The document describes the purpose and overview of the Procurement Planning Process, which is designed to aid in planning the necessary steps for the implementation of an effective procurement. The Procurement Planning Milestones (PPM) document is an evolving document with milestone dates being provided based on discussions and negotiations between the assigned GTA Contracting Officer and the designated agency RFP developers. The document explains that the PPM is used to assign primary and secondary process owners for each milestone in the procurement development effort. It also mentions that the PPM comments section is used by the assigned Contracting Officer to indicate pertinent comments or responses to clarify areas of concern and document the rationale for any slippage of the targeted dates. Revisions and target date adjustments are confirmed via the development of a revised PPM that shows the signatures of agency developers. The document highlights the benefits of using the GTA Procurement Planning Milestones (PPM) tool. It states that the tool equips Procurement with a tangible and effective resource for conducting and managing the entire procurement process as a simplified communication and documentation tool. It also mentions that the tool increases Procurement's value to the organization by improving communication and productivity with end-users and customers.
