Project Prioritization.
a. To assist in assessing the relative importance of projects within a given funding program, all
correspondence must include a prioritized list of projects being submitted. DESC will consider each project's
content and the submitter's justification, and develop a consolidated priority list containing all projects proposed
for a given fiscal year. DESC will provide the Service/Major Command/CINC-JPO a copy of the MILCON
project priority list following the DESC IPRB and again following the DLA IPRFP with the estimated funding
cut-off indicated.
b. The following criteria should be used to develop a justification statement; these criteria are not
necessarily listed in priority order:
(1) Mission Essential--the activity cannot or will not, by a specific date, be able to perform its fueling
mission.
(2) Required to comply with environmental, safety, fire protection, or other regulations or laws--the
specific regulation or law being violated must be specified and synopsized as part of the justification.
(3) Protection of product from loss or contamination--the justification should address how the project
will protect DLA product and contamination loss.
(4) Economic payback--the project will result in an economic payback in a specified period of time.
(5) Directed by DLA/DESC or other higher authority.
(6) Efficiency of operation must be improved.
5.
Project Eligibility for DLA/DESC Funding.
For a project to be eligible for DLA/DESC sponsorship for a MILCON project, it must directly support the DLA
bulk petroleum management mission. Only fixed, permanent facilities will be eligible for DLA/DESC MILCON
project funding.
