1. This document confirms recent discussions between
representatives of the DD/S&T Staff and OSA concerning the
contracting procedures to be employed by Contract Management

approval system for Agency funds. Each proposed
contract action exceeding for
non-R&D actions) will be submitted to the DD/S&T
for approval and to the DCI, through the DD/S&T
for those actions exceeding . The proposal
package will include the items outlined in Part III
of the Project Officers Manual. OSA may include
such additional information as it considers ap-
propriate. When the requirement has received the
necessary approval signatures as indicated above,
the proposal will be referred to Contract Manage-
ment Division/OSA for contract action, without
further review. Copies of those contract actions
approved at the OSA level will be forwarded to
DD/S&T.
b. OSA will obtain all of its AQUILINE
industrial contract audit support from the
Office of Finance. From time to time Agency
appropriated funds for AQUILINE may be used
