Catalog price refers to the amount a consumer can pay for a product whereby other costs such taxes, shipping costs, handling costs etc which are involved in the delivery of the goods to the buyer aren't added. It is the price that is included in a price list, or catalog which the manufacturer or the vendor regularly maintains.
In a situation whereby the customer is in the process of developing an independent government estimate for a requirement that is commercially available, then the catalog price will be used in such case.
