EVMS Center Business Practice 6: EVMS Compliance Review (CR) - dated November 22, 2023
DCMA Business Practice (BP) 6 defines the process for the EVMS Center personnel to conduct the planning, execution, and reporting of initial contractor EVMS compliance. EVMS assessments are conducted for prime contacts and subcontracts where there is a contractual requirement for a Compliance Review (CR). A CR is required for any EVMS that has not been formally reviewed for compliance.
A CR is a comprehensive assessment of a contractor's system, comprised of a System Description (SD), command media, processes, related tools, and the contractor's ability to implement the EVM system on contracts with an EVMS requirement. The intent is to demonstrate and document compliance with the EIA-748 Standard for EVMS Guidelines. There are three steps for evaluating compliance:
- Assess whether the contractor's EVM SD adequately documents how its system meets the intent of the EIA-748 Guidelines;
- Evaluate the contractor's ability to demonstrate the EVMS implementation as described in the SD and supplemental procedures;
- Verify whether the EVMS is providing timely, accurate, reliable and auditable data.
The assessment of compliance with the EIA-748 Guidelines is the final report DCMA produces. A result of a successful compliance review is a formal determination by the DCMA that the contractor's EVMS is approved as being compliant with the EIA-748 Guidelines.
