(a) An Advance Acquisition Planning Template (AAPT) (formerly the Advance Notice of Initiative for Potential APEC Review) (see 90.1103) shall be completed for all proposed acquisitions requiring review/approval at DLA HQ that meet the criteria and the dollar thresholds identified below. Templates must be electronically submitted to J-72 for review and approval once the contracting activity has sufficient information to complete the template. Excluded from this requirement are those acquisitions identified in paragraph 7.104-90. Once J-72 reviews the template, the contracting activity will be advised whether they have authority to proceed with the acquisition. All templates submitted to DLA HQ for review must be coordinated with the contracting activity's Director of Small Business and Office of Counsel and be approved by the Chief of the Contracting Office. (Orders under proposed acquisitions for which the maximum anticipated value was included in a previously submitted template with a single all-inclusive acquisition plan need not be submitted for approval separately.)
