Commercial item determination is the process the government uses to decide if a product or service sold to the general public can be treated as a commercial item for procurement purposes. This matters because buying commercial items speeds up contracting, reduces costs, and taps into market innovation. The FAR defines it, and getting it right saves time and money for both buyers and sellers.
