15.403-4(b)(91)  Cost or pricing data for indefinite quantity and requirements contracts.

FAR 16.503 and 16.504 state that estimated total quantities to be ordered under requirements and indefinite quantity contracts respectively should be as realistic as possible. This information, along with the estimated number of orders and variability in order quantities, is required for realistic contract pricing. To avoid delays when contract price data must be obtained under these types of contracts, the solicitation should provide this information and specify that--

(1)  It should be used by the offeror in developing the unit price(s) proposed;

(2)  The price proposal must include an explanation of the production quantity and period used in developing the proposed unit price(s) (The planned production quantity may be greater than, equal to, or less than the maximum quantity of an indefinite quantity contract/total estimated quantity of requirements contract, exclusive of any contract options.); and

(3)  The offeror is requested to quantify any reduction in the offered unit price(s) available if the minimum order quantity were raised and/or a guaranteed minimum contract quantity established.
