Scope

Reviews the contractor's technical approach, production facilities, quality assurance systems, financial condition, performance history, and accounting system. Evaluates whether the company can meet delivery schedules, comply with applicable regulations, and maintain adequate cost accounting practices for the contract type proposed.

Frequency

Triggered by contracting officer request, typically for first-time government contractors, large dollar awards, or when concerns exist about a contractor's capability. Not routine for established contractors with proven track records.

What to Expect

DCAA auditors and other specialists (quality, engineering, transportation) visit the contractor's facility to review systems, interview management, and evaluate readiness. The survey results in a recommendation to the contracting officer regarding the contractor's responsibility. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks.
