B. "Services of a Type"

Comment: One respondent suggests adding a definition for "services of a type" and/or providing examples of "services of a type."

Response: The Councils do not agree that definitions or examples are necessary to implement this case. The FAR definition of a "commercial item" adequately addresses what is and is not a commercial item. The contracting officer's determination that a service is considered a "service of a type" is a determination made based on the circumstances surrounding a particular acquisition and is made on a case-by-case basis.
