(a) Upon receipt, MIPRs and other requests for non-DLA managed items should be routed directly to individuals responsible for procurement, as determined appropriate locally, for processing. Simultaneously, such requests will be routed for review by staff elements with corollary interest (operational, functional or policy-type offices having oversight responsibility for technical/quality issues), as necessary. The contracting officer or designated acceptance official shall request that reviewing elements furnish comments within 10 days. This must be done within 20 days of receipt of the MIPR, in order to meet the 30 day acceptance time-frame. The acceptance official will act as the team leader to obtain any necessary advice and counsel from local experts in order to accomplish the acquisition mission successfully.
(90) Each procurement, whether covering a Military Service-managed or DLA-managed item, will take its priority position based on the factors surrounding the particular procurement and not on the type of item or origin of the purchase request.
