Wayne Norman, Iris Thompson, Brandon Kriner Subcontract Control Wayne Norman, Iris Thompson, Brandon Kriner

We will be discussing hot topics in Subcontract Control including: risk of loss flow down, risk assessment of suppliers as a prime, oversight via onsite audits or limited surveys, Inventory practices, what we require our subs to do annually We will allow for open dialog and questions flowing from the audience

Risk of loss flow down Current new FAR case 2013-013- soon out for public comment DCMA -Callahan memo Sept ‘12 Current take- Primes should in most cases flow down limited risk of loss to suppliers in negotiated subcontracts, when it is in the prime contract* What do you do? Is this problematic ? Why would you not? * With exceptions- competitively awarded contracts, FR, risk etc..

Risk assessment of suppliers, as a prime What risk assessment do you perform on your subs How do you do it? What data do you have or obtain? Do you use this to make decisions on oversight?

Oversight via onsite audits or limited surveys Do you do onsite surveys? Limited mailer type surveys? How do you decide? What data do you use? Frequency?

Inventory practices Do you make your subs physically touch the property annually? Why? Do you let them follow their own procedures for frequency (if they have them biannual or triannual)?

What we require our subs to do annually What do you make them turn in annually and how do you word it. If you let them follow their own inventory cycle….. And you want annual data…. Why not ask them for a listing of all tagged property on hand ??? And a Summary report of material on hand???? Format- do you provide one? Iris to share spreadsheet for example and discussion
