A Delegation of Procurement Authority (DPA) from the COMMITS NexGen Contracting Officer is required when customers plan to conduct and/or administer the task order acquisition process through their own contracting office. Agencies may request a DPA by completing and submitting a Delegation of Procurement Authority form. The request for DPA may be sent to the attention of the COMMITS NexGen Contracting Officer by fax or letter. Unless this authority is denied, the customer agency will appoint the source selection official for task orders competed under the COMMITS NexGen in accordance with their own regulations and procedures. While the customer is in the best position to determine the task order solution, a DPA will only be granted to a warranted contracting officer.
