ProPricer Government Edition(GE)

A Source Selection Cost Analysis application that
supports industry specified content and material.

• What-if Rate and Technical analysis
• Normalization of Bidders’ Direct and Indirect Cost Elements
• Most Probable Cost Analysis
• Preparation of briefing reports

Government Agencies chose ProPricer GE to handle many of the mission critical tasks assigned to the Source Selection process:

Cost Data Collection and Management

ProPricer GE utilities enable the automatic import of contractor estimates, rate extensions and basis of estimate text and backup files. The system can import data files created by ProPricer, Excel or other pricing applications – both ASCII and XML formats are supported. When contractors update their cost and pricing data, the government analysts can incorporate the new data and report the changes in minutes, rather than days.

Most Probable Cost and Independent Cost Analysis

ProPricer GE enables analysts to quickly and efficiently apply government recommended forward pricing rates and incorporate the results of technical analyses to prepare most probable cost positions. ProPricer GE can also be used to formulate the Government’s independent cost positions.

Normalized Bidder Data

ProPricer GE gives analysts the ability to normalize direct and indirect cost elements from the different contractors competing in the source selection process. Once the contractors’ common cost elements are defined, accurate and efficient comparative analysis reports are created at summary or detailed levels of the WBS.

Briefing Reports and Documentation

ProPricer GE includes source selection briefing reports and procurement file documentation reports. Contractor comparison reports of each most probable cost position can be generated by CLIN, WBS or other meaningful segregations. The system also includes the ProPricer set of over 60 standard reports, the ability to create Ad-hoc report layouts, and the custom report writer.

Increasing Productivity

Building Winning Cost Proposals Begins With Your Estimating and Engineering Teams

As a companion product to ProPricer Standard Edition (SE), ProPricer Estimator Edition (EE) is a low cost, easy-to-learn, fully integrated solution for Cost Estimators. Learned in less than an hour, now estimates can be made part of the pricing review process seamlessly. ProPricer EE replaces manual, non-integrated estimating, eliminates duplicate data entry, and replaces it with standardized efficiency.

Proposal teams can maximize performance improvement by:

• Allowing functional groups to make cost estimates simply and accurately with a single point of entry.
• Creating a live, collaborate staging area for estimates so teams can see how the proposal develops and identify and remove duplicates.
• Identifying all tasks with a specific basis of estimate (BOE) that relates directly to any WBS, CLIN, or SOW.

By enabling Estimating teams to review and rework Materials, Labor, Travel, and other Indirect Costs, your company’s resource estimates are inputted directly to your ProPricer database solution. This means real-time cost estimating to real-time pricing, saving countless hours of input, re-input, validation, and error correction. Estimator Edition is flexible by offering the ability to input estimates directly into the proposal, or into a separate database/staging area, which can then be reviewed and seamless imported into your pricing proposal.

Designed to help Government analysts and auditors

• Evaluate contractor cost proposal data
• Apply rate and technical analysis
• Create most probable cost and negotiation positions
• Perform sophisticated project what-if analyses

ProPricer, AE was evolved from the standard commercial edition of ProPricer, and includes the utilities and features used by industry, Government auditors, and analysts. Understanding programs means that Cost and Price Analysts and Auditors must perform their roles efficiently, consistently and with high levels of accuracy. Will your Acquisition Workforce produce and improve the same way ProPricer has helped the industry improve Pricing Analyst productivity? We believe so. Here’s why:

Key Benefits

1. Powerful What-if Capabilities: ProPricer utilities enable fast and accurate analysis of alternate project scenarios
2. Improve Acquisition Workforce Productivity: Professional staff produces more output, in less time, with improved accuracy
3. Version Tracking: Iterations of vendor cost positions are retained, traceable and reproducible
4. Prepare Briefing Reports: Existing and new ProPricer layouts support briefing report preparation
5. Automate Data Transfer: Contractor supplied data files are imported into ProPricer Audit in minutes.
6. Industry Proven: ProPricer AE functions build on proven, feature-rich ProPricer Standard Edition.

Like all ProPricer applications, ProPricer Audit Edition uses a relational table database, enabling the analysis and reporting functions to be precise and powerful. Analysts can quickly and accurately manipulate or report proposal data by fiscal year, by work breakdown structure, by contract line item, by major or minor cost element – or by any other meaningful segregation of data.

With data rich screens that facilitate data review, understanding and editing, the interface has a familiar Windows look and feel with intuitive, spreadsheet-like grids. Contractor Basis of Estimate rationale and supporting cost and pricing documentation are stored directly in the database and transferred to the analyst/auditor along with all the resource estimates and the direct and indirect rates.

Transfer of ProPricer contractor cost proposal data to the Government analyst/auditor is accomplished using proven procedures. The Contractor cost model is copied exactly, thereby eliminating duplicate data entry by the contractor and/or the Government.

Are You Frustrated With A Complicated Pricing System That Is Difficult To Learn And Use?

Easy-To-Learn, Intuitive, Windows-based system with user-friendly screens.  We know that pricing departments are busy and always under a “time-crunch”.  You don’t have the luxury of taking a lot of time to use your complex system.  You need a system that is intuitive!

Government contracting software, including spreadsheets and in-house proposal pricing systems, can be very difficult to use and make even the simplest proposal projects challenging. Even the simplest system changes may require a programmer or spreadsheet guru. Making changes to spreadsheet calculations or in-house pricing tool systems can introduce bigger problems than you are trying to solve. You are never 100% sure if a spreadsheet is accurate.

This is a common frustration that we hear from pricers who are using in-house and spreadsheet solutions when they could be using a proven, easy-to-use government contracting software system. As you know, developing a complex spreadsheet requires a “guru” with spreadsheet expertise. It can be difficult to set up intricate formulas and be sure that they are properly calculating throughout large complicated spreadsheets.  This can lead to costly price proposal errors that our industry leading proposal pricing software tool could easily avoid.

ProPricer government contracting software allows users to quickly and easily summarize data, make changes and fix errors to proposals.  Have total confidence that the data you have entered is calculating accurately with the ProPricer pricing tool. However, when changes are needed, they can be done very quickly, without the need to burn the “midnight-oil”. With ProPricer proposal pricing software, you can easily correct an error and the pricing system can automatically reflect the change throughout the entire proposal… in just seconds. Stop spending countless hours making changes and fixing errors.

As an integral part of improving processes, controls, and output, EBS’ ProPricer training courses can immediately bring your proposal team up to speed on many of the key features that have made the product so successful to date.  Divided into two curriculums, each a four-day course, held at two locations on the west and east coast.

“After doing extensive research we determined that ProPricer was the best pricing solution for us. I was familiar with ProPricer because our Gulf Coast operation has used it for the past 7 years. I spent over 3 months reviewing other pricing systems to determine which one would meet our needs the best and we selected ProPricer”.

“ProPricer is very, very easy to use. I am familiar with several pricing systems, which I have used over the years. Once we began using ProPricer it simplified our entire pricing system. It is so easy to learn that initially I did not go through any training, but was able to immediately begin using it on all of our proposals.”
