1. General a. Purpose. To set forth a contingency contracting operational concept and support plan to ensure mission essential supplies and services unavailable through normal logistics channels or Wartime Host Nation Support (WHNS) will be provided for all US forces within the Korean Theater of Operations (KTO). b. Scope. This document covers planning for contingency contracting under a joint-service concept for all purchasing, renting, leasing, or otherwise obtaining supplies, services, and construction from non-federal sources for use by all US forces in the KTO. This document is the unclassified version of the CSP, which contains general contracting guidance for the KTO. Although the Army Contracting Agency (ACA) is the executive agent for contracting in Korea, US Army Contracting Command Korea (USACCK) will serve as the lead agency and be responsible for providing contractor support during a contingency. However, it is recognized that all DoD Services and many DoD agencies will contribute procurement support to United States Forces Korea (USFK). A decentralized procurement effort by these activities within a potentially constrained, chaotic theater will best serve the warfighter. UNCLASSIFIED -3-

c. Baseline. For information on contractors and what function they perform in armistice, see USFK Regulation 700-19, Invited Contractor and Technical Representative Program and Joint Publication 4-0, Doctrine for Logistic Support for Joint Operations. For information on how contracting works on the Korean Peninsula in armistice, see USFK Regulation 715-2, Contracting for Supplies, Services, and Construction and Joint Publication 3-0, Doctrine for Joint Operations. d. Control (1) Procurement authority for contracting in Korea flows from the ACA as the Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) thru the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting (PARC). The Army PARC in conjunction with USFK Assistant Chief of Staff, Acquisition Management (FKAQ) will provide contracting policy, procedures, and contingency contract planning for the KTO. The contracting authority within the KTO for all Services is controlled by the PARC. All other contracting activities in Korea (USACE, DCMA) have a coordinating responsibility to the PARC in armistice and contingency. All contracting activities will conform to theater-wide acquisition policies promulgated by the PARC. In armistice, the PARC incumbent is also the USFK Assistant Chief of Staff, Acquisition Management (FKAQ), Advisor to Eighth US Army (EUSA) for contracting matters, and Commander, USACCK. (2) Upon contingency or at the discretion of the Commander USACCK, intheater contracting personnel will be deployed as set forth in the USACCK TACSOP. When mobilized, USACCK is organized into Detachments and subordinate Teams under the USACCK Headquarters. In armistice, other contracting activities planning to support operations in Korea will coordinate with FKAQ. Contracting activities will convey their mission and intended deployment locations within the KTO to FKAQ. All contracting personnel may be redeployed within theater at the discretion of the USACCK Commander to best support the USFK mission. Deploying personnel may or may not integrate with pre-determined USACCK Detachments and subordinate Teams at the discretion of the USACCK Commander in order to most efficiently support operations in the KTO. Armistice coordination is critical to ensure supported, effective operations. (3) The PARC will have direct access to the HCA, in order to fulfill the PARCs and HCAs statutory and regulatory responsibilities. e. Contracting Organizations and Responsibilities in Korea (1) Operates from in Camp Coiner Bldg 1130, Yongsan, Seoul during armistice until the staff transitions its command post to Camp Henry Bldg 1815, Taegu when deployed in a contingency. Armistice FKAQ functions and responsibilities remain unchanged in a contingency. FKAQ does not have contracting authority.

(c) Request mobilization exemptions from the ROK Government for assets and/or personnel utilized in contingency contracts. (d) Advise FKAQ of the ROK Governments disposition on all requests. (e) Request sources of supply/service for FKAQ-identified contingency contract requirements. 2. Assumptions a. During a contingency, the host nation is expected to nationalize all or part of its industrial base. As a result, local contractor sources will become scarce. This will potentially limit contracting operations and will create an environment of scarce resources. b. USACCK will continue to operate under regulatory guidance or procedures approved through the PARC by the HCA. c. Because of the urgent/high priority nature of most supplies and services requested, reduced lead-times and expedited delivery requirements can be expected. d. Limited authority and responsibility for purchasing will be delegated to Ordering Officers IAW the instructions set forth in this plan and regulatory guidance. e. USFK will activate a Joint Acquisition Review Board (JARB) to prioritize requirements and determine sources of procurement support. The JARB will: (1) Coordinate service acquisition activities. (2) Integrate the acquisition flow with the overall theater logistics operation. (3) Be chaired by the CJTF J-4 and comprised of representatives from ARFOR, NAVFOR, MARFOR, AFFOR, Civil Affairs, Legal, HNS, CJTF J-4 Rep, CJTF Controller Rep, CJTF Engineering Rep, and Host Nation LNOs. (4) Coordinate with J-8 section, as the J-8 section is the lead agency for

UNCLASSIFIED Author: CPT Angelique O. Brough (2005) the JARB. f. The PARC and representatives from other contracting activities in theater will serve as non-voting advisors to the JARB. 3. Concept of Acquisition Support a. The ACA is the executive agent for contingency contracting for the KTO. The Theater PARC provides joint service contingency contract planning and guidance for USFK. b. USACCK is the designated theater contracting activity for USFK procurement support. USFK requests for procurement support from other than USACCK are termed contract offloads and require FKAQ approval IAW USFK Regulation 715-2. c. USACCK will control all US contingency contracting activities in the theater. All agency and service contracting personnel, except those assigned to FKAQ, OPARC, DLA, USAMC, Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), DCMA, GSA, USACE, or as approved by the PARC, will be operationally controlled (OPCON) by USACCK. Augmentees will coordinate with FKAQ in armistice or HQ USACCK in a contingency prior to reporting to the KTO. Regardless, augmenting contracting personnel will report their arrival in the KTO to the nearest USACCK Det/Team or HQ identifying name, rank, unit, supported unit(s), contact information in the KTO and will provide a copy of their home station warrant with any restrictions. After review, the PARC will accept the home station warrant, provide KTO specific limitations/restrictions on the warrant authority, or issue a new warrant. USACCK will assign augmenting contracting personnel to an existing USACCK support location or assign them as direct support to their original units under the operational control of USACCK. d. Units or activities requesting support will submit requirements IAW procedures in USFK Regulation 715-2. e. Before accepting requirements for execution through the contracting process, Contracting Officers and Field Ordering Officers will ensure that proper funds have been certified as available by the responsible resource manager, that responsible WHNS functional area manager validates that the requirement cannot be satisfied through WHNS, and the requirements have been coordinated or approved through the appropriate functional authority or commander as follows: (1) Theater-wide requirements through the appropriate staff/organization with O-6 approval and route to Theater PARC for final contract approval. (2) Base or Area service support requirements (e.g., trash removal, portable toilet placement and service) through the appropriate Base Civil or area/post UNCLASSIFIED - 17 -

commander. (3) Minor construction requirements through the responsible Base Civil Engineer or KORO/Department of Public Works (DPW). (4) Transportation requirements through the 25th Transportation Battalion Commander, Combined Transportation Management Committee Chief, or AF Transportation Unit Commander. f. Contracting Officers will utilize local sources to the greatest extent possible. Before determining that local sources cannot provide routine supplies/services, coordinate with the local WHNS representative to determine if the host nation can identify sources for satisfying contracting requirements. Requiring Activities and Contracting Officers will coordinate the method and availability of shipment before utilizing off-peninsula sources. Requiring Activities and Contracting Officers will comply with the US-ROK Status of Forces Agreement and USFK Regulation 700-19 before obtaining services from other than local sources for performance in the KTO. 4. Planning and Preparation for Contingency Contracting Support During Armistice a. USACCK is a large, established contracting command within Korea managing an array of supply, construction, and service contracts in support of USFK. All other operational contracting personnel within the KTO are under the Operational Control of the USACCK Commander in armistice, contingency, and war. All deploying Contracting Officers and Field Ordering Officers will have their warrants and appointments letters issued/endorsed by the PARC, IAW the policy set forth below. Supporting contracting activities (e.g., USACE, DCMA, USAMC, DLA, SDDC, etc.) will coordinate their presence in theater with the PARC upon arrival and will report unit strength, location in theater, chain of contracting authority, and mission prior to initiating contracting activity. The PARC is the final authority on what constitutes operational and supporting contracting missions. The PARC does not have procurement or warrant authority for supporting contracting activities. However, such activities will conform to theater-wide acquisition guidance promulgated by the PARC on behalf of the USFK Commander. The PARC will conduct armistice planning with all operational and supporting contracting activities with a prescribed mission in Korea. b. Memorandums of Agreement completed in armistice are preferred to set forth the responsibilities between USFK, PARC, USACCK, and the deploying activity (as warrants already in place through MOAs will be accepted). However, deploying operational Contracting Officers will report to the nearest USACCK Det/Team and present their home station-issued warrant for review by the PARC. The PARC has the authority to accept, reject or change deploying operational Contracting Officer warrants. Non-operational contracting officers will report their unit strength, location in theater, chain of contracting authority and mission prior to initiating contracting activity. c. Continuation of Essential Services During Emergencies. IAW Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 3020.37, dated November 6, 1990, requiring activities will identify any contingency requirements associated with armistice procurements when

UNCLASSIFIED Author: CPT Angelique O. Brough (2005) submitting the requirements package to the contracting office. Recurring Services contracts and ordering contracts are prime candidates for inclusion of contingency contracting clauses. For any procurement supporting the KTO, contracting offices will distribute one copy of all contracts and any modifications containing a contingency clause to FKAQ. d. Identifying Additional Contingency Contract Requirements. Requiring activities must identify supply, construction, and service contract quantities required to support this CCSP that differ from their armistice requirements. Contracting Officers will first consider including contingency requirements with current funded requirements for new armistice contracts or modifying current funded contracts, to include contingency requirements before developing a new contingency contract. For any procurement supporting the KTO, contracting offices will distribute one copy of all contracts and any modifications containing a contingency clause to FKAQ. e. Wartime Host Nation Support Shortfalls. In many cases, contingency contract planning offers sources of support for WHNS shortfalls. Component activities supporting this OPLAN will identify logistic shortfalls using the FKJ4s WHNS process. FKJ4 may submit a prioritized list of WHNS shortfalls to FKAQ as candidates for contingency contract planning. f. Procurement Support for WHNS Shortfalls. FKAQ will coordinate the FKJ4 prioritized list of WHNS shortfalls with available procurement activities (USACCK, USACE Far East District, DLA, AMC-Far East) for contingency contracting support. Contingency contract support may include adding the shortfall requirement in existing contracts, developing a stand-alone contingency contracting vehicle or identifying contingency sources of supplies, construction, or services. In order to maximize the probability of contingency contract performance, the use of current, funded contracts for the inclusion of contingency requirements as options or other contract term or condition is the preferred method of contingency contract support for the KTO. FKAQ will identify to FKJ4 those WHNS shortfalls that can be supported through available procurement activities. FKJ4 will, in turn, notify the requiring activity to submit the shortfall IAW the identified procurement activitys processes for action. FKJ4 should also notify those activities whose requirements could not be supported through procurement action. Note, requiring activities must submit the requirement IAW established contracting procedures (e.g., USFK Regulation 715-2 for USACCK actions). RAs will submit contingency requirements through the appropriate channels to the contracting office. Clearly identify the requirement as a contingency contract action subject to the availability of funds. For any procurement supporting the KTO, contracting offices will distribute one copy of all contracts and any modifications containing a contingency clause to FKAQ. g. Validation of Contingency Contract Requirements. Contingency requirements will be included in USFKs Advanced Acquisition Planning (AAP) Program and will be UNCLASSIFIED - 19 -

validated annually by the RA. FKAQ will be the POC for contingency requirements in the AAP Program. Validation will occur annually to support an updated submission of existing contingency contracts to FKJ4 to support the WHNS submission to the ROK government. One purpose of validation is to submit the maximum number of contingency contracts is included in the WHNS submission for inclusion in the WHNS plan. FKJ4 will notify FKAQ at least 90 days prior to the required WHNS submission date in order to complete the validation. h. Contingency Contracts Not Included in the WHNS Plan. Those contracts not included in the WHNS Plan by the ROK Government will be identified to FKAQ by FKJ4. FKAQ will in turn notify the contracting office for coordination with the RA. FKAQ, in coordination with the contracting office, will attempt to identify alternative sources of support for the contingency requirement or notify the RA that the contingency requirement cannot be supported. i. Procurement Support for Contingency Contracts. Procurement activities filling a USFK contingency requirement will include support for the requirement in their internal contingency planning. Contingency planning must include initiation and administration of the contingency requirement by the procuring office. Procurement activities will ensure the RA is notified of any changes that affect performance of the contingency contract. For any procurement supporting the KTO, contracting offices will distribute one copy of all contracts and any modifications containing a contingency clause to FKAQ. 5. Procurement By Non-Contracting Personnel a. Government Purchase Card (GPC). The GPC will be used whenever practical within the KTO under this CSP. Units may continue to use home-station issued and funded purchase cards when deployed in the KTO only when CCOs (IAW DoD ratios) are also deployed to manage the GPC program. GPC programs within the KTO will be managed IAW USFK policy regardless of the source of issuance or funding. Units will contact the nearest USACCK Det/Team for GPC support. b. Field Ordering Officers. The USACCK DOC may appoint government Field Ordering Officers when GPC use is impractical. Units are responsible for nominating Field Ordering Officers and Paying Agents to the Det/Team Contracting Officer. Contracting Officers will train Field Ordering Officers IAW theater policy before the USACCK DOC appoints the Field Ordering Officer in writing. The Field Ordering Officers appointment would clearly set out the procurement authority and any limitations in the appointment letter. All appointed Field Ordering Officers and Paying Agents would clear their appointment with their appointing authority prior to departing the KTO. c. CCOs will advise GPC holders and Field Ordering Officers of existing ordering contracts and BPAs available for their use. d. Contracting Officers and Ordering Officers will not act as Paying Agents.
