### Air Force Contracting Compliance Inspection Program

#### March 2009

1. Objective. The Air Force Compliance Inspection 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 and contractor performance evaluation. The enterprise-wide Compliance Inspection Checklist assists contracting officers and inspectors in preparing, reviewing, and inspecting contract files and management programs.

2. Compliance Inspection Program. Senior Contracting Officials (SCO) will manage a MAJCOM/DRU compliance inspection program to include self-inspection and oversight of the MAJCOM contracting inspection program under AFI 90-201, paragraph A6.3.2. SCOs must direct a ll contracting offices to perform a compliance self-inspection in accordance with AFI 90-201, Paragraph 2.5 at least annually for contracting offices. When contracting offices are required by their installation leadership to perform at least annual self-inspection, the SCO will use the results of this inspection. Contracting offices must have a documented program for self-inspection 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 the unit training program.

3. Compliance Inspection Checklist. Air Force contracting offices will use the Air Force Contracting Compliance Inspection Checklist when conducting compliance and self inspections. MAJCOMS/DRUs and contracting offices may supplement the checklist with items approved by the SCO. HQ AFMC/PK and HQ AFSPC/A7K are authorized to reformat and supplement these items for use on non-operational contracting inspections. This checklist will be used for MAJCOM compliance inspections performed in accordance with AFI 90-201.

4. Reporting. SCOs must forward a trend analysis for the current and previous year to SAF/AQCP Workflow by 31 January of each year along with recommended changes to the standardized checklist. SCOs may determine the content and format for the trend analysis. However, the analysis must provide an assessment of unit compliance, findings resolution, including retraining activity, and identify overall patterns of non-compliance observed.
