PREFACE

Following are mandatory procedures (MP) for standardizing the Air Force (AF) contracting process regarding designation, assignment, and responsibilities of a Contracting Officer's Representative and will be used when awarding services acquisitions exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). While 10 U.S.C. 2330 exempts services relating to research and development and military construction from the term "contract services", the Contracting Officer (CO) may still elect to use the procedures in this MP for these services.
