REMARKS
1. PURPOSE: Waiver of Senior Review Board (SRB) Process for Advanced Acquisition
Planning (AAP) to procure external phenomenological research and analysis.
2. BACKGROUND:
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
ODT until late January 1992. According to the Congressional language, this FY 1992
funding is intended to be used as follow-on to the existing ODT 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 SRB involvement in processing this
purchase request for existing contract modification be granted. A separate procurement
package for new research (PR# 330/026Z/92) is also being processed.
3. RECOMMENDATION: ED approve waiver of SRB process for purchase request 330/025Z/92
by signing endorsement on this Staff Summary Sheet.
