    When a term isn’t defined as describedin FAR 52.202-1, Definitions? FAR1.108 states:
    FAR 1.108 (a) Wordsand terms. Definitions in Part 2 apply to the entire regulation unlessspecifically defined in another part, subpart, section, provision, or clause.Words or terms defined in a specific part, subpart, section, provision, orclause have that meaning when used in that part, subpart, section, provision,or clause. Undefined words retain theircommon dictionary meaning.
    The Federal Management Regulations(FMR) at §102-36.40 states: "Unit cost" means the originalacquisition cost of a single item of property. However, this applies only tothat part of the FMR and the Government, and not necessarily to the contractor.
