Summary
This statement of work (SOW) details the requirements for commercial pricing audits conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General (VA OIG) for contractors with estimated annual sales exceeding $10 million.
The primary aim of these audits is to assist the contracting officer (CO) in ensuring that prices are fair and reasonable by verifying sales data, marketing practices, and compliance with contract terms. The SOW outlines that a post-award OIG audit may be requested to validate pre-award disclosures and confirm the accuracy of information provided by contractors.
The document specifies several objectives for pre-award reviews, including:
- Verifying the accuracy of discount pricing information (DPI)
- Ensuring proposed prices are competitive compared to those offered to favored customers
- Assessing any trade-in or rebate programs
To facilitate this review, contractors are required to provide detailed electronic sales transactional data from the previous year, including customer names, categories, product details, and pricing information.
Additionally, the SOW requests reconciliation of sales data with financial statements, current pricing policies, descriptions of special discounts and rebate programs, organizational charts related to DPI preparation, and unredacted copies of contracts with group purchasing organizations.
This comprehensive data collection is essential for conducting a thorough comparative price analysis and ensuring compliance with contractual obligations.
