The contracting officer must insert the clause at 1852.231–70, Precontract Costs, in contracts for which specific coverage of precontract costs is authorized.

Editorial Note: At 85 FR 52927, Aug. 27, 2020, § 1831.205–70 was amended; however, the amendment could not be incorporated due to inaccurate amendatory instruction.

The contracting officer must insert a provision substantially the same as the provision at 1852.231–71, Determination of Compensation, in solicitations for services which contemplate the award of a cost reimbursement or non-competitive fixed-price type service contract having a total potential value expected to exceed the threshold for requiring certified cost and pricing data as set forth in FAR 15.403–4.
