WHO.
Sources.
Assess possible sources’
impacts on cost,
performance, schedule
risks and resulting risk
management approach.


Best sources may not always
propose. Assess methods to
encourage contractor interest
in proposing.
Tailor approach to likely
sources. Quality sources with
experience & good past
performance require less
oversight.
HOW.
Risk Management.
Determine and analyze risk
areas. Describe strategy to
track and mitigate key risk
drivers.




Tailor risk management to
likely sources.
Past performance is a key risk
reduction measure
IPTs and partnering reduce
risk by raising issues early for
team resolution
Consider using AMC Function
Support Templates (AMC
Pam 70-25) as aids.

Acquisition Program Baseline
This document comprises the approved baseline for the
program.
Our intent is that the program be managed within the performance, schedule, and
financial constraints identified here. We agree to support the required funding in the
Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS).
This baseline contains the key performance, schedule, and cost parameters that are the
basis for satisfying the identified mission need. It is a summary document, and does not
include detailed program requirements or content. As long as the program is being
managed within the framework established by this baseline, in-progress reviews will not
be required.
