Context
Code 69374 belongs to the SICE catalog and refers to site cleaning. The measurement is based on the median prices from 17 and 13 contract lines, respectively.
The rule it puts in play
No regulation sets the price of an item, and an inter-annual jump may reflect inflation, exchange rates, changes in the unit of measurement, 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, it would be necessary to analyze if code 69374 was used for the same type of service in both periods. It would also be useful to know the unit of measurement associated with each price and if there were changes in inflation or the exchange rate that could justify the difference.
Who should answer
The contracting entity and the supplier must explain the reasons behind this price variation.
