How do requirements “flow-down” from Contractors to their Sub-contractors?
September 3, 1999: The government can only control what we put into contracts with our prime (in this case, M&O) contractors. And so we require APP of our primes. We cannot control nor dictate what the primes require of their subcontractors. However, we strongly encourage our contractors to “flow down” these requirements to their contractors, the subs. The primes decided what to require of their contractors. Some do flow down our APP requirements, some don’t.
