1.5  Is an Acquisition Plan Required?

Acquisition planning is required for all acquisitions per FAR 7.102(a).  Dollar thresholds determine format and content, which are described in DFARS 207.103, AFFARS 5307.104-92 and AFSPC/AFMC MAJCOM supplements thereto.  The decision to use PPT should result from advance planning and thorough consideration of all aspects of the requirement and other available acquisition strategies.  When applicable, complete the plan and provide to the review office as early in the acquisition process as possible.
