Subcontract Management

Amstar promotes supplier development and diversity with prime suppliers through our subcontracting policy, which specifically addresses subcontracting with qualified diverse business units.

When appropriate Amstar will:

• Announce contract awards having significant subcontracting opportunities and provide technical assistance and referrals diverse business units to our prime suppliers.
• Negotiate contract-specific subcontracting plans based on market research results (data collected, analyzed and documented) that support effective contract performance.
• Conduct quarterly reviews of reports on subcontracting activity required from each supplier awarded a contract valued at $500K or more.
• Conduct quarterly reviews of reports against subcontracting plans required from each supplier awarded a contract valued at $1 million or more.
• Host meetings of top prime suppliers to ensure adequate understanding of Amstar policies and performance expectations in subcontracting.
• Obtain timely and accurate subcontracting reports from all suppliers.
• Periodically sample 5% of supplier reports to identify gaps and implement continuous improvement initiatives.
