Procurement Management Review of OTS/CMS
(6-11?1
procurement management reviews (PMR) of all procurement units
of the Agency's procurement system, is initiating a program of
1. The Procurement Management Staff, Office of Logistics
(OL/PMS), which has the responsibility for the review and monitoring
involved in Agency acquisition. OL/PMS plans to begin a PMR of the
Office of Technical Service Contracts Management Staff (OTS/CMS) in
late March 1988. The PMR is not intended to be an audit or
inspection along the lines of the Inspector General's activities,
nor is it intended to create additional work for OTS/CMS or the OTS
program managers. Rather, its purpose is to support the efforts of
OTS/CMS and to assist you and your program managers in performing
your mission more effectively.
2. The 2-member PMR team will be headed by
PMR Officer. Its review will address five major
O Management of the Procurement Function
O Preaward Contract Activities
O Contract Award Activities
o Contract Administration
o Contract Settlement and Closeout
areas:
The review of the above areas will involve interviews with the
members of OTS/CMS and program personnel and the perusal of a
representative sample of contract files, including requests for
proposals, active contracts, contracts in settlement, and settled
contracts.
3. The Chief, CMS/OTS, is aware of this
planned PMR, which is expected to take between 6 and 8 weeks from
the beginning of the review to the presentation of the final PMR
report to you and your staff.

identification of improvements in the quality of OTS contracting
activity and to provide remedies for current difficulties that
