ACC NCR: Commercial Item Determinations (CID): A Refresher and Reflection On The Latest Practices From Industry Practitioners

Determining whether a product of service qualifies as “commercial” can have significant implications for government contractors and subcontractors—including determining which terms and conditions apply, what obligations “flow down” to subcontractors, as well as the extent to which cost and pricing data can be required to support pricing.  In this session, our panelists will cover a range of issues, including:

• A refresher on the various standards for establishing that a product or service qualifies as commercial;
• A discussion of best practices for establishing commerciality; and
• A discussion of recent trends, including legislative and regulatory updates affecting commercial item determinations.

Presented by Tracye Winfrey Howard and Kevin J. Maynard, Partners at Wiley and Sean P. Bamford, Associate General Counsel, Lockheed Martin.
