(a) The Master Buy Plan applies to each negotiated acquisition, including supplemental agreements, and acquisitions through or from other Government agencies, where the dollar value, including the aggregate amount of options, follow-on acquisitions, or later phases of multi-phase acquisitions, is expected to equal or exceed $50,000,000.
(b) For initial annual Master Buy Plan submission only, each installation shall submit its three largest acquisitions regardless of dollar value and all acquisitions over $50,000,000.
(c) The procedure also applies to:
(1) Any supplemental agreement that contains either new work, a debit change order, or a credit change order (or any combination/ consolidation thereof), if the absolute value of the actions equals or exceeds $50,000,000 (e.g., the absolute value of a supplemental agreement adding $30,000,000 of new work and deleting $30,000,000 of work is $60,000,000, and is therefore subject to the Master Buy Plan).
(2) Any supplement agreement that contains one or more elements (new work and/or individual change orders) of a sensitive nature that, in the judgment of the installation or Headquarters, warrants Headquarters consideration under the Master Buy Plan, even though the value does not equal or exceed $50,000,000.
(3) Any cooperative agreement notice where the total value (the Government's contribution plus the contribution of the recipient) of any resulting cooperative agreement is expected to equal or exceed $50,000,000.
(4) All new acquisitions excluding supplemental agreements, where the total value is expected to exceed $10,000,000, and the estimated Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) or Space Operations Mission Directorate (SOMD) funding, or the combined estimated ESMD/SOMD funding, exceeds 50 percent of the total value of the acquisition.
(5) Any acquisition designated by NASA Headquarters regardless of its value.
(d) The Master Buy Plan does not apply to incremental funding actions or termination settlement agreements.
