submit the results of the DHS review to the HCA to satisfy the ICP Compliance
Certification requirements for that fiscal year.
(2) Electronic Assessment. Commandant (CG-851) conducts random reviews of synopsis and
solicitation information and other electronically available contract action information by
scanning the Federal Business Opportunities website and Contract Information Management
System (CIMS), and by running Federal Procurement Database System (FPDS) and
Financial and Procurement Desktop (FPD) reports. These reviews may result in further
examination of a procurement unit's files and processes.
(3) Surveys. Commandant (CG-851) conducts surveys of formal procurement units every fiscal
year via the Balanced Scorecard program. Simplified acquisition units may also be invited to
participate in the annual surveys by Commandant (CG-851). The surveys include a number
of questions concerning timeliness, quality of services, management and other issues
identified as important to the customers and employees of each procurement unit. Results
from the surveys are analyzed and reported to the HCA and to each COCO. Results from the
surveys are used to help assess the condition of each procurement unit and may be used to
identify units that require additional training or onsite reviews.
(4) Responsive assessment. Commandant (CG-851) may investigate specific contract actions in
response to protests, congressional inquiries, ombudsman requests, or any other action that
provides sufficient cause for further investigation. All procurement units are subject to
responsive assessment.
(5) Management Assistance Consultation (MAC). Commandant (CG-851) conducts
consultation visits upon request by any procurement unit. The scope of the consultation is
dependent upon the needs of the particular unit and may be directed at a specific problem or
may be larger in scope. The MAC program also provides onsite training (referred to as the
training "road show"), which is provided by members of Commandant (CG-85). The road
show is intended to provide supplemental procurement training in certain subjects on an as
needed basis to a procurement unit. The road show training may be used to satisfy annual
skills currency training hours for purposes of warrant maintenance. Commandant (CG-851)
maintains a list of subjects that are available as part of the road show and COCOs may
contact Commandant (CG-851) for availability. The road show is separate and distinct from
the warrant program administered by Commandant (CG-852) that manages the training
courses required to attain a warrant and certification. Information about the Commandant
(CG-852) warrant program may be accessed on the Office of Procurement Management's
(CG-85) Internet website.
(6) Contract Review Board (CRB). At the discretion of the HCA, a CRB may be convened to
review high-dollar acquisitions or actions (i.e., those acquisitions/actions that are valued at or
above million). The HCA has the discretion to convene a CRB for actions less than
million if the action is determined by the HCA to be high-visibility or complex. The CRB is
convened on an as-needed basis and is intended to monitor contract actions to ensure
compliance with acquisition policies, procedures and regulations and to ensure that
contracting decisions reflect sound business judgment. The CRB may be established when
the contract is signed or otherwise as directed by the HCA. Commandant (CG-85) shall
