Fundamentally the requirement is implemented by adding three additional elements to subsection (c) of DFARS 252.244–7001 *Contractor Purchasing System Administration****. ***If applicable a contractor will: - “(19) Establish and maintain policies and procedures to ensure purchase orders and subcontracts contain mandatory and applicable flowdown clauses, as required by the FAR and DFARS, including terms and conditions required by the prime contract and any clauses required to carry out the requirements of the prime contract, including the requirements of 252.246–7007, Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance System”; - “(20) Provide for an organizational and administrative structure that ensures effective and efficient procurement of required quality materials and parts at the best value from responsible and reliable sources, including the requirements of 252.246–7007, Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance System”; - “(21) Establish and maintain selection processes to ensure the most responsive and responsible sources for furnishing required quality parts and materials and to promote competitive sourcing among dependable suppliers so that purchases are reasonably priced and from sources that meet contractor quality requirements, including the requirements of 252.246–7007, Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance System, and the item marking requirements of 252.211–7003, Item Unique Identification and Valuation”. Additionally DFARS 252.246–7007 establishes 12 criteria for an adequate *Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance System *but is applicable only to CAS covered contractors*.* DCMA has not yet revised DCMA-INST 109 Contractor Purchasing System Reviews implemented in November 2012 and revised in January 2014 but we expect it to do so shortly.  However, even if the DCMA has not developed implementing guidance or review procedures prior to the commencement of any reviews applicable systems will be evaluated for compliance based on the May 6, 2014 DFARS revisions.  [![Learn More About Our Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) Services](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/203971/interactive-168867383058.png) ](https://info.redstonegci.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLS722owmTjUVbkz73i%2BYso7perk5AEETbabg%2FHGyXVllheDsbOqd3QKZTs6KQXRRj142DJVKLUjCpu7A%2F3Iso%2FGgdUdtCvYSMm5dOK5wNEpO2EaSbyM1BMiqRsE5RPl1Kv9rQxBYfNRdr21%2FSfqi4%2FWAK9FQt%2F7JhVaoYegoSsySfJdhiDhv2ZJlkJvWl9GDjVPWtmd856lZe1mWZEmFLmFaLPpbEXQwKhMqvYbkE%3D&webInteractiveContentId=168867383058&portalId=203971) ### Written by [Wayne Murdock](https://info.redstonegci.com/blog/author/wayne-murdock) ## About Redstone GCI Redstone GCI is a consulting firm focused on fulfilling the needs of government contractors in all areas of compliance.
