FAR 8.707 Prices.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section explains how prices are set for items on the Procurement List, which are fair market prices established by the Committee. It also covers when price changes take effect and how extra costs for non-standard packing are handled. Contractors should know that prices are normally adjusted semiannually for supplies and annually for services, and that ordering offices can recommend price revisions.

Applies to: Items on the Procurement List and orders placed under this subpart

What it requires

  • If an ordering office wants non-standard packing, packaging, or marking, the nonprofit agency must include any cost difference as a separate item on its invoice.
  • The ordering office must reimburse the nonprofit agency for those extra packing, packaging, or marking costs.
