LAA
Limited Acquisition Authority
Definition
Limited Acquisition Authority is a restricted delegation of contracting authority for specific purposes, dollar thresholds, or contract types. LAA enables designated personnel to execute certain procurement actions within defined boundaries.
Understanding LAA limitations helps contractors verify contracting authority for proposed actions. LAA restrictions affect what actions can be executed without higher-level approval. Proper verification of authority prevents unauthorized commitment issues.
