            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

 

                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 12_ACQUISITION OF COMMERCIAL ITEMS--Table of Contents

 

  Subpart 12.2_Special Requirements for the Acquisition of Commercial 

                                  Items

 

Sec. 12.213  Other commercial practices.



    It is a common practice in the commercial marketplace for both the 

buyer and seller to propose terms and conditions written from their 

particular perspectives. The terms and conditions prescribed in this 

part seek to balance the interests of both the buyer and seller. These 

terms and conditions are generally appropriate for use in a wide range 

of acquisitions. However, market research may indicate other commercial 

practices that are appropriate for the acquisition of the particular 

item. These practices should be considered for incorporation into the 

solicitation and contract if the contracting officer determines them 

appropriate in concluding a business arrangement satisfactory to both 

parties and not otherwise precluded by law or Executive order.
