(a) See
1815.201(c)(6)(E) for establishing performance bases and payment terms in competitive negotiated acquisitions.
(e)(1)(ii) Use of the price adjustment evaluation technique may require obtaining and analyzing proposal information that is normally not required in NASA firm-fixed-price competitions (see
1815.403-3). When using performance-based payments in competitive negotiated acquisitions under $50 million, contracting officers should consider the use of alternative evaluation methods, e.g., qualitative evaluation under Mission Suitability or another appropriate factor.
