- bunderbunder 3y agoAlso, the "plus" part covers both overhead and profit. So, depending on what your overhead situation looks like, profit can still be minimal or non-positive.
- lesuorac 3y agoSure but the "plus" part is capped [1] for cost+plus. If you're buying AWS compute through GSA I bet the rate is more than AWS's costs + 10/15%. Or if you purchase say post-it notes from Staples; I bet they're going to be way more than the cost of paper+glue*1.15.
