Air Force Contracting Compliance Inspection Program
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. 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. MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFISRA SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO), will manage a compliance inspection program to include self-inspection and oversight of the MAJCOM contracting Self-Assessment Program under AFI 90-201. MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFISRA SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO), must direct all contracting offices to perform a compliance self-inspection in accordance with AFI 90-201 at least annually. When contracting offices are required by their installation leadership to perform at least annual self-inspection, the MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFISRA SCOs (or for SMC, the SCCO) 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. MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFISRA SCOs (or contracting offices if approved by the SCO) may supplement the checklist. HQ AFMC/PK and the SMC SCCO 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. MAJCOM/DRU/HQ AFICA/AFISRA 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.
