Federal Procurement & Subcontracting Support
Whether you are navigating a CPSR under a federal contract or managing a complex supply chain under a federal grant, Akiri Consulting ensures your procurement systems are audit-ready. We provide senior-level oversight for both FAR-based acquisitions and 2 CFR 200 assistance awards.
Procurement Systems & Audit Readiness
We design and refine procurement systems that meet the specific scrutiny of your award vehicle. From drafting corporate policies and award manuals to performing mock audits, we ensure your team is equipped to handle the rigors of federal oversight. This may include FAR 52.244 subcontract requirements, 2 CFR 200 procurement regulations, or a combination of both.
​
FAR Part 44 & CPSR Support
For contractors with high-volume federal contract work, we provide end-to-end support for Contractor Purchasing System Reviews (CPSR). We focus on FAR 52.244 compliance, ensuring your policies, competition documentation, and price reasonableness justifications meet USG expectations.
​
2 CFR 200 Procurement Standards
For grant and cooperative agreement recipients, we align your purchasing workflows with the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.317–327). We help you navigate both formal and informal procurement requirements and manage the specific documentation required for non-federal entity procurement.
Subcontract, Subrecipient, and Vendor Management
Managing downstream partners is one of the highest-risk areas for any federal contractor or recipient. Akiri helps you design a flow-down strategy that protects your organization while ensuring partner performance.
​
Compliant Agreement Drafting & Negotiations
We develop tailored templates for Subcontracts (under FAR) and Subaward and Vendor Agreements (under 2 CFR 200). We ensure all mandatory flow-down clauses are included, such as audit access rights, while leading the negotiation process to protect your prime interest.
​
Purchasing System Mock Audits & Remediation
Don't wait for a formal government review to find gaps. We conduct comprehensive internal audits of your procurement files, identifying missing justifications or compliance lapses, revising your procurement policy and manual, and providing immediate remediation to secure your system's approval.
Subcontract Negotiation & Due Diligence
A subcontract is only as strong as its negotiation record. We lead the due diligence process to ensure your subcontractors are not only technically capable but also financially responsible and ethically aligned.
​​
Negotiation Memoranda & Cost/Price Analysis
We document the final negotiation results in a formal Negotiation Memorandum. This includes a detailed Cost and/or Price Analysis that compares the sub’s bid against historical data or other market benchmarks to satisfy the government’s "Reasonableness" standard.
​
Justification for Non-Competitive Awards (Sole Source)
When competition isn't practical, the documentation burden increases. We help you draft robust Sole Source Justifications and Price Reasonableness Determinations that meet the Responsibility standards of the FAR, ensuring your file is defensible during a CPSR or contract audit.
