(a) USSOCOM Directorate of Procurement policy is to transfer all contract administrative responsibility to the servicing DCMA on all contracts over $350,000 not purchased in accordance with FAR Part 12 , except where required by statute or excluded from DCMA responsibility.

The decision should be based on providing the best service to the customer and the capabilities of the contracting office. Both determinations should be made in writing and maintained in the contract file.
