Unrestricted/Full and Open Competition
Partial Small Business Set-Aside
Unrestricted/Full and Open Competition CBRN Defense - CBRN Laboratories
The FY 2019 customer shared direct cost (CSDC) rate is 1.0%. DTIC’s CSDC is assessed each year by the IAC Reimbursable Review Board in consultation with general counsel and the OUSD comptroller and will be adjusted annually; as such, the CSDC rate may fluctuate during the course of the delivery order. At no time should it be expected that the CSDC is 0% for the life of the project. The customer shared direct cost (CSDC) is not a fee paid to DTIC. CSDC is the additional amount paid by customers for MIPR processing and accounting support, contracting office support, and program management support directly related to supporting customer-funded efforts (IAC MAC Task Orders and BCO Task Orders). CSDC is used to pay for the direct costs associated with running the IAC program and does not include any indirect costs. Funding going on contract for IAC MAC Task Orders and BCO Task Orders may be accepted as direct cite or reimbursable however, the CSDC must always be accepted as reimbursable. CSDC is earned by DTIC to cover the costs of processing customer orders. Once earned and collected, CSDC will not be returned, even if the order is eventually cancelled by the customer.
MIPRs submitted to DTIC should contain two line items in section 7b:
- IAC MAC Task Order or BCO Task Order funding. This is the amount of funding that will be placed on contract and used by the contractor to perform the tasks in the performance work statement.
- CSDC funding. This is a percentage of the amount of funding that will be placed on contract. This percentage amount is paid to DTIC to cover the costs of processing customer orders.
When calculating the CSDC, multiply the amount of funding that will be placed on contract (whole dollars only, no cents) by 0.01.
For example:
  $150,000.00 to be added to the contract task order;
Multiply 150,000 by 0.01 = 1,500
$1,500.00 is the CSDC amount
Add 1,500.00 and 150,000.00 for a MIPR total of $151,500.00
$150,000.00 - Funds on task order for IAC support
$1,500.00 - CSDC of 1.0%
$151,500.00 - Total on MIPR
BCO TASK ORDER OVERVIEW
Scope:
A BCO Task Order may be initiated to acquire a scientific or technical analysis effort or associated technology. All BCO Task Orders must have an analytical component and generate new useable scientific and technical information (STI) or other knowledge. The following criteria shall be met:

|
Benefit the Government based on the technical/technologist expertise available at the IAC. |
- Fast, flexible, and low cost
- Incremental Funding for severable orders
- Up to 12 month period of performance
- $1M maximum ceiling (depending on BCO)
- Allow flexibility for contract types of CPFF and FFP

Unrestricted/Full and Open Competition
Partial Small Business Set-Aside
Unrestricted/Full and Open Competition CBRN Defense - CBRN LaboraBTORies
The FY 2018 provisional customer shared direct cost (CSDC) rate is 1.2%. DTIC’s CSDC is assessed each year by the IAC Reimbursable Review Board in consultation with general counsel and the OUSD comptroller and will be adjusted annually; as such, the CSDC rate may fluctuate during the course of the delivery order. At no time should it be expected that the CSDC is 0% for the life of the project. The customer shared direct cost (CSDC) is not a fee paid to DTIC. CSDC is the additional amount paid by customers for MIPR processing and accounting support, contracting office support, and program management support directly related to supporting customer-funded efforts (technical area tasks, core analysis tasks, etc.). CSDC is used to pay for the direct costs associated with running the IAC program and does not include any indirect costs. Funding going on contract for technical area tasks (TATs) or core analysis tasks (CATs) may be accepted as direct cite or reimbursable however, the CSDC must always be accepted as reimbursable. CSDC is earned by DTIC to cover the costs of processing customer orders. Once earned and collected, CSDC will not be returned, even if the order is eventually cancelled by the customer.
MIPRs submitted to DTIC should contain two line items in section 7b:
- IAC TAT or CAT funding. This is the amount of funding that will be placed on contract and used by the contracBTOR to perform the tasks in the performance work statement.
- CSDC funding. This is a percentage of the amount of funding that will be placed on contract. This percentage amount is paid to DTIC to cover the costs of processing customer orders.
When calculating the CSDC, multiply the amount of funding that will be placed on contract (in whole dollars only - no cents) by 0.012. For example:
$150,000.00 to be added to DS-15-0038 for contracBTOR support
$150,000.00 x 0.012 = $1,800.00
$1,800.00 is 1.2% of $150,000.00 therefore, $1,800.00 is the CSDC amount
Then add $1,800.00 and $150,000.00 for a MIPR total of $151,800.00
$150,000.00 - Funds on contact for IAC support to DS-15-0038
$1,800.00 - Required FY18 CSDC of 1.2%
$151,800.00 - Total of MIPR
