Sec.  44.304  Surveillance.

    (a) The ACO shall maintain a sufficient level of surveillance to 
ensure that the contractor is effectively managing its purchasing 
program.
    (b) Surveillance shall be accomplished in accordance with a plan 
developed by the ACO with the assistance of subcontracting, audit, 
pricing, technical, or other specialists as necessary. The plan should 
cover pertinent phases of a contractor's purchasing system (preaward, 
postaward, performance, and contract completion) and pertinent 
operations that affect the contractor's purchasing and subcontracting. 
The plan should also provide for reviewing the effectiveness of the 
contractor's corrective actions taken as a result of previous Government 
recommendations. Duplicative reviews of the same areas by CPSR and other 
surveillance monitors should be avoided.
