PGI 208.7002

Under the DoD IMM Program, contracting responsibility for certain commodities is assigned to a single department, agency, or the General Services Administration (GSA). Consumable and nonconsumable commodity assignments are made—

(1)(i)To the departments and agencies, by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of

Defense (Logistics);

(ii) To the military departments for nonconsumable items (repair parts) under each commodity Federal Stock Class.

(2) To GSA, through agreement with GSA, by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of

Defense (Logistics);

(3) For acquisitions to be made in the contiguous United States for commodities not assigned under paragraphs (a)(1) or(2), of this section, by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Logistics).

(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.
