Abstract: This information collection pertains to information that an offeror/contractor must submit to the Department of Defense (DoD) if only one offer was received in response to a competitive solicitation, and the contracting officer must now request certified cost or pricing data because of the revised standard for adequate price competition that is applicable to DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard. This information collection requirement implements Cost or Pricing Data—Truth in negotiations, 10 U.S.C. 2306a, as amended by section 822 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 (Pub. L 114-328). To the extent that 10 U.S.C. 2306a is the same as 41 U.S.C. chapter 35, information collection requirements are covered under OMB clearance 9000-0013. However, section 822 of the NDAA for FY 2017 changes the standard for adequate price competition for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard. This supporting statement addresses only the additional burden for DoD, as implemented in DFARS clause 252.215-7008, Only One Offer, and 252.215-7010, Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data.
