Air Force Contracting Self-Assessment Program

[ Revised April 6, 2015 ]

(INTERIM CHANGE: See Policy Memo 15-C-02)

1. Objective. The Air Force Self-Assessment program assesses compliance with federal laws, regulatory policies, and DoD and AF directives and instructions across the enterprise. It is also used to verify adequacy of contract preparation.

2. Self-Assessment Program. MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFRCO SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO), will manage a self-assessment program, which includes both the assessment of individual contract files and the assessment of contracting management programs contained in the Contracting Self-Assessment Communicator (SAC) under AFI 90-201, located on the SAF/IG MICT Website. As a minimum, contracting offices must perform self-assessments of individual contract files on an annual basis. Assessment of contracting management programs and MICT input are based on the requirements contained in AFI 90-201.

For self-assessment of individual contract files reviewed after award, MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFRCO SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO) may use the applicable sections of the on-line Reviewers Checklist; a comparable organizational checklist for post award reviews; the Air Force Contracting Self-Inspection Checklist; or any combination thereof. MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFRCO SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO) will make this determination.

MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFRCO SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO) will ensure corrective actions are implemented as a result of any self-assessment. Contracting offices must have a documented program for self-assessment, to include a process for closing resolved findings in a timely manner, ensuring an effective level of review necessary to close a finding, and integrating findings and resolutions into unit training.

3. Reporting. For the annual trend analysis, organizations are authorized to utilize trends found during the self-assessment process, clearance process, peer reviews, or contract committee reviews as the basis for their submissions. MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFRCO SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO) may determine the content and format for the Consolidated Trend Analysis Report. However, the analysis must provide an assessment of unit compliance, findings resolution, including retraining activity, and identify overall patterns of non-compliance observed.
