DFARS 219.806 Pricing the 8(a) contract.

In plain English

This section explains how the government prices 8(a) contracts under a specific partnership agreement. It requires the contracting officer to get certified cost or pricing data from the 8(a) contractor when FAR rules demand it, and it says SBA doesn't have to agree to the final price. However, before pulling a requirement from the 8(a) Program because of a pricing or terms disagreement, the contracting officer must tell the SBA, unless it's a small purchase order.

Applies to: 8(a) contracts processed under the PA cited in 219.800

What it requires

• The contracting officer shall obtain certified cost or pricing data from the 8(a) contractor, if required by FAR subpart 15.4.
• The contracting officer shall notify the SBA prior to withdrawing a requirement from the 8(a) Program due to failure to agree on price or other terms and conditions, except for purchase orders not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.

Key terms: 8(a) contractor · certified cost or pricing data · FAR subpart 15.4 · SBA concurrence · simplified acquisition threshold
