The contracting officer has determined the proposed pricing from ASTM to be fair and reasonable, as it compares favorably with commercial offerings. Overall, the document underscores the necessity of ASTM’s subscription for DLA Energy’s operational effectiveness while confirming a lack of competition in the procurement process.
