My requirement doesn’t meet the FAR definition for a commercial item and I don’t expect adequate price competition. Which provision do I use?
Use FAR 52.216-30 T&M/LH Proposal Requirements—Non Commercial Item Acquisition without Adequate Price Competition. As a reminder, FAR 15.403-1(c) provides the accepted standards for what constitutes adequate price competition. In this scenario, the offeror must specify separate fixed hourly rates in its offer that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit for each category of labor to be performed by the offeror, each subcontractor, and each division, subsidiary, or affiliate of the offeror under a common control.
