Overview
Have you completed Fed Pubs’ Contractors' Purchasing Systems Review (CPSR) and/or Federal Contracting for Primes and Subs? OR - has some time passed since your last experience with the DCMA CPSR Guidebook? Are you aware of the Defense Contract Management Agency’s (DCMA) modern-day interpretations of and nuances applicable to Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) requirements and compliance with the same? Do you have a CPSR scheduled or anticipated to be scheduled in the next two years? Then this course is for you/your team.

Learning Objectives:  At the completion of this course, you will be able to:
  • Demonstrate the current scope of the DCMA CPSR and the most common deficiencies across the industry
  • Explore the more complex, high-risk, and challenging compliance areas the contractor community encounters in DCMA CPSRs
  • Gather compliance strategies, tactics, and tools needed in navigating a DCMA CPSR with special emphasis on public laws and evaluative documentation requirements
  • Better prepare for the next DCMA CPSR
A Little About the Case Studies They Will Do
At the conclusion of the presentation materials, attendees will apply lessons they learned to several case studies, which will then be discussed. Case studies will be focused on highly subjective evaluative documentation artifacts related to source selection, price reasonableness, and commercial item procurements.

Who should attend:
This in-depth course is recommended for those individuals who are responsible for purchasing/ subcontracting in support of U.S. Government contracts, implementing and maintaining adequate purchasing systems, leading their employers through CPSRs, and conducting oversight of purchasing systems.
