As prescribed in 15.408(d)(1), insert the following clause:

Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data (Jun 2020)

(a) Before awarding any subcontract expected to exceed the threshold for submission of certified

cost or pricing data in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.403-4(a)(1), on the date of

agreement on price or the date of award, whichever is later; or before pricing any subcontract

modification involving a pricing adjustment expected to exceed the threshold for submission of

certified cost or pricing data in FAR 15.403-4(a)(!), the Contractor shall require the subcontractor to

submit certified cost or pricing data (actually or by specific identification in writing), in accordance

with FAR 15.408, Table 15-2(to include any information reasonably required to explain the

subcontractor's estimating process such as the judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or

other methods used in the estimate, including those used in projecting from known data, and the

nature and amount of any contingencies included in the price), unless an exception under

15.403-1(b) applies. If the threshold for submission of certified cost or pricing data specified in FAR

15.403-4(a)(1) is adjusted for inflation as set forth in FAR 1.109(a), then pursuant to FAR 1.109(d)

the changed threshold applies throughout the remaining term of the contract, unless there is a

subsequent threshold adjustment.

(b) The Contractor shall require the subcontractor to certify in substantially the form prescribed in

FAR 15.406-2 that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the data submitted under paragraph (a) of

this clause were accurate, complete, and current as of the date of agreement on the negotiated price

of the subcontract or subcontract modification.

(c) In each subcontract that, when entered into, exceeds the threshold for submission of certified

cost or pricing data in FAR 15.403-4(a)(1), the Contractor shall insert either—

(1) The substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), if paragraph (a) of this clause requires

submission of certified cost or pricing data for the subcontract; or

(2) The substance of the clause at FAR 52.215-13, Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing DataModifications.

(End of clause)

to submit certified cost or pricing data (actually or by specific identification in writing), in

accordance with FAR 15.408, Table 15-2 (to include any information reasonably required to explain

the subcontractor's estimating process such as the judgmental factors applied and the mathematical

or other methods used in the estimate, including those used in projecting from known data, and the

nature and amount of any contingencies included in the price)—

(1) Before modifying any subcontract that was awarded prior to July 1, 2018, involving a pricing
adjustment expected to exceed $750,000; or
