Planning note

Large / metro: expect a Branch analysis pass. Estimators here cannot replace ECaTS + MPA cost-workbook review.

Not a funding commitment

Official dollars come only from the Branch Fixed Allotment letter using active MPA pricing. After RFP 26-16743 award, do not quote from 2020 workbooks.

· Level 1 is sunset. Official dollars always come from the Branch Fixed Allotment letter.
· Call-volume methodology is Chapter III. Dollar estimates must use the active MPA after RFP 26-16743 award — not 2020 workbooks.
· Levels 4–5 use busy-hour methods (with abandoned-call allowances per policy). A busy-month figure only places you in the band.
· MPA prices are maximums. Shopping multiple authorized contractors can improve value inside the same configuration.
