Managing Subcontracts: Challenges and Best Practices for Government Prime Contractors

April 30, 2009

Government prime contractors must often select and manage multiple subcontractors and comply with a tremendous number of complex laws, regulations, policies, standards, and specifications. They must also face a growing level of government oversight (i.e., audits, reviews, investigations, etc.).  By discussing these and other the critical challenges prime contractors face, as well as analyzing proven best practices, prime contractors can better manage their respective supply chains to both comply with all the applicable laws, regulations, policies, etc. involved in contracting with the government, and also achieve on-time delivery of quality products and/or services, within budget, which meet or exceed the customer’s requirements.
