Quick win

In 60–90 minutes, you’ll have a first-pass BoE structure you can actually use:

• A CLIN/WBS map that ties work to the SOW

• A BoE workbook populated with your major cost elements

• A narrative outline you can paste into your cost volume

(Then you refine with your program-specific details.)

Here’s what you get

1) BoE & Pricing Workbook (Excel)

A CLIN/WBS-driven workbook that helps you document the “why” behind each number—not just the total.

Includes tabs to build and roll-up:

• CLIN/WBS summary view

• Labor, Materials/ODCs, Subcontracts, Travel/Other

• Metrics / sanity checks (e.g., $/FTE or $/unit comparisons)

Labor rate assumption:
By default, the workbook assumes your Base_Rate is fully burdened for that labor category (overhead, fringe, G&A, etc.).

2) BoE Narrative Template (Word)

A ready-to-use narrative structure that mirrors how evaluators and auditors expect to read your BoE: purpose/scope, WBS traceability, estimating methods, data sources, assumptions, risk, and cross-checks.

3) BoE Quick-Start Guide (Word)

A step-by-step guide showing how to:

• Define CLINs/WBS and trace to the SOW

• Populate each cost element with method + data source + assumptions

• Roll-up and validate totals

• Draft the narrative so the workbook and text match FedContractPros_BoE_Quick_Start…

Also includes the “government cost-realism lens” so you can stress-test your estimate before they do.

4) BoE Example Pack (Word) — Generic Service + Generic Product

Two high-level, practical examples that show how to structure a BoE for:

• A generic service contract (e.g., professional services / IT support)

• A generic product delivery (e.g., commercial equipment + limited setup/training)

Each example includes a sample CLIN/WBS structure and guidance on what belongs in labor vs. materials/BOM vs. travel/subs.

Here’s what it will do for you

If you’ve ever lost hours (or days) scrambling to justify pricing, this toolkit helps you:

• Turn pricing into a defensible cost story (methods, data sources, assumptions, risks) the Government can follow.

• Create traceability from SOW → WBS → CLIN → cost elements (so your numbers don’t look “made up”).

• Reduce cost-realism vulnerability by running your own checks and documenting your rationale before evaluation.

• Standardize your internal process so you’re not reinventing the BoE every proposal cycle.

This is designed to deliver a quick win or two—a usable BoE structure and narrative framework—without overwhelming you with “theory.”

Who this is for

This is for you if you’re:

• A small business federal contractor building your cost volume in-house

• A BD/proposal lead who needs consistent pricing documentation

• A pricing analyst who wants a repeatable structure for services or products

Not ideal if: you want a complete pricing model for a specific agency’s unique format with no customization—this toolkit is intentionally generic so it fits most bids quickly.
