Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 04.07.14

When the award is not competitive, those price analysis techniques could include evaluation of prices charged in similar sales or, if it is the only means to determine that the price is reasonable, could even include obtaining cost data to support the pricing of these commercial contracts.
