That would be another - more neutral - rendition of "unbotmäßig", which should be interpreted along the lines of "ungerechtfertigt", "überhöht" or "überzogen" here.
I agree with Ian re. the commas/dashes.

\"unjustified\" or \"non-justifiable\" might be other ways to go.

Personally, I\'d use dashes instead of some of the commas: \"spare parts pricing - among other variables - is checked for accuracy ...\", but that\'s just me.
