Inside the Mock CPSR: What We Find Before DCMA Does

Inside the Mock CPSR: What We Find Before DCMA Does
Complimentary Webinar
December 2, 2026|1:00-2:00 PM EST

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.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Understand where reviewers look first: Learn which areas of a contractor's purchasing system draw attention during a review and why.
  • Identify common file deficiencies: Explore recurring documentation issues and practical ways to address them before they become review findings.
  • Prepare for a Government review: Learn how to approach a purchasing system self-assessment and identify areas for improvement before DCMA conducts its review.

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.

Get Ahead of CPSR Findings

Don't wait for a Government review to uncover weaknesses in your purchasing system. Join FPS on December 2nd from 1:00-2:00 PM EST for a complimentary webinar focused on common CPSR findings, practical lessons, and proactive preparation strategies.
