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.

 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, in-

theater 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
PARC’s and HCA’s 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

(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

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 FKJ4’s 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 activity’s 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 USFK’s Advanced Acquisition Planning (AAP) Program and will be

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
Officer’s 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.
