6. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

Based on market research, one manufacturer and multiple dealers are expected to provide proposals for this item. Other than certified cost or pricing data or similar item analysis may be used to determine that the offered prices are fair and reasonable.
