What would a mock Contractor Purchasing Systems
Review (CPSR) reveal about your organization's
purchasing system before the Defense Contract
Management Agency (DCMA) takes a closer look?
From incomplete procurement files to gaps
between written policies and everyday practices,
common weaknesses can put purchasing system
acceptance at risk.
J.A. White has supported hundreds of Contractor
Purchasing Systems Reviews and has seen many
of the same issues surface time and again.
Join Federal Publications Seminars (FPS) on
December 2nd from 1:00-2:00 PM EST
for a complimentary webinar featuring
Jeffery A. White, Randy Shelby, and Stephen Hall
as they share insights from anonymized findings
in recent mock CPSRs.
What Can a Mock CPSR Reveal Before DCMA Does?
A successful purchasing system review requires
more than having policies and procedures in place.
Contractors must also demonstrate that their
purchasing practices and supporting documentation
align with those requirements.
During this webinar, the presenters will walk
through recurring findings from mock CPSRs,
including documentation gaps, inconsistencies
between policies and actual practices, and
common buyer habits that can create compliance
concerns.
By understanding where reviewers focus their
attention and why certain issues continue to
appear, contractors can better prepare their
purchasing teams, identify potential weaknesses,
and take corrective action before a Government
review.
What Will Attendees Learn?
This session will provide practical insights
into the most common weaknesses identified
during mock purchasing system reviews and
how contractors can strengthen their
CPSR readiness.

Why Is CPSR Readiness Important for
Government Contractors?
Purchasing system compliance is an ongoing
responsibility. Even contractors with established
procedures may have documentation weaknesses
or inconsistent purchasing practices that
become apparent during a review.
Taking a proactive approach through internal
assessments and regular process reviews can
help organizations identify potential issues
before they are raised by Government reviewers.
Understanding the findings that commonly
surface during mock CPSRs is an important
step toward improving purchasing system
readiness.
