DLAD PGI



PGI 7.104-91 ADVANCE ACQUISITION PLANNING TEMPLATE (AAPT).

(a) The AAPT or acquisition plan submitted to DLA HQ Acquisition Operations Division (J72) for review must reflect documented coordination by the field activity with the field activity's Director of Small Business or Small Business Specialist and Counsel with approval by the Chief of the Contracting Office (CCO). (Refer to DLAD 7.104-91 where the Acquisition Plan may be submitted instead of the AAPT.)

(b) The AAPT or acquisition plan will be submitted as early as possible in the acquisition planning process, and at least fifteen (15) business days prior to completion of any formal procurement documents, to include the final BCA, if applicable, and solicitation. The AAPT or acquisition plan will be electronically submitted by the field activity to DLA HQ J72 for review and approval by the J7, once the contracting activity has sufficient information.

(c) DLA HQ J72 is responsible for review coordination among DLA HQ J code directorates, Small Business, and General Counsel. DLA HQ J72 will advise the contracting activity normally within ten (10) business days after receipt of the AAPT (or acquisition plan) if the proposed acquisition is approved or whether the DLA HQ J7 requires an IARB. Complex or high-dollar acquisitions may require up to twenty (20) business days for approval. If the DLA HQ J72 advises that an IARB will be held, the notification will be in writing by the DLA HQ J72 on behalf of the DLA HQ J7. The field activity must consider this review as additional time within their planned Procurement Administrative Lead Time (PALT).

(d) During DLA HQ review of the AAPT or acquisition plan, the DLA HQ J72 may request other supporting documentation from the field activity, depending on the type of acquisition and its complexity, e.g., D&F, J&A, consolidation determination, and/or draft solicitation.

(e) Review comments require resolution and/or written responses from the field activity to DLA HQ J72, as well as approval from the DLA HQ J72 on behalf of the DLA HQ J7, prior to proceeding with the acquisition.

(f) Review and approval by DLA HQ will be provided in writing to the field activity by the DLA HQ J72 on behalf of the DLA HQ J7.

(g) Once the proposed acquisition is approved, no significant changes shall be made without prior DLA HQ J7 approval or by the DLA HQ J72 on behalf of the DLA HQ J7.

(h) After approval of the AAPT or acquisition plan, DLA HQ J72 may perform a follow-up review, requesting other documentation, depending on the type of acquisition and its complexity, e.g., D&F(s), J&A, consolidation determination, solicitation, and/or contract with pricing memoranda.

(i) Proposed acquisitions meeting the criteria and thresholds at DLAD 7.104-91 must be summarized using the AAPT below, in paragraph (j), to include milestones. (Refer to DLAD 7.104-91, which allows an alternate submission, the acquisition plan.) Include a discussion, with factual basis and legal analysis, of whether the planned acquisition constitutes a consolidation in accordance with DFARS Subpart 207.170. Submit the AAPT electronically to DLA HQ J72 for review. A response from DLA HQ J72 on behalf of the DLA HQ J7 will be normally be provided within ten (10) business days after receipt. A complex acquisition may take up to twenty (20) business days. Review comments require written responses with resolution to DLA HQ J72 from the field activity, then written approval from DLA HQ J72, through signature on the AAPT, on behalf of the DLA HQ J7, prior to proceeding with the acquisition.
