Informational Guidance

IGCC-301(b)(1)
OPLAN Review

April 2010

The following are areas should be addressed in OPLANs tasking contracting assets. It is not an all inclusive list. This list may be tailored, as required, to meet unit-specific needs.

(a) For OPLANs covering military contingency operations (Wartime/MOOTW), review OPLANs for:

(i) An Appendix W or associated Contract Support Integration Plan (CSIP) addressing the areas identified in Joint Publication (JP) 4-10, “Operational Contracting Support,” (JP 4-10) Appendix E, paragraph 5;

(ii) Evidence Contractor Management Planning considerations found in JP 4-10, Appendix F, paragraph 2 were taken into account during the planning process through the use of an associated Contractor Management Plan (CMP) or related sections of the OPLAN; and

(iii) Host Nation Support Agreements. This includes:

(A) Participation in the identification of the need for Host Nation Agreements, the development of the terms of the Host Nation Support Agreements, and the periodic review of these Agreements, and

(B) Ensuring copies of applicable Host Nation Support Agreements, Host Country Assistance-In-Kind Agreements, Acquisition Cross-Service Agreements (ACSAs), letters of agreement, and other contract-related materials are provided to, and understood by, affected operational contracting offices.

(iv) Appropriate contingency taskings; Contracting manpower required for the expected base configuration, population, geographic location, joint usage arrangements, and proximity of local purchase resources to support the unit.

(vi) Current MISCAP and AEF rotation schedule;

(vii) Allocation of contracting-related UTC packages within the OPLAN and coordination of timing for each package within the Time-Phased Force Deployment Database (TPFDD). Plans shall call for early arrival of contracting personnel to provide contracting support for bed down of initial forces arriving at the deployment site;

(viii) Adequacy of contracting resources tasked from all sources to meet the total contingency contracting requirements for all units at the deployment base;

(ix) Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) availability to support OPLAN taskings or to backfill deployed active duty CCOs;

(x) Equipment and personnel support requirements for the CCO portion of each OPLAN (Fax machine, laptop computers, printer, cellular telephone, other communication, transportation, and office equipment);

(xi) Procedures for each functional area to identify personnel at the deployment site who can validate/approve requirements, accept deliveries, and verify quality of goods purchased;

(xii) Coordination of contracting and finance functions to ensure paying agents are designated to support the contracting activity;

(xiii) Uniform and civilian clothing requirements for each deployment location and initiation of uniform allowance documents for enlisted personnel, if applicable. Authorization for use of civilian clothing shall be specified on TDY orders and in compliance with use according to appropriate personnel and finance regulations;

(xiv) Special personnel requirements for location-specific limitations to gender, rank, or other cultural factors which affect contracting within the deployment area;

(xv) Contracting interface with the supply system at the deployment site to avoid duplication of effort, unnecessary administrative steps, and unnecessary local purchase of supply system items;

(xvii) Potential adverse impact on unit mission support due to FAR or statutory contracting restrictions and any deviations that may be necessary to meet unique unit mission requirements at the deployment site;

(xviii) Contracting interface with 24-hour emergency operations contact points and purchasing sources in the deployment area;

(xix) Impact on contracting effectiveness during chemical, biological, or nuclear operations, if applicable;

(xx) Possible additional duty taskings at various stages of the deployment that may interfere with performing the contracting duties. Additional duties that may interfere with contracting duties include but are not limited to inspecting and receiving supplies/services, funds disbursing agent duties, billeting officer duties, and writing statements of work (SOW)/performance work statements (PWS), etc.;

(xxi) Security and protection needed during the deployment and any requirement for CCOs to carry weapons;

(xxii) Plan taskings that might result in possible CCO conflicts of interest situations (e.g., funds disbursement or acceptance of goods);

(xxiii) Reporting and documentation requirements for all stages of the deployment and adequate administrative and documentation support for the operation;

(xxiv) Taskings for contract closeout, termination, claim processing, and disposition of purchased USAF assets;

(xxv) Procedures for preserving lessons learned and disseminating the information collected from after-action reports to parent Air Force Component Commander.

(xxvi) (For MAJCOM SCO or FAM only) evaluate supplemental force package requirements required to support the deployed central contracting function and assist with the bed down of arriving units in the theater of operations. Place these packages in the TPFDD early enough to meet mission bed down requirements.
