Limited Acquisition Plan Waiver: Contracting Director

Getting A Waiver

Again, in our example we are showing the Waiver screens for a Limited Acquisition Plan (LAP). The other plan types have similar waiver screens, and the APW will lead you to the proper waiver screen, depending on the plan type you must use.

The sample screen below shows you the information necessary to determine whether a waiver is possible, and a place to put information about your waiver.

Limited Acquisition Plan Waivers

Instructions

Unless designated at a higher level by the Head of Contracting Activity (HCA), the Contracting Director may waive the requirement for a written Limited Acquisition Plan for

* recurring annual acquisitions, and
