French term or phrase: produit intérieur brut marchand
Goverment contracts.

"Le coefficient de dérivation est déterminé en concertation avec l'industriel par le chef du service à partir des coûts hors taxes, éventuellement corrigés, pour les ramener à conditions économiques constantes, par référence à l'évolution de l'indice des prix du produit intérieur brut marchand (P.I.B.m) publié par l'institut des statistiques et études économiques (I.N.S.E.E.), des outillages spécifiques nécessaires à la fabrication des matériels destinés à un client autre que la personne publique et financés par la personne publique et par l'industriel."

I know PIB is GDP, but what is the "marchand"?

nominal GDP


Explanation:
Gross domestic product is a highly precise term in economics, and there are only two variations of which I am aware: real GDP and nominal GDP. The term 'commercial GDP' must refer to 'nominal GDP'.

Please perform a Google search on 'commercial GDP' and 'nominal GDP'. What you will find are few entries for 'commercial GDP' and very many for 'nominal GDP'. Moreover, most of the entries for 'commercial GDP' appear to be coming from sources only indirectly related to the fields of finance and economics.

For your translation you have selected an off-variant of a very common economic term from a non-economic source.
