   SUBJECT:       RACE CAR PROGRAM - CWO 55250







                  Due   ri  o  equirements peculiar to the subject program, the procurement
                  of s  er vices and mate rials must be handled in a manner contrary to nor-
                  mal procedure in order to keep ’’down time” to an absolute minimum on
                  this project. There will be times during a running of a test when a piece
                  of equipment on the car or test units will fail and must be replaced as
                  soon as possible. In order to assist in keeping the project going as effi­
                  ciently as possible, it was decided that a blanket order system with a
                  dollar limitation be set up with only certain personnel assigned to the
                  project permitted to procure any service or material against the orders.


                  This is a duplication of the same type requirement you and I discussed by
                  phone on June 27, 1969 and confirmed by ICC of the same date. It was
                  agreed this could be accomplished with the understanding by all concerned
                  that the Purchasing Department would have complete control of the procure­
                  ment against the blanket orders issued for this project only. It was further
                  agreed that ground rules for handling the project would be set up between
                  Mr. D. H. Carroll and the undersigned. This has been accomplished and
                  they are as follows:

                           Issue BOM to the Planning Department indicating              type of s ervice
                           or procurement to be performed, desired source               and total  dolla  -J
                           limitation. Also show approved personnel respon  ft           ible fo I-  C L  rocure-
                           ment.

                       2.  Planning Department will issue requisitions to the Purchasing Department.

                       3.  Purchasing Department will place purchase order with the selected
                           source.

                           Project personnel will info rm the Purchasing Department when a
                            rocurement or service is to be obtained against the blanket order.

                       5.  Upon completion of a service or procurement, the billing will               X
                           presented to the Purchasing Department, who will keep tab of  the
                           total dollars expended against the order.
