Answer: (D)

A Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data is a formal assurance attached to price proposals in negotiated contracts. It states that, to the best of the offeror’s knowledge, the cost or pricing data submitted are accurate, complete, and current as of the date of agreement on price. The purpose is to ensure the data used to price the contract are reliable—accurate, complete, and up-to-date—so the government can assess price reasonableness and competitiveness. This certification focuses on the quality of the data used in establishing the price, not on the project schedule, milestones, or the overall budget management of the project.
