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.
