Planning Forward with GSA in Mind

Approval: Contracting Officer


Tip!

The Approval screen below allows you to designate who has the Approval Authority for your acquisition plan.

You may add one or more Approval Authorities, as well as Additional Approvers. Just select the "Add an Approver" or "Add an additional Approver" links. Selecting one will take you to the next screens where you'll see exactly how it works.

These APW users will be notified to review and approve your plan when you Submit or Resubmit it for approval.

Plan Status

  • When changing the status to 'Submitted for Concurrence and Coordination / Approval', the following actions will occur as your plan moves foward in the planning process:

    1. E-mails will be sent to your plan Coordinators and Concurrors. They will be notified of their role on the plan and asked to log into the system to review the plan.
    2. E-mails will be sent to you as each participant logs in and either leaves comments or mark their concurrence/coordination on the plan.
    3. When all of your Coordinators and Concurrors have concurred on the plan, the plan will be automatically submitted for approval.
    4. E-mail notifications will now be sent to your Approvers. They will be asked to log in and mark the plan as approved.
    5. You will be notified via E-mail when the plan has been approved.
