(a)(1) As delegated by the COCO and consistent with the warrant level of the contracting officer, for a proposed contract not exceeding $550,000, the CO’s certification required by FAR 6.303-2(a)(12) will serve as approval.
(a)(3) The heads of the procuring activities for the Product Centers, Air Logistics Centers, and AFRL have delegated authority to approve J&As for actions over $11.5M but not exceeding $78.5M as set forth in the Appendices.
(a)(4)(90) Reference AFFARS MP5306.304; paragraph (a)(4). HQ AFMC/PK shall review and coordinate on all J&A’s that exceed $78.5M, except for PEO/DAO programs and PEO/DAO Special Access Programs. This review and coordination includes service actions within the AFPEO/CM portfolio. Contracting Officers shall submit justifications requiring approval by the Senior Procurement Executive (SPE) to HQ AFMC/PK for coordination prior to submitting to SAF/AQCK. Contracting Officers shall submit a copy of their approved Acquisition Plan/Life Cycle Management Plan, the completed Coordination and Approval Document, and a copy of the J&A to the HQ AFMC/PK workflow account. See AFMCFARS IG5306 for sample Coordination and Approval Document showing minimum signatures required.
(a)(4)(90)(i) For AFMC, non-PEO/DAO Special Access Programs (SAP) over $78.5M, the Contracting Officer shall submit the required documentation for HQ AFMC/PK coordination through the HQ AFMC/A5J PK Contracting Chief by secure means, not via the HQ AFMC/PK workflow account. This individual shall handle all of the coordination of the documents through approved secure channels ensuring only program cleared personnel are involved. Once HQ AFMC/PK review has been completed, HQ AFMC/A5J shall handle any coordination needed with SAF/AQC through the SAF/AQLX Special Access Program Staff Contracting Officer via approved secure program channels.
(a)(4)(90)(ii) This policy does not apply to Special Access Programs that HQ AFMC/A5J is not cleared to review. For these programs/situations, please contact SAF/AQLX for guidance on how the J&A’s for these programs shall be staffed.
(e) The contract ceiling of an existing indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract (IDIQ) shall be used when determining the approval level of a justification to extend the IDIQ contract ordering period
