Earned Value Management System (EVMS) is required for all acquisitions for development
designated as major in accordance with OMB Circular A-11, and for development
or production contracts and subcontracts, including those for flight and ground
support requirements, and institutional requirements (facility, IT investment,
etc.) as follows:
(i) For contracts and subcontracts valued at
$20M or more, and contracts and subcontracts for major acquisitions valued at
less than $20M, the EVMS shall comply with the guidelines in the ANSI/EIA-748
Standard.
(ii) For contracts and subcontracts valued at
$50M or more, the contractor shall have an EVMS that has been formally
validated and accepted by the Government.
(iii) For contracts and subcontracts for other
than major acquisitions valued at less than $20M, earned value management
application is optional and is a risk-based decision that is at the discretion
of the program/project manager.
(iv) EVM is not required on contracts for
non-developmental engineering support services, steady state operations, basic
and applied research, and routine services such as janitorial services or
grounds maintenance services. In these
cases, application of EVM is at the discretion of the program/project manager.
(e) Contracting officers shall
request the assistance of the cognizant Defense Contract Management Agency
(DCMA) office in determining the adequacy of proposed EVMS plans.
