To resolve order fulfillment delays, the CAS will research possible sources of support, in accordance with DIRECTOR, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT (J-7) CROSS-PROCESS POLICY MEMORANDUM 05-002, Expedite Policy and Processes. If contacted by a Supply Planner or CAS, the Post-Award AS, in coordination with the Product Specialist and Industrial Specialist, as applicable, may recommend consideration of one of the potential alternative sourcing strategies identified below, if appropriate. These potential alternatives would be in addition to any other actions being considered in accordance with policies at 11.401-90, 43.103(a)(90)(1)(i), and 49.101(c).
(a) If any vendor was recently removed from the purchase text acquisition identification description, an effort will be underway to facilitate that vendor’s addition back into the purchase order text in accordance with 11.302-90(a)(1). If this is the case, determine if the projected time required for evaluation is less than the anticipated order fulfillment delay.
(b) Determine if NATO Logistics Stock Exchange (NLSE) MIPR process is appropriate for use. (See BSM On-Line Helps at https://dolh.bsm.dla.mil, Procurement, Procurement Job Aid, NLSE.)
