2-34.4 Pricing Noncompetitive Offers

Any of the pricing techniques above (with the exception of the comparison of competitive offers) can be used when pricing noncompetitive proposals. If the price analysis methods do not ensure that prices are fair and reasonable, then a cost analysis, or some other technique appropriate for the goods or services being purchased, should be performed. See 2-34.14, Certification of Cost or Pricing Data, for instances when supplier certification of such data is required.
