Retreadfed, what's your source for the above statement. As a prime contractor employee who works subcontracts--and the survivor of half-a-dozen CPSRs--I don't think I agree with your assertion, and I'm pretty sure DCMA and DCAA wouldn't either. Certainly FAR 44 doesn't support it. I am sure you made an overly broad statement in your attempt to make a point, but I would hate for someone to be misled.
