C.4 Requirements for Supporting Price Information or Certified Cost or Pricing Data The Offeror is required to submit certified cost or pricing data in support of the proposal, unless exempted by the Buyer under FAR 15.403-1.

In lieu of submitting certified cost or pricing data, Offerors may submit a written request for exception by submitting the information described in the following paragraphs.

For a commercial item exception*, the Offeror shall submit, at minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold in the commercial market that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price of this acquisition.

b. As soon as practicable after agreement on price but before Subcontract award (except for unpriced actions such as letter Subcontracts), the Offeror shall submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, as prescribed by FAR 15.406-2.

Subcontract requirements for certified cost or pricing data. If the Offeror intends to issue a subcontract in performance of this requirement and it is expected to exceed the threshold for the submission of cost or pricing data at FAR 15.403-4, the subcontractor is subject to the above requirements.

The Offeror grants the Buyer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this provision and the reasonableness of price.

**See FAR 2.101 for definition of “commercial.”

C.5 Evaluation of Options Except when it is determined not to be in HMIS’ best interest, HMIS evaluates offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirements. Evaluation of options will not obligate HMIS to exercise the option(s).

HMIS analyzes bids to determine whether prices are unbalanced and may reject a proposal offer as nonresponsive if it determines that the proposal is materially unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more-line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques.

C.6 Representations and Certifications HMIS relies upon Offeror’s current representations and certifications within a Federal web-based system, the System for Award Management (SAM), that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the representations and certifications required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

Offeror agrees to promptly provide such information upon request and prior to award.

If Buyer requests such information, award shall be conditioned on Offeror’s submission of information Buyer deems acceptable.
