The Pre-Award AS should coordinate with the Product Specialist and ensure that Customer Direct items are assigned the appropriate Acquisition Advice Code (AAC “H”). Any contractually-binding decisions made by the Pre-Award AS are subject to contracting officer approval if the Pre-Award AS has no warrant (see 11.401-90(a)(2)). The inclusion of Manager Review Codes (MRCs) shall be minimized to only those that are required (unless specifically approved by the head of the applicable Business Unit/Division/Application Group) to ensure the delivery order flows uninterrupted through the automated system. The Supply Planner shall ensure that item notes are included for all NSNs assigned to a LTC having contract delivery time frames that exceed TDD standards or for those contracts that are exempted from Customer Direct TDD requirements
