PART 44_SUBCONTRACTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES--Table of Contents

 

          Subpart 44.3_Contractors' Purchasing Systems Reviews

 

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.
