We recommend that the FAS Commissioner develop and implement controls to ensure compliance with FAS Policy and Procedure 2018-03 - Proper Documentation of Price Analysis Decisions – Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Program – in regards to documenting use of the pricing tools. Specifically, controls should ensure FAS contracting officers document: The criteria used in the query of the pricing tools; all detailed data records obtained in the pricing tool output; a verification that labor category comparisons made using the pricing tools are “same or similar” in accordance with FAR 15.4; and any filtering or removal of data records the contracting officer determined were outliers or not “same or similar.”
