Context
The PIN (FOR AIRCRAFT) is an item identified with catalog code 46340 in SICE. The measurement is based on public procurement data.
The rule it puts in play
No regulation sets the price of an item, and an year-on-year jump may reflect inflation, exchange rate, change in unit of measure, or a different product under the same code. The measurement compares medians of the same catalog code, nothing more.
What is missing to say more
To understand the variation in the median unit price, it would be necessary to know if there were changes in the unit of measure, if the product purchased was the same in both periods, or if other factors such as inflation or exchange rate explain the difference. Information on the specific characteristics of the products purchased in each period is essential.
Who should answer
The Ministry of Defense, as the spending officer, should explain the reasons behind the variation in the median unit price of PIN (FOR AIRCRAFT).
