If an Acquisition Program association is set to Inactive, can it be used for new Construction In Progress (CIP) Projects?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with DRMO permission
• D. Only if CIP is less than threshold

Answer: (B)

When an Acquisition Program association is set to Inactive, it is not eligible for new actions. Construction In Progress projects must be linked to an active program to ensure proper funding control and accountability within DPAS. Because the association is inactive, you cannot start a new CIP under it. To proceed, you would need to reactivate the program association or use an active program for the CIP. There are no overriding permissions or thresholds that let you bypass the inactive status for initiating new CIP actions.
