Which term describes the item of service purchased through specifications?

• A. Proposal Risk
• B. Price In Effect At Time Of Shipment
• C. Firm Fixed Price With Economic Adjustments
• D. Cost Plus Incentive Fee

Answer: (A)

When you purchase a service that is defined by specific requirements, the main issue is the risk tied to the vendor’s proposal for delivering that service. This risk—whether the proposal truly meets every specification, scope, and performance expectation—is described as Proposal Risk. The other options describe pricing structures (how price is set or adjusted) rather than the nature of the item based on specifications, so they don’t capture the concept of the specification-driven item being bought.
