Why Are We Changing It?

• To achieve more efficiency and effectiveness
• To align reviews to customer focus and objectives
• To make a difference in the DoD small business
  goals
• What Will It Look Like?
• Assignments based on buying command versus
  geographic location of contractor
• Contractor assigned to buying command with
  preponderance of work
• Reviews conducted via a more defined risk-based
  approach
• Emphasis on what customers need to improve
  overall small business performance of their
  contracts
• Emphasis on contractors not meeting contract
  goals or traditional goals
• Contractors exceeding contract/traditional goals
  will never have onsite review
• Subcontracting plans will be assigned based on
  buying command POCs
• PTAC reviews will be completed based on
  geographic location
