# 507.105 Contents of written acquisition plans.

(a) The APM contains the content prescribed in FAR 7.105 and shall be used in the preparation of written acquisition plans. Where a particular element described in FAR 7.105 does not apply, the acquisition plan should read “not applicable.” The dollar value, complexity (e.g., commercial versus non-commercial item) and method of acquisition (e.g., full and open competition versus task/delivery order) of the supplies and services to be acquired will affect the scope and breadth of the acquisition plan.

(b) FAR 7.106 (major systems) and FAR 7.107 (consolidation, bundling, or substantial bundling) shall be addressed in the acquisition plan, if applicable.

(c) For leasehold interests in real property, a modified version of the contents of acquisition plans for leases is provided in the APM.

(d) The requirement for a written acquisition plan may be waived by the appropriate level of an approving official listed in 507.105(c). When the requirement for a written acquisition plan is waived, an oral acquisition plan is still required. The planner must obtain approval for the oral acquisition plan from the approving official.

(e) Software. If procuring software, specify the result of any software requirement alternatives analysis that has been completed in accordance with 511.002(d).
