                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 44_SUBCONTRACTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
          Subpart 44.3_Contractors' Purchasing Systems Reviews
 
Sec.  44.302  Requirements.

    (a) The ACO shall determine the need for a CPSR based on, but not 
limited to, the past performance of the contractor, and the volume, 
complexity and dollar value of subcontracts. If a contractor's sales to 
the Government (excluding competitively awarded firm-fixed-price and 
competitively awarded fixed-price with economic price adjustment 
contracts and sales of commercial items pursuant to Part 12) are 
expected to exceed $25 million during the next 12 months, perform a 
review to determine if a CPSR is needed. Sales include those represented 
by prime contracts, subcontracts under Government prime contracts, and 
modifications. Generally, a CPSR is not performed for a specific 
contract. The head of the agency responsible for contract administration 
may raise or lower the $25 million review level if it is considered to 
be in the Government's best interest.
    (b) Once an initial determination has been made under paragraph (a) 
of this section, at least every three years the ACO shall determine 
whether a purchasing system review is necessary. If necessary, the 
cognizant contract administration office will conduct a purchasing 
system review.
