NOTES – Applicable to ALL Offices

1

In determining the value of OTs for the purposes of assessing compliance with the

authority levels set forth below, OTs will be measured based on the value of each

transaction, rather than the total value of all OTs that might be executed in a prototype

project or for follow-on production. That is, a prototype project may consist of multiple

transactions to the same or different parties, each of which shall be considered

separately when considering dollar thresholds. Transaction value shall include all options

with prices established in the OT as awarded, as well as the amount associated with any

cost-sharing borne by the contractor where the basis for the OT is subsection

2371b(d)(l)(C). Regardless of value, a separate OT approval will be required for each

phase prototype or follow-on production-and separately within a phase for each

transaction.
2

Anytime United States Code, regulation, or policy states a Determination is required, the

determination is to be made in writing and placed in the Agreement file. USSOCOM

templates are to be used when available.

3

Peer reviews are formal and a signature block will be placed on a review routing sheet or

on the actual documents being reviewed. Peer reviewers must be a warranted

USSOCOM Agreements Officer and shall sign either the review routing sheet or the

actual documents upon completion of their review. If a Field Office has only one

warranted Agreements Officer, then an FCO review can be substituted in lieu of the peer

review.

4

Submit packages for SOF AT&L-KM/KX/KB review or approval through the cognizant

program LNO.

5

All SIGREDUX Agreement Actions will be reviewed by AO, HCD/FCO, SOF AT&L-KB, and

Legal. Approval authority for SIGREDUX Ratifications and Terminations is done by the

DoP.

6 The HCD/FCO will coordinate all actions over $20M with the DoP/DDoP.

7

USD(R&E) or USD(A&S) must execute a written determination as prescribed at 10 U.S.C

2371b(a)(2)(B) for any transaction for a prototype project, and any follow-on production

contract, that is expected to exceed $500M (including all options). The Office of the

Under Secretary making the determination is responsible for Congressional notification.
