7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer will determine whether the cost of the supplies of services covered by this Justification are fair and reasonable. The Contractor will submit a price quotation with other than certified cost or pricing data and sufficient information to support the accuracy and reliability of the estimate. The Contractor’s proposal will be reviewed by the Contract Specialist and PCO with the aid of necessary field pricing support. The Contracting Officer will use cost and pricing analysis as the basis for negotiating a fair and reasonable price.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NSWCPD has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NSWCPD will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. NSWCPD will continue to monitor the marketplace and identify potential sources of the supplies identified in this Justification. Any sources discovered that can potentially satisfy this specific procurement will be taken into account for any future requirements.
