Price Analysis of Subcontractor Proposals

BTR2562 said:

What are the different acceptable price analysis methods (not cost analysis) that can be used to verify that the overall price of a subcontract offered is fair and reasonable without having to examine the individual components of the price?

Is the proposed subcontract price based upon competition or a non-competitive subcontract proposal? Also, is this a subcontract for a commercial product or commercial service?

The  following types of subcontractor proposals are the types on which analyses are being conducted for a Prime's proposed R&D contract:

1. Subcontract proposals for subcontractors (which were competed) who are supplying services not meeting the definition of commercial service as defined by FAR 2.101?

2. Subcontract proposals for subcontractors (which were not competed) who are supplying specialized services (not available by any other source) not meeting the definition of commercial service as defined by FAR 2.101?

3. Subcontract proposals for subcontractors (which were competed) who are supplying services meeting the definition of commercial service as defined by FAR 2.101?

4. Subcontract proposals for subcontractors (which were competed) who are supplying materials meeting the definition of commercial service as defined by FAR 2.101)?

Thanks for any clarifications offered on appropriate price analysis methods that can be used for the different circumstances.

You can get some ideas from the list at FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).

Please tell us, are you engaged in a real pricing situation in your workplace?  Or are you taking a class and looking for help with a class assignment?

Also, are the subcontracts going to be fixed price, cost reimbursement, etc.?
