decreased slightly from 125% to 119.25%, both G&A and the CNA fee remained the same (7.6% and 3.85%, respectively).

Executive Summary: RESUBMISSION: Recommended-FMP based upon Negotiations This transaction complies with Commission Staff instructions provided in the previous submission’s rejection email. (See attachment – Commission Returned email for TID 12534).

ABC Group and DLC have negotiated a price change for the Product, NSN 1234-56-789-0000. The negotiated price is $145. Contracting Officer: Mary Wash, [email protected], (619) 445-4372.

ABC Group originally proposed $154.46, which represented a $19.00 increase from the previous PL price. Driving the price increase were major raw materials ($9.45 increase) and indirect cost ($8.91 increase).

DLC countered ABC Group’s original offer at $135.00. Through conversation and negotiations both parties agreed on the final contract price.



Appendix 4Producer Price Index (PPI) Process

TimetablesMid-July each year.Between mid-July and up until the annual notice is transmitted to the Contracting Activities and CNAs, the Commission shall not process any price change requests for products that use PPI as the price change mechanism; therefore, it is essential that PPI price change transactions be submitted prior to mid-July.

August 1 each year.The Commission shall issue an annual price change notice with all the data used to calculate the new product FMPs. These notices must be used to monitor the Base Dates, Series ID, and 25% caps on FMPs.

November 1 each year.The Commission shall publish a PPI Price Change Schedule for the subsequent calendar year that communicates milestone dates. Pursuant to that schedule, the Commission staff shall compute the FMPs for AbilityOne Products that have PPI as the price change mechanism.

Development of an AbilityOne Product’s Initial Recommended-FMP Based on PPI.The Contracting Activity’s and NPA’s agreement to use the price change mechanism of PPI shall include the following three elements for each product:

Series ID;Base Index; and Base Price.

Changes to the Product’s FMPs during the PPI Process Period.The PPI process runs for a period of 5 years (i.e., five years before May 1 of the current year), or until the end of the product’s contract period. The Commission shall use the Series ID, Base Index, and Base Price as the bases for changing future prices within the PPI process. At the end of the 5-year period, the price change mechanism shall be changed to Negotiations and the current FMP shall remain in effect until renegotiated.

If the Contracting Activity, NPAs, and CNAs agree to modify a product’s price within the 5- year period or in cases in which any of the three elements become obsolete, the Contracting Activity, NPAs, and CNAs shall negotiate a new Recommended-FMP in accordance with Commission PR-2 Product’s Recommended-FMP Development.Calculation of FMP for Products Using the PPI Price Change Mechanism.

New FMPs shall be calculated during the month of July using adjustments based on the BLS PPI data for June of the current year, and shall become effective the following January 1. The Commission shall determine the new FMP using the following calculation:

(New June PPI Index – Base Index) + 1 X Base Price = FMP* Base Index

* The new FMP is capped at 1.25% of the Base Price.

{ {


Commission Annual Price Change Notice.

After AbilityOne product prices are computed using the PPI process, the new Annual Price Change Notice for Products using PPI as the price change mechanism shall be generated and transmitted to the Contracting Activities and CNAs. The prices are final and changes are considered out of cycle and the Commission staff will process them according to PR-2.

Appendix 6Examples of Price Categories

COMMON PRICE CATEGORIES:

Definition Example

Normal Annual contract with no options Normal

Normal - DestinationAnnual contract with no options to be delivered to a specific loca-tion

Normal - Tracy, CA

Normal - Destination - (Quantity or Quantity range)

Annual contract with no options to be delivered to a specific location for a certain quantity

Normal - Tracy, CA (1 - 4,000)

Normal - (Quantity or Quantity range)

Annual contract with no options for a certain quantity Normal ( 1 - 4.000)

Base Year - DestinationFirst year of a multiple year con-tract to be delivered to a specific location.

Base Year - Tampa, FL

Base Year- Destination - (Quantity or Quantity range)

First year of a multiple year con-tract to be delivered to a specific location for a certain quantity.

Base Year - Tampa, FL (1 - 6,500)

Base Year - (Quantity or Quantity range)

First year of a multiple year con-tract for a certain quantity. Base Year - (1 - 6,500)

Option Year XX - DestinationInstance that an option is exer-cised on a contract Option Year 1 - Fresno, CA

Option Year XX - Destination (Quantity or Quantity Range)

Instance that an option is exer-cised on a contract and delivery is to be made to a specific loca-tion for a certain quantity.

Option Year 1 - Fresno, CA (10,000 and up)

Option Year XX - (Quantity or Quantity Range)

Instance that an option is exercised on a contract for a certain quantity.

Option Year 1 - (10,000 and up)


APPROVED EXCEPTIONS:

Identifier used within the pricing section to distinguish prices on the Procurement List for identical NSNs.

Option Years or Periods

Example

The Contracting Activity requires the product under a multiple year (period) fixed-priced contract. There will be a base period and 2 options.

IS Entries

Price Category FOB Origin Price Freight FOB Destination Price

Base Price $2.30 $ - $ -

Option Year 1 $2.35 $ - $ -

Option Year 2 $2.40 $ - $ -

The NSN is on a multiple period contract and therefore has 3 different FOB Origin prices. The price category corresponds to the period per the contract.

Quantity Breaks

Example

During negotiations, the Contracting Activity and NPA agreed to discount the NSN price based upon quantities purchased.

IS Entries


Normal - 1 - 1,000 $2.30 $ - $ -

Normal - 1,001 - 2,000

$2.25 $ - $ -

Normal - 2,001 - up $2.20 $ - $ -

The NSN has 3 different prices because of the quantity breaks. Should the federal agency purchase the NSN in the quantities identified within the price category then they would pay the corresponding price.

Multiple Destinations

Example

The Contracting Activity requires the products be delivered to 2 separate warehouses, one in Tracy, CA and the other one in Philadelphia, PA.

IS Entries


Normal - Tracy, CA $2.30 $0.89 $3.19

Normal - Philadelphia, PA

$2.30 $0.59 $2.89

The FOB Origin Price will be the same but the price for Freight will differ because of the 2 locations.


Different Packaging Requirements

Example

The Contracting Activity requires different packaging for the same NSN. There are no changes to the actual product’s specifications. All changes pertain to the packaging.

IS Entries


Normal - Recycled Packaging

$2.39 $ - $ -

Normal - Plastic Wrap

$2.19 $ - $ -

Normal - Loose $2.00 $ - $ -

The NSN has 3 different types of packaging required by the Contracting Activity. The “Normal - Loose” price category is without packaging and therefore its unit price is less than those prices where distinct packaging requirements are needed.

Delivery Requirements (Surge, XX -Day Delivery, One Time Buys)

Example

The Contracting Activity requires a NSN to be delivered based upon a different timing mechanism than what was previously negotiated. This could be due to a surge in their requirement or they need the NSN faster than expected. There are no changes to the actual product’s specifications.

IS Entries


Normal - Surge $3.39 $0.30 $3.69

Normal - 60-day Delivery

$2.89 $0.30 $3.19

Normal - One Time Buys

$2.49 $0.30 $2.79

Normal $2.09 $0.30 $2.39

The NSN has four methods through which the Contracting Activity can purchase the NSN depending on the Contracting Activity’s immediate requirement.

Consult the Commission Staff before creating price categories that do not meet the examples above.
