In response to a widely-publicized solicitation for a noncommercial item, a contracting officer only received one responsible offer. The offer is a firm-fixed amount for $1,000,000, which was the same price for a similar item recently purchased by another agency under a contract that resulted from adequate price competition. Which of the following is correct?
a. One offer doesn't meet the requirement for adequate price competition, therefore, certified cost and pricing data is required
b. The item is non-commercial, therefore, certified cost and pricing data is not required
c. The offeror is responsible, therefore, certifed cost and pricing data is not required.
d. The proposed price is reasonable in comparison to a recent price for a similar item, therefore, cost and pricing data is not required.
