CIO-SP3 and CIO-SP3 Small Business Fee Cap Memorandum

NCAF is applied to all line items in the proposal whether they are for labor, ODCs, Direct Materials, Incentive Fee, Fixed Fee, Award Fee, or other (total proposal amount). Reference NIH Contract Access Fee and Fee Remittance in your contract. 

Per the contract, the contractor shall include the NCAF as a separate Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) in all contractor proposals to the government, regardless of pricing arrangements used.  

Reference NIH Contract Access Fee and Fee Remittance in your contract.  Payments are due to NIH/NITAAC on or before the 10th calendar day of each month for all payments received from the government in the previous month.  Payments will only be accepted through the Department of Treasury’s secure government-wide collection portal Pay.gov at https://www.pay.gov/paygov/. Contact your financial institution/bank to establish an account authorizing Automated Clearing House (ACH) Direct Debit payments to Pay.gov.

No, the fee cap memos apply only to the NIH Contract Access Fee (NCAF) on our GWACs.

The NIH Contract Access Fee (NCAF) for the CIO-SP3 contract is .65% with a cap of $150,000 for any task order base or optional period (not to exceed 12 months) with funding in excess of $23 Million.
