When it is determined that a customer’s need date may require a shorter delivery period than initially projected, the Supply Planner for DLA Direct items or the CAS for Customer Direct items will follow the policies and processes for expediting delivery in DIRECTOR, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT (J-7) CROSS-PROCESS POLICY MEMORANDUM 05-002, Expedite Policy and Processes. As part of the investigation and resolution process, the Supply Planner for DLA Direct items or the CAS for Customer Direct items, may ask the Post-Award Acquisition Specialist (AS) to attempt to expedite delivery. (See mandatory guidance in DLAD PGI at 11.402(a)(90).) Any contractually-binding decisions made by the Post-Award AS are subject to contracting officer approval if the Post-Award AS has no warrant (see 11.401-90(a)(2)).
