Open AI Summary

This document is a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) staff summary sheet discussing a waiver request for the Senior Review Board (SRB) process for Advanced Acquisition Planning (AAP). The purpose of the waiver is to procure external phenomenological research and analysis. The background states that the DIA became aware of the possibility of receiving funds for this research in October 1990, but the funding levels were confirmed in late November and received in December of that year. Since this activity was not initially planned by the DIA, there was no way to initiate an AAP package as required by February 1990. Therefore, due to the unexpected nature of this Congressional action, the late timing of the contract package initiation, and the need to expedite procurement for time-critical research and planning actions, a waiver for SRB involvement in processing this purchase request is recommended. The staff summary sheet includes a procurement request and must be approved by the Assistant Deputy Director for Scientific and Technical Intelligence.

 SUBJECT
 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
 Congressionally directed funds for conducting phenomenological research
 and analysis in mid-October 1990.   Actual funding levels were not known
 until late November and the funds were not received in DIA until
 December  1990.
 b.   Since this activity was not originally planned by DIA, there was
 no way to initiate an AAP package as required by February 1990.
 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 time critical research
 and planning actions,  it is essential that a waiver for SRB involvement
 in processing this purchase request be granted.
 3.   RECOMMENDATION:   ED approve waiver of SRB process for purchase
 request 330/0012Z/91 signing endorsement on this Staff Summary Sheet.
