APS

An Acquisition Planning Sheet is a document used by contracting offices to capture essential information about a planned procurement action. The APS typically includes requirement description, estimated value, contract type, competition strategy, small business considerations, and target milestone dates.

APS documents help program offices and contracting officers coordinate early in the acquisition process and ensure all necessary approvals and reviews are planned. They serve as input to formal Acquisition Plans required for larger procurements and help agencies track their procurement pipeline and workload.
