(a) The non -Federal entity must perform a cost or price analysis in connection with every procurement action in excess of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold including contract amendments.

However, if the non -Federal entity desires to have the review accomplished after a solicitation has been developed, the Federal awarding agency or pass -through entity may still review the specifications, with such review usually limited to the technical aspects of the proposed purchase. (b) The non -Federal entity must make available upon request, for the Federal awarding agency or pass -through entity pre -procurement review, procurement documents, such as requests for proposals or invitations for bids, or independent cost estimates, when: Agreement No. R22AP00352 Agreement Template Recipient Name: City of Santa Ana (0112021)
