Adequate Price Competition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A summary for the FAR rule follows. For the
actual revisions and/or amendments made by this FAR Case, refer to the
specific subject set forth in the document following this item summary.
FAC 2019-03 amends the FAR as follows:
Exception From Certified Cost or Pricing Data Requirements--Adequate
Price Competition (FAR Case 2017-006)
This final rule amends the FAR to provide guidance to DoD, NASA,
and the Coast Guard, consistent with section 822 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 that addresses the
exception from certified cost or pricing data requirements when price
is based on adequate price competition. Section 822 excludes from the
standard for adequate price competition the situation in which there
was an expectation of competition, but only one offer is received. The
standard of adequate price competition that is based on a reasonable
expectation of competition is now applicable only to agencies other
than DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard.
This final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
