From Preparation to Post-Review Success
Is your organization preparing for an upcoming DCMA Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR), implementing Corrective Action Plans (CAPs), or addressing findings from previous CPSR disapproval? J.A. White provides hands-on support throughout every phase of the CPSR lifecycle. Our experts work side-by-side with procurement teams to prepare for reviews, respond confidently to DCMA requests, efficiently resolve findings, and strengthen purchasing systems for long-term compliance and continuous audit readiness.
Our objective extends beyond helping clients complete a successful CPSR. J.A. White helps organizations build efficient and compliant purchasing systems that support long-term operational excellence, reduce regulatory risk, and maintain readiness for future reviews.
A 100% CPSR approval rate is extremely uncommon, especially if the denominator is a substantial number of completed reviews.
A CPSR is a substantive government evaluation of a contractor's purchasing system. The ACO can approve, withhold, or withdraw approval based on whether the system adequately protects the government's interests.
