5307.105 Contents of Written Acquisition Plans
(1) For actions that do not fall within one of the categories listed within DFARS 207.103 or actions with dollar thresholds less than a need for a written Acquisition Plan (e.g. <$50M total program or <$25M in a FY for products & services), written AP documentation is still recommended. This documentation may include Market Research Acquisition Approach document (MRAA), Briefing Charts, Memorandum for Record, or use of the Streamlined Acquisition Strategy Summary as directed by the applicable approval authority.
(2) Actions above $10M but below the thresholds prescribed at DFARS 207.103, written AP documentation is recommended. Acquisition Teams should consider the depth, complexity, and requirements needs of their program to determine use of the AP template, ASP brief, or the Streamlined Market Acquisition Approach Document (SMRAA) template.
(3) Actions for production or services when the total cost of all contracts for the acquisition program is equal to or greater than $50M for all years or $25M or more for any fiscal year, an Acquisition Strategy Panel (ASP) is recommended. (Note: recommend documentation that identifies the ASP as the written AP)
(4) The acquisition strategy approval authority may utilize the ASP briefing charts and associated note pages, minutes, and change charts to satisfy a required written AP. Recommend documentation identifies the ASP as the written AP.
