TINA Certification - Who Should Sign

While there are no regulatory requirements regarding who should sign a TINA Certification, it should be at a level high enough within the organization that has knowledge and management oversight of Bids and Proposals, Estimating, and Accounting within an organization.

Contractors normally follow the requirements for Certificate of Final Indirect Rates which is:

(a) The Contractor shall—

(1) Certify any proposal to establish or modify final indirect cost rates;

(2) Use the format in paragraph (c) of this clause to certify; and

(3) Have the certificate signed by an individual of the Contractor’s organization at a level no lower than a vice president or chief financial officer of the business segment of the Contractor that submits the proposal.
