# §19.806. Pricing the 8(a) contract.

- (a) The contracting officer shall price the 8(a) contract in accordance with [subpart 15.4](/cfr/48/subpart15.4.md). If required by [subpart 15.4](/cfr/48/subpart15.4.md), the SBA shall obtain certified cost or pricing data from the 8(a) contractor. If the SBA requests audit assistance to determine the proposed price to be fair and reasonable in a sole source acquisition, the contracting activity shall furnish it to the extent it is available.
- (b) An 8(a) contract, sole source or competitive, may not be awarded if the price of the contract results in a cost to the contracting agency which exceeds a fair market price.
- (c) If requested by the SBA, the contracting officer shall make available the data used to estimate the fair market price within 10 working days.
- (d) The negotiated contract price and the estimated fair market price are subject to the concurrence of the SBA. In the event of a disagreement between the contracting officer and the SBA, the SBA may appeal in accordance with 19.810.
