Problem
A $20 million cost plus fixed fee contract has been awarded to DEZ, Inc. for engineering modifications. The decision was made during pre-award to require certified cost or pricing data. The owner of DEZ reached out to you recently with a problem he is having getting cost or pricing data from T-Square, LLC. DEZ, Inc. would like to award a $4 million subcontract to T-Square. T-Square and DEZ are often competitors on government contracts. T-Square is refusing to provide its proprietary cost or pricing data to DEZ. What will you do? Select three that apply
• Tell DEZ that unfortunately it needs to subcontract with another firm because certified cost or pricing data are required on this contract.
• Follow the procedures in PGI 215.404-3 to provide field pricing assistance
• Arrange for DoD to review T-Square's proprietary data and furnish a range of unacceptable costs to DEZ for each element
• Allow T-Square to submit its cost or pricing data directly to the government.
