Truth in Negotiations Act
TINA (Truth in Negotiations Act) — see Truth in Negotiations. Requires certified cost or pricing data for contracts over $2M unless an exception applies (competition, commercial item, etc.).
(Truth in Negotiations Act) is a regulation concept federal contractors and grant writers run into across solicitations, regulations, and award filings
TINA is part of the federal regulatory framework that governs procurement, performance, or compliance. For contractors, TINA is not just background — it shapes solicitation language, evaluation criteria, source-selection authority, and what counts as compliant performance. Understanding when TINA applies and (more importantly) when it doesn't apply is the difference between a proposal that's competitive within its actual constraint set and one that over-engineers compliance. Contracting officers use TINA as common vocabulary, so reading their decisions, modifications, and source-selection memoranda gets easier when the regulation is in your working memory. Pair TINA with the related terms above to see how it interacts with adjacent regulatory mechanisms.
