Is Your Purchasing System Compliant for the Alliant 2 RFP?

In late June 2016, the highly coveted Alliant 2 SB RFP was released and within the 174 page document, there lies section L.5.4.2 Approved Purchasing System.  This scoring element is 1500 points of the total points and requires offerors to provide support that their purchasing system has been approved for compliance within the past five years though a Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR).     

So what if your Company’s purchasing system has never been reviewed? The good news is that your proposal will still be considered less the 1500 points.  But, in order to improve your competitiveness further down the line, you will want to think about having a third party review your purchasing system.  Your Company will then be in a better position to understand potential problems with the system and implement solutions to these problems.  While a third party review may not allow you to claim the 1500 points, the value add will be tremendous towards understanding the efficiency and effectiveness with which your company spends Government funds, thus increasing your Company’s competiveness.
