When it comes to complying with Government-related subcontracting rules, many organizations find themselves in a reactive posture, often trying to implement compliant practices after they receive notices of upcoming audits or CPSR’s. This approach lacks the ability to establish and sustain compliance in the long term. Additionally, many aspects of a CPSR-compliant subcontracting process must be addressed early in the overall contract acquisition process such as when proposals are being developed and potential team members are being identified. To complicate this even more, it is a very common practice in the GovCon industry for the Procurement/Subcontracting functions to not be involved in the bid/proposal process. This means that source selection decisions, cost or price analyses, and negotiations may (or may not) be taking place with potential subcontractors prior to contract proposal submissions. Are CPSR-compliant standards being applied to these and other pre-contract award processes? Are these processes being documented compliantly? Does this information even reach the Procurement/Subcontracting function once the prime contract has been awarded to your organization?

This interactive session will explore, from a 360-degree viewpoint, how high-performance large and small organizations can plan for subcontract compliance though-out the acquisition lifecycle from the pre-contract, bid and proposal stage to post contract award/performance stage. During this session, attendees will benefit from real world industry insight shared by Jeffery White and Randy Shelby of JA White who will be joined by Heather A. Teed, President of EOP Consulting.
