Commercial item determination is the process a government contracting officer uses to decide if a product or service qualifies as a commercial item under federal acquisition regulations. It involves reviewing market availability, pricing practices, and terms of sale to see if the item is sold to the general public in similar form. Getting this determination right can mean simpler procurement rules and better access to commercial solutions for government needs.
