Manage Your Cost/Price Submission


Purpose: This guide helps you successfully upload and certify the cost/price information for your proposal. It ensures you use the correct template and follow strict document requirements for system validation.


Table of Contents

1. Go to Cost/Price in My Company

2. Upload Pricing Documents

3. Review and Submit Pricing Data  


Before You Start

Make sure you know the following crucial facts before you proceed:

  • Cost/Price requirements (like the Basis of Estimate or Labor Rate Attestation) are unique to each solicitation.
  • Symphony requires one Excel template (.xlsx file type) and one accompanying PDF document.


Warning: There are no restricted viewing roles. Manage active user accounts accordingly. To limit access, upload sensitive information as your final step before submission.
Warning: Do not remove any columns or rows from the OASIS+ template, as this will cause validation errors. OASIS+ stands for One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus.

Troubleshooting

Issue

Fix

Spreadsheet is missing or the wrong file type.

Verify the file type is .xlsx. The submission requires one Excel file and one PDF file.

Incorrect number of files/sheets or missing data.

Upload only one Excel spreadsheet. Check that no columns or rows were removed from the template.

Missing Basis of Estimate (OASIS+) or Labor Rate Attestation (Alliant 3).

Upload the required supporting PDF documentation for the contract vehicle.

The system displays an Unable to load the Pricing File error.

The file is likely password-protected or encrypted. Remove the protection.

Other data validation issues are visible.

Check for unintended formatting changes (especially if copy/pasting was used) and ensure data is complete in accordance with the solicitation.
