COST ANALYSIS CHECKLIST

This form must be completed for each purchase above $10,000 for goods, and above $25,000 for services where the purchase is sole source justified or only one bid/proposal has been received. One of the boxes below must be checked and an explanation must be provided in the space provided at the end of this checklist.

The price being paid for goods or services is fair and reasonable based on:

Catalog or list price (or less) for STANDARD commercial item or service.

Price compares favorably with price for a similar item.

Market prices. Where an item has an established market price, verification of an equal or lower price establishes the price to be fair and reasonable. (For example, the purchase of metals, such as lead, gold, silver or commodities, such as grains.)

Special Governmental Pricing.

Professional Judgment. The Purchasing Agent is familiar with marketplace for the particular goods and services at issue and knows that the price is fair and reasonable.

Price set by law or regulation.

Price is the same as another purchaser paid. If the seller has no catalog, but has sold the same item to others in the recent past, the price can be determined to be fair and reasonable by verifying with those other purchasers what price they paid.

Price compares favorably to price paid for the same item or service, or similar item or service of like complexity under a previous purchase order, taking inflation into account.

Cost Analysis. Cost analysis shall be completed when price analysis is inadequate to verify that prices are fair and reasonable.

Cost analysis is the review and evaluation of each element of a cost estimate and proposed profit or fee to determine reasonableness, allocability and allowability. It is often used in conjunction with cost reimbursement contracts. Cost analysis should answer the following questions for the review and evaluation for any given cost element:

Is the cost necessary to perform the work and allocable to the work?

Is the cost necessary to operate the business?

Does the offeror follow applicable regulations?

Does the offeror have an acceptable accounting procedure?

Is the cost allowable in accordance with grant guidelines?

Would a prudent business person take this action in a competitive business environment?

Is the profit or fee negotiated, if any, reasonable for the degree of risk involved in performance of the work and does not exceed the limitations?
