FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 44: Subcontracting Policies and Procedures › Subpart 44.3
FAR 44.307 Reports.
The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.
In plain English
This section tells the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) how to distribute reports from a Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR), including notifications about system approval status and Government recommendations for improvement. It matters to contractors because they are among the required recipients of these documents, though the Government may choose not to send back the contractor's own response.
Applies to: The ACO distributing CPSR reports and related notifications
What it requires
- Distribute copies of CPSR reports, approval notifications, and Government recommendations (including the contractor's response) to the cognizant contract audit office
- Distribute those materials to activities prescribed by the cognizant agency
- Distribute those materials to the contractor, except that furnishing copies of the contractor's response is optional
