[SubPro-IRT] RSP fee

[Rubens Kuhl]

Jothan,

Putting my Marika mask on, what Org said is that it would reduce the application fee. 
By how much is the question, since the actual cost of a technical evaluation is USD 14k, so they could just subtract 14k from 250k and say that the application fee without RSP evaluation is 236k. And it will be hard to challenge that figure, because that’s the actual cost.

The link that Rubens shared is NOT the cost estimate from the 2012 round but for a Material Subcontracting Arrangement (MSA) change. This is an ad-hoc, individual request review. My understanding is that the estimated costs of technical evaluation in 2012 were between $40,000 and $50,000 per application (not per RSP). Regardless, as Gustavo also pointed out on the call, focusing on the difference between 2012 and RSP is to a certain degree comparing apples to pears as per the SubPro recommendations, a separate program has now been created with its own application system as well as RST 2.0, that will evaluate RSPs only once. Gustavo and team will be sharing more details on the cost breakdown of implementing and running RSP as requested by the IRT, but as a reminder, per policy recommendation 6.8, the program is expected to be cost recovery with those seeking evaluation funding RSP.
