MP5317.7802-1 Direct and Assisted Acquisitions

(a) Applicability.

(b) AFI 65-116, Air Force Purchases Using Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests (MIPRs) establishes supporting Air Force contracting office review responsibilities for assisted acquisitions. Warranted contracting officers are required to review all MIPR packages for requirements exceeding $500,000 that will result in a contract action. Either warranted contracting officers or contract specialists will execute these responsibilities for MIPR packages below that threshold.

(c) In accordance with DFARS 217.7802, Policy, when the amount of the order exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, a Determination and Finding (D&F) is required. See AFI 65-116 for a sample Interagency Acquisition D&F. In accordance with DoDI 4000.19, Interservice and Intragovernmental Support, paragraph 4.3, requesting and supplying activity determinations are signified by signing a support agreement (blocks 8 and 9 on DD Form 1144) and no further written D&F is required for agreements between DoD activities.
