The proposed price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness using the price analysis techniques provided under FAR Part 13.106-3(a) to determine if it is reasonable, allowable, and allocable in accordance with applicable regulations and policies. To make a fair and reasonable determination, the CO may employ any and all of the following techniques: competition, comparisons to established market pricing, historical pricing or an Independent Government Estimate.
