Price Proposal Template decision map
Use the phrase, but choose the right file
Price proposal template is still a useful phrase because it names the pricing work. But for current Refresh 32-era offers, the actual required file can be the FCP Product File, FCP Services Plus File, or a SIN-specific pricing template.
The first pricing decision is not the rate. It is which template path applies to the offering.
PPT logic is still the spine
The pricing job is still familiar: proposed prices, commercial basis, discounts, support, escalation, and a reviewer-readable explanation. The current files just express that logic in a more structured way.
That is why experienced GSA teams keep both ideas in their heads: old PPT logic, current FCP mechanics.
What this looks like in practice
In practiceA team says PPT, but builds FCP files
The capture lead asks for the PPT because that is the phrase everyone knows. The proposal manager translates the request into the current file set: Product File for product lines, Services Plus File for labor/service lines, and a SIN-specific template where GSA requires one.
That keeps the team speaking naturally while still using the right current artifacts.
Frequently asked questions
Should I search for PPT or FCP?
Search both when learning, but use the current GSA required-template page when selecting active offer files.
Can one offer need both product and services files?
Yes, if the offer includes both product and service lines. The package should keep each file clean and explain how the offerings fit the selected SINs.
Where does pricing support fit?
Pricing support sits behind the proposed prices and explains commercial basis, discounts, market rates, invoices, or other evidence.
