Sunflower Experts to Address DFARS “Business Rule” Compliance at NPMA Rocket City Meeting

Jan. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- On January 16, 2013 Sunflower subject matter experts Robert Kaehler, CPPS and Brian Thompson, CPPM CF will address one of the newest challenges facing government contractors doing business with the Department of Defense which is mitigating risk under the new DFARs 252.242-7005 "Business Systems Rule".  This clause puts contractors at risk for losing 5% or even 10% of their payments if one or more of their six business systems are not deemed adequate, including their Material Management Accounting System (252.242-7004) and their Property Management System (252.245-7003).

Specific compliance topics will include:
• The identification of items that require a Unique Item Identifier (UII)
• Generating and verifying compliant UII marks
• Outline all lifecycle “trigger events” which require contractors to update either the Wide-Area Workflow (WAWF) or the IUID Registry
• Best practices in interfacing to the Wide-Area Workflow (WAWF) and the IUID Registry

The meeting will be held at Intergraph Corporation’s corporate headquarters located at 19 Interpro Road, Madison, AL from 11;30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. CST.  For contact information and further details, go to http://rocketcity.npma.org/.
