SOFARS PART 5607
ACQUISITION PLANNING

 

SUBPART 5607.1 - ACQUISITION PLANS

5607.104 General Procedures.
(Updated January 2014)
(a) Acquisition planning is paramount and should begin as soon as the requirement is identified, preferably well in advance of the fiscal year in which contract award or order placement is necessary. Acquisition planning or strategies, or a combination of the two may be required. The following are examples of planning and strategy documentation. Templates can be found in the DCG. Briefings and plans shall be developed based on the complexity and dollar value of the acquisition.

(d) For all actions exceeding $8M, unless the contract or order is entirely reserved or set-a-side for Small Business under FAR 19, contracting officers shall coordinate their acquisition plans/strategy with their field office Small Business Representatives. If the primary contracting officer is also the Small Business Representative then the contracting officer shall coordinate their acquisition plans/strategy with the command’s Director of Small Business Programs. For Headquarters buying divisions, coordinate acquisition plans/strategy that meet the above criteria with the command’s Director of Small Business Programs.
(f) See the DCG for guidance on “Alpha” Acquisition Contracting.

SUBPART 5607.5 - Inherently Governmental Functions

5607.503 Policies.
(Revised April 2008)
(e)   Contracting Officers shall insure that each contracting requirement for services is accompanied by a written determination from the requiring activity that none of the functions contained in the requirement are inherently governmental as defined in FAR 7.503. A formal Determination and Finding (D&F) is required. Disagreements over the determination shall be resolved by the Contracting Officer and reviewed at one level above the Contracting Officer. Should the Contracting Officer and Chief of the Contracting Office fail to agree on the conclusion, forward the package to SORDAC-KM for a final determination.
(Moved January 2014 from 5637.590-90(a))
(g) In accordance with DPAP memo Reporting Inherently Government Functions Indicators to the Federal Procurement Data System dated 25 Feb 2013, contracting officers shall ensure that requiring organizations provide the function indicator with their requirements packages so it may be appropriately reported on new awards dated March 1, 2013 forward and modifications to those awards. The function indicators are Closely Associated Functions, Critical Functions, and Other Functions. Definitions for each function indicator, applicability, and the format for reporting to FPDS-NG can be found within the DPAP memo stated above.
