§103 Commercial product

Summary

Defines what counts as a commercial product when the government buys things. A commercial product is any item (not land or buildings) that people or private groups normally use and that has been or can be made available to the public by sale, lease, or license. It also includes items that grew out of such commercial products but are not yet on the market if they can be delivered in time, items that only need common or minor changes to meet government needs, combinations of commercial items sold together, products moved between a company’s divisions, and a nondevelopmental item developed only with private money and sold in substantial numbers, competitively, to multiple state or local governments or to several foreign governments when the agency follows the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
