# §208.7002. Assignment authority.

- (a) Under the DoD Coordinated Acquisition Program, contracting responsibility for certain commodities is assigned to a single department, agency, or the General Services Administration (GSA). Commodity assignments are made—
  - (1) To the departments and agencies, by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Logistics);
  - (2) To GSA, through agreement with GSA, by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Logistics);
  - (3) Outside the contiguous United States, by the Unified Commanders; and
  - (4) For acquisitions to be made in the contiguous United States for commodities not assigned under paragraphs [(a)(1)](#a-1), [(2)](#a-2), or [(3)](#a-3) of this section, by agreement of agency heads ([10 U.S.C. 3065](/usc/10/3065.md)).
    - (i) Agreement may be on either a one-time or a continuing basis. The submission of a military interdepartmental purchase request (MIPR) by a requiring activity and its acceptance by the contracting activity of another department, even though based on an oral communication, constitutes a one-time agreement.
    - (ii) **Consider repetitive delegated acquisition responsibilities for coordinated acquisition assignment.** If not considered suitable for coordinated acquisition assignment, formalize continuing agreements and distribute them to all activities concerned.
- (b) Under the Integrated Materiel Management Program, assignments are made by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Logistics)—
  - (1) To the departments and agencies; and
  - (2) **To GSA, through agreement with GSA.**
