Common use of Approved Purchasing System Clause in Contracts

Approved Purchasing System. An approved purchasing system means the Contractor’s purchasing system has been audited under a Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) for efficiency and effectiveness with which the Contractor spends Government funds and complies with Government policy when subcontracting. Advance notification requirements for subcontracting and consent to subcontract are not required when a Contractor has an approved purchasing system unless otherwise requested by the OCO on an individual task order with no subcontracting possibilities or for commercial items acquired under FAR Part 12. An approved purchasing system is not mandatory; however, Contractors are encouraged to have a purchasing system audited by DCMA or any CFA other than DCMA for the entire ordering period of its HCaTS SB contract. If the Contractor’s contract is inclusive of an approved purchasing system, the Contractor shall maintain it for the rest of the ordering period. The Contractor shall notify the HCaTS SB CO and designated OCO(s) for affected task orders, in writing, if there are any changes in the status of its approved purchasing system and provide the reason(s) for the change and copies of CPSR reports, as applicable.
