7.104-91. Advance Acquisition Planning Template (AAPT).
(a) An AAPT shall be completed and submitted to DLA HQ J72 by field activities without an Acquisition Executive (AE) for all proposed acquisitions that meet the criteria and the dollar thresholds identified in paragraph (d), Table 1 below. (Refer to DLAD PGI 7.104-91 for the AAPT template.) An AAPT is not required for and is not applicable to acquisitions that meet the criteria for the ASRP and IARB. (Refer to DLAD 7.104-90.)
(b) The acquisition plan may be submitted instead of an AAPT, at the option of the field activity's Chief of the Contracting Office (CCO).
(c) Field activities with AEs, which currently include DLA Aviation, DLA Energy, DLA Land and Maritime, and DLA Troop Support, are not required to submit an AAPT; however, each AE must establish and maintain adequate and appropriate internal controls for oversight and review of acquisitions meeting the criteria in paragraph (d).
(d) Table 1. AAPT or Acquisition Plan Requirement for Review and Approval at DLA HQ.

(Note: The field activity CCO may request a waiver of submission and review and approval of the AAPT or acquisition plan from the DLA HQ J72 for routine procurements of supplies and/or services; the request must be in writing with rationale and sufficient detail to form a decision.) |
