Text of Recommendation | We recommend that the FAS Commissioner update the 4P Application User Guide to require contracting personnel to: a. Conduct additional price analysis on products for which the 4P tool returns only self-hits; b. Include commercial market pricing information presented in the 4P tool in price evaluations and provide justification when the awarded pricing exceeds the lowest commercial market price found; c. Seek, analyze, and document justification for product pricing that exceeds the market threshold; and d. Manually research an appropriate sample of products for which the 4P tool found no market research comparisons to ascertain applicable market pricing information. |
