RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN replaces reference (a), guidance for the Information
Technology Procurement Request (ITPR) and approval process.
2. Information Technology Acquisition Approval Process (ITAAP) ensures
effective and efficient expenditure of funding to acquire Information
Technology (IT) capabilities, prevent duplicate investments, provide
visibility on all Navy IT related expenditures, and ultimately achieve
strategic sourcing for IT procurement. Procurement actions for IT may not be
initiated without an ITPR approval. Command Contracting Officers and
Purchasing Agents including those operating at Fleet Logistic Centers will
not obligate government funds without an approved ITPR control number
included with the procurement documents.
3. Once an ITPR has been submitted, each reviewer in the workflow will have
a total of ten business days to take action on the ITPR. The reviewer will
receive notification to act on the request or it will automatically cancel at
the end of the 10th business day. Customer Service Representatives (CSRs)
must ensure minimum delays in the workflow process including the setting of
proxy reviewers if the assigned reviewer is not available.
4. All Programs of Record (POR), including Defense Business System requests
are required to utilize the systems subject matter expert exemption Speed
Pass. In addition all PORs and Non PORs are encouraged to submit annual
Spend Plan requests; an approved spend plan eliminates submitting subsequent
requests during the fiscal year.
5. The following IT procurement guidance for FY-16 applies to all IT assets
including hardware, software, maintenance, contract support,
telecommunication services, and back office IT that supports tactical
programs reported in the Program Budget Information System-IT (PBIS-IT) and
resourced with the Navy appropriated funds. ITPRs shall be properly scoped
for the required need, and shall not be segmented to avoid the IT dollar
thresholds or IT oversight and governance.
a. IT assets $25,000 or less, including assets purchased via the
Government Credit Card program are exempt from this process and do not
require the submission of an ITPR. All exempt requests will be reported
quarterly. All Echelon II commands will be required to submit an
organization $25,000 or less quarterly report to Deputy Department of the
Navy Chief Information Officer Navy (DDCIO (N)). Restrictions to the $25,000
threshold can be found in paragraph 6. For ITPRs less than $500,000 the
Echelon II Command Information Officer (Echelon II CIO) retains discretion to
set a local approval threshold amount for assigned Echelon III and below
commands. ITPRs $500,000 or greater will route to the DDCIO (N) for
approval. ITPRs submitted for $20 million or greater require Chief of Naval
Operations (N80) staff review. N80 will in coordination with DDCIO (N)
recommend final approval or disapproval. If further review is required, N80
will present the request to the Resources Requirement Review Board (R3B) for
a final procurement decision.
b. Procurement requests must be submitted electronically via Navy
