Procurement Compliance for Construction & Engineering Contractors
Davis Bacon wage compliance, FAR Part 36 construction contracting, bonding documentation, subcontractor flow down, and DOL ready files in one audit ready procurement platform.
Pain points
Where procurement
compliance breaks down
Three audit risks common on construction & engineering contracts.
Davis Bacon and Labor Standards Documentation
Construction contracts subject to Davis Bacon Act requirements need procurement files that document wage determination applicability, subcontractor certifications, and conformance before work begins.
- Core risk, Engineering and construction contractors with high subcontractor utilization must verify that every subcontract includes applicable wage determinations and certified payroll requirements at award.
- Audit exposure, not when DOL requests files.
Disconnected from procurement record
FAR Part 36 Construction Contracting Requirements
FAR Part 36 establishes distinct acquisition procedures for construction including design build evaluation, liquidated damages, bonding requirements, and two phase selection procedures.
- Email only approvals, Construction program managers need procurement files organized to Part 36 phases not adapted from services contracting templates that omit construction specific gates.
- Undocumented obligation, Approvals invisible to auditors.
Procurement file MOD 02
Bonding and Subcontractor Flow Down Compliance
Construction contracts require payment and performance bonds at thresholds that vary by agency and contract type.
- Core risk, When subcontract compliance is verified informally, primes discover flow down gaps during claims.
- Audit exposure, disputes, or agency reviews.
- IGCE worksheet
- Funding profile
- Source selection plan
- J&A memo
- Price analysis v3?
- Subcontracting plan
Auditors wait while teams reconstruct timelines from email and shared drives.
How ProcureAudit addresses this
Verification built into every procurement record
Construction and engineering primes choose ProcureAudit when Procore manages the site and ERP manages the books but neither produces the FAR Part 36 procurement files that protect you on labor standards and subcontract audits.

ProcureAudit vs. how you do it today
Construction contractors compare ProcureAudit against project management platforms and spreadsheet subcontract tracking that lack FAR Part 36 compliance structure. See how purpose built construction GovCon compliance reduces DOL and agency finding risk.
