(S-90) Procurement of audit readiness or audit sustainment services.

DCSO is responsible for acquiring audit readiness and/or audit sustainment services for DLA organizations. No other procuring organization shall award a contract or place an order on an existing contract for audit readiness and/or audit sustainment services for a DLA organization without the written approval of the DCSO Director. In addition, no DLA requirements owner shall submit a requirement for audit readiness and/or audit sustainment services for a DLA organization to a non-DLA contracting organization (e.g., an order under the Economy Act, as provided under FAR 17.502-2) without the written approval of the DCSO Director.

(S-91) DCSO is the single DLA procuring organization with authority to procure office document devices and associated maintenance support (see 39.9001 (b)).

(S-92) DCSO is the primary procuring organization responsible for acquiring information technology (IT) services, supplies, equipment, training, and subscriptions for DLA (see 39.9001 (c)).

(S-93) Procurement of training.

(1) Pursuant to Director, DLA Human Resources memorandum entitled, “Centralizing Administration of Government Purchase Cards for Training Payment,” dated June 30, 2014, DLA organizations shall submit all training requirements, regardless of the training source or funding source, to DLA Human Resources Services, DLA Training (DHRS-DT) for review, management, administration, and sourcing. If DHRS-DT determines the training requirement is valid, DHRS-DT will then determine the best method to source that training (e.g., LMS Online course, Resident Course with DLA trainers, DAU Course, GPC, new contract, etc.).

(2) DCSO Columbus is the DLA Center of Excellence for DLA Enterprise Training Services. If DHRS-DT determines a new contract is the best method to satisfy the training requirement, DHRS-DT will work with the requiring activity to prepare a requirements package and submit the request for contract support to DCSO Columbus in coordination with the requiring activity, unless 8.003(S-93)(3) applies.

(3) DLA organizations shall not submit requirements for training services to any procuring organization other than DCSO unless DHRS-DT determines in writing that a non-DCSO procuring organization should provide the contracting support and the DCSO Director approves the determination in writing.
