Government Approved Purchasing System
The successful completion of our Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) signifies EPS as an established government contractor implementing a purchasing system approved by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) for all Federal and commercial contracts. The DCMA-approved purchasing system limits the government’s contracting risk – particularly for Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), Multiple Award Contracts (MACs) and other procurements where significant subcontracting is required. Additionally, advanced Government authorization is not required when awarding subcontracts on existing Federal contracts, thereby enhancing EPS’ efficiency, timeliness and position as a viable and responsive Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.

Earned Value Management System (EVMS)
SAP is also the core application supporting EPS’ EVMS implementation providing a robust and integrated platform to meet the ANSI/EIA Standard 748-98 guidelines and the DoD 5000.2-R requirements.

EPS’ EVMS implementation will support the measured achievement of the cost, schedule, and performance goals of projects requiring EVM. Visibility and transparency throughout the project’s life cycle will be achieved through EPS’ EVM reporting tools and the SAP application.
