This Subcontract Management course [or whatever you want to call it] is an overview of FAR Part 44, Subcontracting – focusing on:

• Understanding what rights the government has to consent to a prime contractor’s subcontractors, including when those rights apply and when the government may insist that a prime contractor explore competition in subcontracting;
• Reviewing the basic requirements for a contractor’s Purchasing System, including some of the key features the government looks for when conducting a purchasing system review;
• Exploring the mandatory “flowdown” clauses that a prime contractor must include in its commercial subcontracts, as well as other practical flowdowns that may be needed to ensure compliance with the prime contract.
