Please address customer-directed subcontractors.
Response: The Supplier Agreement Management process area states that
it is applicable to a ???contract, a license, or a memorandum of agreement??? for
acquired products that are ???delivered to the project from the supplier and
becomes part of the products delivered to the customer.??? It applies primarily
to both internal and external ???arm??™s length??? relationships where the prime
contractor lets an identifiable piece of customer deliverable work to a subcontractor
and the project manager is not directly involved in managing the
activities of the supplier.
The Supplier Agreement Management process area does not apply to products
that are not delivered to the project??™s customer, such as nondeliverable
development tools. It does apply to commercial vendors if their product is
included in the product delivered to the customer. It does not apply to hourly
contract workers who are managed in the same way as any other member of
the project team.
For all deliverable work not covered by the Supplier Agreement Management
process area, the project management process areas (PP, PMC, RSKM,
IPM, and QPM) and the additional IPPD goals (if IPPD is implemented and
that part of the model is used in the organization) will apply.
