  2. New Law for TINA Waivers Section 817, FY 2003 National Defense Authorization Act • HCA may grant a waiver if: • Property or services cannot reasonably be obtainedwithout grant of a waiver (new criterion), and • The price can be determined to be fair and reasonable without the submission of certified cost or pricing data (the old criterion in FAR 15-403-1(c)(4)), and • There are demonstrated benefits to granting the waiver (new criterion). • Imposes an annual Congressional reporting requirement on all TINA waivers over $15M including an identification of the steps to insure price reasonableness (new requirement).

  3. Reducing Unnecessary Cost Data Requirements Still Possible • Use the flexibility in FAR 15-408 to specify a format for cost data submission other than Table 15-2. • Use parametric estimating systems and agreed upon cost models. • Recognize price competitions on FMS sales. • Eliminate voluminous cost data requirements for competitions – use internal government estimate as a reasonableness check for source selection comparisons. • TINA waiver for part of the proposal.
