Unless specified otherwise, each day of this Virtual Course will include a lunch break from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET. 

In response to prior year NDAAs, the DCMA formed the Commercial Item Group (CIG) in 2016 to satisfy congressional intent. One of the primary purposes of the CIG is to scrutinize and evaluate the Commercial Item Determinations (CID) generated by contractors.  

Many contractors believe determining a product or service as a commercial item was as simple as checking a box on a form and filing it away. However, the DMCA and its CIG analysts have an ever-increasing focus on the “adequacy” of the supporting CID documentation. 

As a contractor in today’s environment, if you fail to adequately analyze and support your CIDs, you may be determined to have a significant deficiency in your CID process and practice which could lead to a disapproved purchasing system and trigger additional audits of your business systems.

This virtual course will provide attendees with a detailed understanding of the CID process and our experts will help advise attendees on the most successful strategies, methodologies, and lessons learned to assist in bulletproofing your CIDs.

What you will learn:

• How to determine a product or service is a commercial item
• Understand the supporting documentation for commercial item classification
• How to avoid deficiencies in CID
• Properly documenting commercial item practices
• Developing adequate analysis supporting your claim

This live virtual course is eligible for both CLE and CPE credit.
