Price Verification Workbook

PRICE VERIFICATION | READ THIS FIRST Verify the price before you promise it Use the next three full-page charts for different products, delivery locations, order sizes or research rounds. Each chart compares three sources side by side. 1 / 10 1. Define the purchase before collecting numbers. Specify the product or service, unit, quantity, acceptable specifications, delivery location, timing and currency. A case price is not a bottle price. A retail listing, budget estimate, supplier quote and paid historical award are different evidence types. [1, 2] 2. Make each source traceable and comparable. Record who issued the price, when it was checked, validity, stock, freight, taxes/fees and payment terms. Save an attachment or exact reference. Mark Verified when the cited evidence supports that fact, Derived when you calculated it from supported inputs, or Missing when it remains unresolved. A written quote can still contain conditions. 3. Normalize the units and delivered scope. Delivered comparison cost = product subtotal + applicable freight + applicable taxes/fees + other required supplier charges. Divide by the same usable unit count for every source. Avoid double-counting charges already included in a delivered price. For services, align hours, tasks, labor categories and exclusions. 4. Separate your supplier cost from the customer selling price. The chart supports sourcing; it does not replace your full job estimate. Add your own labor, handling, travel, overhead, financing and risk allowance where applicable. Historical selling prices do not reveal a competitor's actual costs or profit. Compare equivalent scope before applying a documented time or market adjustment. [1] 5. Decide and document the next action. The lowest displayed price may fail on specification, quantity, delivery or cash terms. Explain your choice, identify remaining gaps and record an owner and due date. Three columns are a classroom comparison tool, not a universal government requirement for three quotations. These references describe buyer price-analysis practices. Actual solicitation terms and applicable agency procedures control. 1 / 4 Educational use only; not legal, tax, financial or medical advice. Verify requirements and consult qualified advisers.
