SUBJECT
AAP Waiver Request (PR No. 230/0102Z/93)
SG1J SG1J
REMARKS
1. PURPOSE: Waiver of Process for Advanced Acquisition Planning
(AAP) to procure external assistance for assessments of selected
technical aspects of foreign developments in anomalous phenomena.
2. DISCUSSION:
a. DIA first learned of the possibility of receiving
additional Congressionally directed funds for conducting
phenomenological research and analysis in November 1991. Actual
funding levels were not known until December and the funds were not
released to PAG-TA until late January 1992. According to the
Congressional language, this FY92 funding is intended to be used as
follow-on to the existing PAG-TA contract in this area
(MDA-908-91-C-0037) and to initiate new research and other
activities.
b. Since this follow-on activity was not originally planned by
DIA, there was no way to initiate an AAP package as required by
February 1991. Consequently, due to the unexpected nature of this
Congressional action, the resulting late timing of contract package
initiation, and the need to expedite procurement to facilitate
research continuity, it is essential that a waiver for Scientific
Review Board (SRB) involvement in processing this purchase request
for existing contract modification be granted.
3. RECOMMENDATION:
DAP approve waiver of the process for purchase
request 330/01022/93 by signing endorsement on this Staff Summary
Sheet.
