(4) If a subsequent contract or a contract modification significantly enlarges the scope of or changes the methods or controls for activities performed by the same supplier, an audit of the modified requirements is conducted, thus starting a new triennial period. (5) If the supplier is implementing the same QAP for other customers that are proposed for use on the auditing party’s contract, the preaward survey may serve as the first triennial audit. Therefore, when such preaward surveys are employed, as the first triennial audits, they must satisfy the same audit elements and criteria as those used on other triennial audits. (6) If more than one purchaser buys from a single supplier, a purchaser may either perform or arrange for an audit of the supplier on behalf of itself and other purchasers to reduce the number of external audits of the supplier. The scope of this audit should satisfy the needs of all of the purchasers, and the audit report should be distributed to all the purchasers for whom the audit was conducted.
