This is session 1 of 4 in the Advanced Contractors' Purchasing Systems Review Virtual course.

Have you completed FedPubs’ CPSR and Government Contracts Purchasing and Subcontracting courses? Has some time passed since your last experience with the DCMA CPSR Group? 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.

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

A little about the case studies they will do:  At the conclusion of the presentation materials, the attendees will apply the lessons learned they have learned during the course to several case studies followed by discussions of those case studies. These case studies will be focused on highly subjective evaluative documentation artifacts related to source selection, price reasonableness and commercial item procurements.

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 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 in public laws and evaluative documentation requirements
  • Better prepare for the next DCMA CPSR
 
 NOTE: On-Demand Virtual Course sessions are not eligible for CLE/CPE credits.
