Information to Cooperative Agreement
Holders, in solicitations and contracts,
including solicitations and contracts
using Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) part 12 procedures for the
acquisition of commercial products and
commercial services, which are
expected to exceed $1.5 million. This
clause implements 10 U.S.C. 4957 by
requiring contractors to provide
cooperative agreement holders, upon
request, with a list of the contractor’s
employees or offices responsible for
entering into subcontracts under DoD
contracts. The Contractor need not
provide the listing to a particular
cooperative agreement holder more
frequently than once a year. Upon
receipt of a contractor’s list, the
cooperative agreement holder utilizes
the information to identify and pursue
contracting opportunities with DoD and
expand the number of businesses
capable of participating in Government
contracts.

• Respond in writing to written
reports from the Government that
identify deficiencies in the estimating
system.
DoD contracting officers use this
information to determine if the
contractor has an adequate system for
generating cost estimates, which
forecasts costs based on appropriate
source information available at the time,
and has the ability to monitor the
correction of significant deficiencies.
The need for information collection
decreases as contractor estimating
systems improve and gain contracting
officer approval.

Needs and Uses: Administrative
contracting officers use this information
in making decisions to approve or
disapprove a contractor’s purchase
system. The disapproval of a
contractor’s purchasing system would
necessitate Government consent to
individual subcontracts and possibly
prompt a financial withhold or other
Government rights and remedies.
DFARS 244.305, Granting, Withholding,
or Withdrawing Approval, provides
policy guidance for administrative
contracting officers to determine the
acceptability of the contractor’s
purchasing system and approve or
disapprove the system, at the
completion of the in-plant portion of a
contractor purchasing system review,
and to pursue correction of any
deficiencies with the contractor. DFARS
clause 252.244–7001, Contractor
Purchasing System Administration,
requires the contractor to respond
within 30 days to a written initial
determination from the contracting
officer that identifies significant
deficiencies in the contractor’s
purchasing system. The contracting
officer will evaluate the contractor’s

response to this initial determination
and notify the contractor in writing of
any remaining significant deficiencies,
the adequacy of any proposed or
completed corrective action, and system
disapproval if the contracting officer
determines that one or more significant
deficiencies remain. If the contractor
receives the contracting officer’s final
determination of significant
deficiencies, the contractor has 45 days
to either correct the significant
deficiencies or submit an acceptable
corrective action plan.
