because I don't see what kind of "additional supporting information" can be reasonably requested being as it is by rules.
In a culture of compliance instead of relational contracting you are 100% correct here @B2B.Consultancy
That is how the aircraft engines market works these days, as the relationship has degraded to malicious compliance. The prime will use this provision to ensure that, despite the FAR’s allowance that the CO “may” consider nontraditional defense contractor’s noncommercial items to be commercial items, it is a de facto “shall”. Reason being, the slow-roll tactic will always prevail when the CO thinks he can say “no”. He will have to ask the DCMA Commercial Item Group, he will have to wait for the prime and sub to discuss all requests for information, and meanwhile the clock will tick.
