What Is TINA?

Introduces the Truthful Cost or Pricing Data statute, formerly the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires contractors to submit accurate, complete, and current cost data.

When TINA Applies and When It Doesn't

Explains the dollar thresholds that trigger TINA on negotiated contracts and key exceptions, including commercial products and adequate price competition.

What Certification of Cost Requires of You

Covers your duty to certify cost or pricing data as accurate, complete, and current, and how defective pricing can lead to price reductions.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

When you’re negotiating certain government contracts, TINA requires you to submit cost and pricing data that’s accurate, complete, and current as of the agreement date. Getting it wrong, even by leaving out information your team already had, can lead to defective pricing claims, refunds to the government, penalties, and serious damage to your standing as a contractor. This training helps the people who prepare and certify proposals understand what counts as cost or pricing data, when disclosure is required, and how to keep their submissions honest. That protects the company’s contracts and reputation while keeping your relationship with the government on solid footing.
