Calyptus Consulting Group, Inc. has
completed over thirty (30) procurement system reviews (PSRs) covering nine (9)
task orders under our current contract with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
We helped create the current PSR Guide dated May 2001, that is posted on the FTA
website. We participated in numerous Headquarter and FTA Regional Office
conferences on FTA Oversight and Purchasing System compliance. We have performed
special projects for FTA at WMATA, GCRTA, GBTA, and IndyGo in a quick response
mode. We accompanied the FTA Administrator to Capital Hill to provide support to
Congressional inquiries regarding one large FTA grantee. We believe that our
assessment skills are second to none, because we employ qualified individuals
that focus on continuous improvement, teamwork, and effective communication. We
give useful recommendations and support materials; and, have sensitivity for
implementation issues at FTA Grantees.
When conducting PSRs,
we evaluate the key potential issues that might surface. We evaluate the
specific issues identifiable when interviewing Grantee management, reviewing
procurement policies and practices, evaluating Grantee staff and working with
FTA staff.
