This approach would also include OEMs for parts currently planned for procurement under the BOAs covered by this class justification revision.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this justification will be fair and reasonable.

Approval of this justification signifies that the approval authority has made the determination required by DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(ii).
