The Truth in Negotiations Act, 10 U.S.C. chapter 271 and 41 U.S.C. chapter 35, requires the Government to obtain certified cost or pricing data from contractors prior to the award of certain contract actions. Contractors may be exempt from this requirement under certain conditions. This clearance covers the information that offerors or contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements:

FAR 52.214-28, Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data—Modifications—Sealed Bidding. When contracting by sealed bidding, this clause requires contractors to require subcontractors to submit certified cost or pricing data for a modification involving aggregate increases and/or decreases in costs, plus applicable profits, expected to exceed the threshold for submission of certified cost or pricing data at FAR 15.403-4(a)(1).

FAR 52.215-20, Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data. When contracting by negotiation, this provision requires offerors, if not granted an exception, to prepare and submit certified cost or pricing data, data other than certified cost or pricing data, and supporting attachments in accordance with the instructions contained in Table 15-2 of FAR 15.408, unless the contracting officer and the contractor agree to a different format.
FAR 52.215-21, Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data—Modifications.
