requires the contractor to maintain during the contract period the
negotiated price/discount relationship (and/or term and condition
relationship) between the eligible ordering activities and the offeror’s
customer or category of customers on which the contract award was
predicated (see <xref href="538.271.dita#GSAM_538_271"

                        class="- topic/xref ">538.271</xref>). If a change
occurs in the contractor’s commercial pricing or discount arrangement
applicable to the identified commercial customer (or category of
customers) that results in a less advantageous relationship between
the eligible ordering activities and this customer or category of
customers, the change constitutes a “price reduction.”</p>
