Context

This is a statistical alert regarding the purchase of industrial alcohol by CASTELMAR S R L. The measurement was conducted between July 28 and August 27, 2026.

The rule it puts in play

A statistical alert does not prove irregularity and is not sufficient to claim overpayment: the unit price may differ due to the unit of measure, quality, or delivery time. What the measurement indicates is a price outside the historical range for the same item.

TOCAF, article 33 — defines the procedure corresponding to the amount. The reasonableness of the price is evaluated by the spending officer.

What is missing to say more

To understand the price difference, it would be necessary to know the specific unit of measure, the quality of the industrial alcohol purchased, and the agreed delivery time. The current public information does not detail these aspects.

Who should answer

The purchasing entity must explain the reasons for the detected price difference.
