However, in the event that adequate price competition does not exist after receipt of proposals, the

Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the

Offeror and subcontractors and may conduct negotiations with the Offeror, pursuant to FAR Part

15.403-4, in order to ensure a reasonable and realistic price. Further, the Offeror may be required to provide a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data prior to award, pursuant to FAR 15.406-2.

Offeror shall acknowledge the requirement to provide additional cost or pricing information and certify the data prior to award if/when requested by the Government.

(b) The Offeror shall provide sufficient information to support its price as well as an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that affect the price estimates. Any apparent imbalances in the pricing, high or low proposed prices as compared to historical data, or any other anomalies should be fully explained. Topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to, investments, programmatic variables (e.g., inflation/escalation, location, make/buy decisions, prime/subcontractor relationships, and business base concerns), etc.
