DASG will assist your company in the development and implementation of plans and procedures to eliminate problems cited in the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Corrective Action Requests (CARS).
A Corrective Action Request (CAR) is a formal notice from the Supplier Quality Control (SQM), often provided during an audit of the business system, requesting the removal of an item, product, process, or non-compliance to create a remedy. Corrective Action Requests demand that the cause of non-compliance of a product, process, or service be removed to prevent recurrence and is usually decided during quality assurance activities. Such non-compliances are handled by corrective action.
The DoD has four tiers of Corrective Action Requests, each depending on the nature of the non-compliance:
Ordered for non-compliance that is not perceived to be systemic, significant, or recurrent and can be corrected immediately with no further corrective action is required.
Issued when non-compliance with the contract cannot be resolved immediately and are provided at the supplier management level responsible for taking corrective measures where the non-compliance with the agreement cannot be corrected.
Issued to the supplier’s management to draw attention to the significant non-compliance of the contract and contract solutions such as reductions in payments or denial of business management systems may be involved.
Provided to the top management of the supplier when Level 3 has been unsuccessful and may be combined with contractual remedies to include suspension of progress payments, suspension of product acceptance activities. Can also be issued if the contractual non-compliance is severe enough to justify contractual remedies.

DFARS 252.204-7012
If you are a DoD contractor, you have probably heard of the recent DFARs requirements for cyber security and how they are above and beyond the standard NIST 800-171 compliance framework. Many of the new guidelines are complicated enough to warrant most DoD contracting businesses to dedicate staff to this requirement. This presents a serious challenge to small businesses who often wear multiple hats supporting their work life and do not have specialized cyber security staff to handle these needs.
Let dasg and AVATAR help.
dasg and AVATAR Computing has extensive cyber security and government compliance experience, leveraging over 15 years of DoD system security support for U. S. Army, Air Force and Navy. AVATAR has not only supported the DoD, but we specialized in supporting the government’s efforts in working with commercial industry through technology.
