a. review approved procurement requests that concern contractual
policy or procedures;
b. review any approved procurement request, proposed contract,
or amendment in the scope of a contract, that exceeds $150, 000
in valuation; and,
c. review overrun funding amendments when individual or collective
overruns exceed $22, 500 and 15 percent of the original cost.
3. II also provides that: "Prior review of proposed individual contracts
or classes of contracts may be waived by the Director of Logistics or his designee.
Since the inception of the Board it has been the policy of the Director of Logistics to
waive Board review of procurement actions involving production, services, and external
analysis. This waiver of specified classes of procurement shall continue in effect
until modified by the Director of Logistics.
4. For the purposes of this Note a production procurement may be defined as
one involving standard commercial items, modified commercial items, or items
where reasonably definite specifications are present. A services procurement may be
defined as one providing for engineering services, repair, maintenance, overhaul, or
similar work where it is not initially possible to reasonably estimate the extent or
duration of the labor hours, services, or material involved. External analysis is
the analysis of raw technical or intelligence data supplied to a contractor by the Agency
for the production of a finished report.
5. Prototype or first follow-on production of units previously developed (also
called pilot production) where adequate specifications or manufacturing drawings are

unavailable cannot be considered within the waiver noted above; and thus will recell,
Board review pursuant to paragraph 2 above.

6. Notwithstanding the waiver of certain actions noted in paragraph 3 above,
Contracting Officers will inform the Director of Logistics of any proposed procurement
action involving production, services, or external analysis when in the judgment of the
Contracting Officer such action poses a question of procurement policy or involves a
controversial matter of such significance that prior Board review would serve the
best interests of the Agency.
7. Questions concerning the submission of actions to the Board may be sub-
mitted to the Chief, Procurement Management Staff for guidance.
