A. The submission of current cost or pricing data may be required in connection with an award in situations in which analysis of the proposed price is essential to determine that the price is reasonable and fair.

Any contract, change order or contract modification under which a certificate is required shall contain a provision that the price to this state shall be adjusted to exclude any significant amounts by which this state finds that the price was increased because the contractor-furnished cost or pricing data was inaccurate, incomplete or not current as of the date agreed on between the parties. Such adjustment by this state may include profit or fee.
