Prior awards sit in different folders and formats, so the comparables are whichever ones somebody remembered.

With the agentOne price picture

Every prior award for this commodity in the attached record, with unit rates and terms as the documents state them.

How it works

Lays out what the attached record shows about price: prior awards, unit rates and the terms agreed. The independent estimate stays the officer’s.

The comparables an estimate is built from, copied as the record states them. The estimate itself stays the officer’s.

01

It only reads what you attached

Prior solicitations, awards and invoices from your own record. No market index and no outside pricing.

02

It normalizes the unit

Bids priced per square foot, per month and per visit are restated in one unit so the numbers can sit beside each other.

03

It shows the terms behind each price

A lower rate with a shorter term or a smaller scope is not the same comparable, so the terms travel with the number.

04

You write the estimate

It reports what the record says. The independent cost estimate, and the judgment in it, belongs to the officer.

What it will not do

Research only. It copies what the attached record states and shows the terms behind each figure. The independent cost estimate stays with the officer.
