LER-RATE

A Labor Evaluation Rate is the rate used to evaluate labor costs in proposals, which may differ from actual proposed rates. LER-RATE establishes standardized rates for cost comparisons to ensure fair evaluation across offerors.

Understanding LER-RATE application helps contractors prepare proposals responsive to evaluation approaches. LER-RATE usage normalizes labor cost evaluation when actual rates vary among offerors. Solicitations specify whether actual or evaluation rates apply.
