C. 2054E3 FILEz B-19640 DATE: June 26, 1980 MATTER OF: bligation of Funds Under Military Inter- departmental Procurement Requests DIGEST: I ,4~6~O&~y/ -1 o1 C 1. It remains the opinion of this Office that a Military Interdepartmental Procurement Request, (MIPRs) is placed pursuant to section 601 of the Economy Act of 1932, as amended, 31 U.S.C 5 686. Consequently, to the extent the Corps of Engineers (Corps) is otherwise authorized to recover supervision and administrative expenses incurred in performing MIPR for Air Force, the Corps should be reimbursed from appropriations current when the costs were incurred or when the Corps entered into a contract with a third party to execute the MIPR. See 31 U.S.C. 5 686-1, 34 Comp. Gen. 418 (1955). 2. Even if Military Interdepartmental Procurement Request (MIPR) is deemed authorized by 10 U.S.C. §§ 2308 and 2309 (1976), rather than section 601 of the Economy Act of 1932, as amended, 31 U.S.C. § 686, the allotment of funds by Air Force to Corps of Engineers (Corps) for.use in executing MIPR does not constitute an.obligation until the Corps either enters into contract with a third party to execute the MIPR or incurs costs in administering the contract. See DAR 5-1108.2,.3. 3. In view of regulation providing that a pro- curing department should bear, without re- imbursement therefor, the administrative costs incident to its procurement of supplies for another Department, the Air Force (AF) and the Corps of Engineers should consider whether any reimbursement is due the Corps for administrative and supervision expenses incurred in performing Military Interdepart- mental Procurement Request placed by AF. See DAR 5-1113. 0 _H1 _
