Subcontract Management: Program Office Involvement on Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee Prime Contracts.

Abstract

This study examines the complex issue of the involvement of program office personnel in subcontract management. Legal restrictions, comprising the doctrine of Privity of Contract, prevent direct management of subcontractors by program office personnel. The Armed Services Procurement Regulation provisions that define the extent to which program office personnel can get involved in subcontract management are presented, however. AFter defining subcontract management terms, and the need for subcontract management improvement, some current attempts to accomplish the needed improvements are discussed. Recommendations are offered which can, if implemented, directly affect the overall effectiveness of program office personnel involved in subcontract management. (Author)
