Downward adjustments are mandated whenever the Contractor's List Prices decrease and/or whenever the contractor has a contract with some Other Federal Agency (OFA) for the same item and that price is reduced to one that is lower than the current unit price on Medical's contract. OFA contracts include Federal Supply Schedules, Department of Veterans Affairs National Contracts, and GSA Schedule contracts.
