ATTACHMENT 2: INVESTMENT AND PROCUREMENT APPROVAL
Section 11
Note: This Attachment applies to National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) federal and
contractor organizations. In addition to the requirements set forth in the Contractor
Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 1, contractors and subcontractors are responsible
for complying with this Attachment and must incorporate it into contracts and subcontracts that
include the CRD.
1. PURPOSE.
Pursuant to the authority provided to the agency Chief Information Officer (CIO) and key
bureau CIOs under the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act
(FITARA), NNSA Delegation Order No. NA-005.01, Department of Energy (DOE)
Order (O) 200.1A, Information Technology Management, and DOE O 415.1, Change 2,
Information Technology Project Management, this Attachment assigns information
technology (IT) management responsibilities to NNSA Program Office Officials,
Functional Office Officials, and Management and Operating (M&O) site Points of
Contact, provided that the Officials confirm that all procurements are associated with an
IT investment Unique Investment Identifier (UII) and are within the defined dollar
thresholds. The Office of the Associate Administrator for Information Management and
Chief Information Officer (NA-IM) may assign IT investment decisions to Program and
Functional Offices for mission-specific IT that is not managed directly by a M&O.
2. APPLICABILITY.
a. All IT acquisitions or procurements by Program Offices, Functional Offices, Field
Offices, and M&O site elements (NNSA Elements), including National Security
Systems (NSS) and information systems.
b. All acquisitions of IT equipment by a contractor under an existing contract (e.g.,
other direct costs) where both:
(1) The IT is used by the U.S. Government directly or used by a contractor
under a contract with the U.S. Government that requires the use of the IT
but does not include IT acquired by a contractor incidental to a federal
contract; and
(2) The equipment was not previously approved under this process.
c. Operational Technology does not require IT portfolio management reporting and
procurement approvals through IT Portfolio Management (ITPfM).
3. IT APPROVAL PROCESS.
IT investment approval processes and procedures have been split into two parts:
Attachment 2 NNSA SD 200.1
AT2-2 12-14-2023
Chg. 1 (Admin. Chg.): 09-18-24
a. Guidance for investments in IT; and
b. Guidance for the authorization to procure those resources.
NNSA Elements are expected to exercise their associated IT management responsibilities
depending on the nature of the IT being procured and will need to demonstrate that they
can effectively manage an IT governance mechanism, in which case they may be granted
governance privileges over their IT. NNSA Elements that do not establish their own IT
Investment Review Board (IRB) or a similar IT governance board must forward new IT
investment proposal requests to the NNSA IT IRB at NNSA-OCIO-
FITARA@nnsa.doe.gov.
3.1. IT INVESTMENT APPROVAL DECISION PROCESS.
NNSA Elements must divide their IT approvals into two categories:
a. Business Justification. This category evaluates whether the investments align with
NNSA’s strategy, goals, and objectives, and aligns with federal law and policy. It
also evaluates the investment’s potential return on investment.
b. Technical Impact. This category evaluates whether the investment is technically
feasible. It also evaluates the investment’s potential impact on NNSA’s existing
technology infrastructure.
Section 12
For each IT Investment, NNSA Elements must assign an IT Investment Program
Manager (PM) to execute the development, deployment, integration, and management of
day-to-day operations. The NNSA Element CIO, or delegate, must oversee all stages of
the IT investment including authorizing new procurements, and any changes to the scope,
budget, and schedule, to ensure the IT investment stays within the approved cost and
implementation timeframe. Table 1AT2 below captures the applicable NNSA
Management Framework to be used for the authorization of IT Investments.
IT investments that are being acquired or procured for integration into existing ITPfM
investments must manage or transition their authorities according to the
investment/project value thresholds in Table 1AT2.

Implementation Costs ≤ $25M Element IT IRB
Proposed Major IT Investment and/or
Implementation Costs > $25M NNSA IT IRB
3.1.1. IT INVESTMENT APPROVALS.
NNSA Elements must maintain an IT IRB or similar governance process to approve new
IT investments. The NNSA Element’s IRB, or delegate, must coordinate with NA-IM for
the creation of any new IT Investment in the Federal IT Dashboard. The NNSA
Element’s IRB, or delegate, is responsible for assigning an approval authority (see Table
1AT2) for the development of any new IT Investments and the approval of all subsequent
IT. All IT investment approvals require a memorandum indicating approval to proceed to
the next phase and supporting documentation to be used by the Office of Partnership and
Acquisition Services (NA-PAS) to permit the procurement.
Where IT investment proposals exceed $25M, or are designated as Major IT
Investments,2 NNSA Elements must forward the IT investment business case analysis to
their Senior Acquisition Official and associated federal Field Office Manager (FOM) for
concurrence, and then forward the proposed investment to NA-IM for final approval prior
to initiating any contractual actions.
The NNSA Element’s IT IRB, or similar governance board, must evaluate proposed IT
investments to ensure they align with organizational objectives, are achievable, and do
not conflict with other organizational limits and is responsible for the oversight of ITPfM
investments.
The NNSA Element’s IT IRB oversight activities should include:
a. Monitoring IT investment progress by ensuring that performance measures are
met.
1 The Program Office or Site’s IRB will assign a gate authority if a Program Office or Site IRB exists. Otherwise,
the NNSA IT IRB will assign the gate authority.
2 DOE defines the criteria for a Major IT Investment as: Has a cumulative steady state or mixed lifecycle funding
of$25 million or more across the past year, current year, and budget year; Is an Office of Management and Budget-
directed portfolio IT investment; Is a Government-wide E-Government or Line of Business investment where DOE
is a Managing Partner; Is a Multi-Agency Collaboration or Inter-Agency Shared Services investment where DOE is
an Agency Lead; or Requires special management attention because of its importance to the mission or function of
the Agency.

b. Ensuring the budget is fully developed.
c. Ensuring the IT Investment and any sub-tier investments are aligned with the
Technology Business Management Taxonomy.
d. Reporting all proceedings to NA-IM at NNSA-OCIO-FITARA@nnsa.doe.gov.
New IT purchases that were not captured in the bill of materials (BOM) supporting
annual budget planning may be approved by the NNSA Element’s authority within their
assigned limits, which allows the ITPfM Investment PMs to approve administrative and
minor changes without additional approvals.
The IT Investment PM must evaluate purchases for organizational compliance and
impact, including:
a. Ensuring correct alignment with their ITPfM Investment and budget.
b. Evaluating for possible Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence risk.
c. Suitability within the IT Operations environment/IT Service Management.
d. Cybersecurity architecture and monitoring requirements.
e. Records Management and Privacy.
f. Compliance with other federal laws.
g. Compatibility with enterprise license agreements.
3.2. IT PROCUREMENT PROCESS.
Procurement approval, required by FITARA as codified in 40 U.S.C. § 11319 and
implemented by NA-PAS, is principally performed by NA-IM as part of the annual
budget approval process by evaluating an investment’s supporting documentation (e.g.,
NA-IM FITARA request form, Summary, Statement of Work, Total Cost Estimate,
Request of Quotation, FOM approval), proposed BOM, and details of anticipated
modernization and enhancements.

For procurements not previously approved through the budget submission process, where
supporting documentation stated above exceeds the authorization assignments of the
NNSA Element’s PM and/or appointed Approval Authority, and for procurements for a
ITPfM Major Investment, requests must be sent to NA-IM for approval at NNSA-OCIO-
FITARA@nnsa.doe.gov. Sufficient supporting documentation should be provided to
help facilitate timely approval. Otherwise, a notice of procurement must be sent to the
NNSA IT IRB at NNSA-OCIO-FITARA@nnsa.doe.gov.
4. PROVISIONS.
a. The installation of any hardware or software on DOE networks must not introduce
additional cybersecurity risks and will be approved by the appropriate
Authorizing Official before integration to the IT network.
b. This Assignment must not be used to purchase IT components integral or
ancillary to any project, the entirety of which has not already been approved
through existing approval processes (e.g., NNSA or Element IT IRB).
c. All IT procured must be associated with an IT investment UII. IT reporting must
include this number to indicate the proper procurement to the CD Gate Approval
Authority.
5. LIMITATIONS.
a. In exercising the authority delegated in this Assignment, a delegate is governed
by the rules and regulations of the policies and procedures prescribed by the
Secretary of Energy or their delegate(s) and the NNSA Administrator or their
delegate(s).
b. Nothing in the Assignment precludes NA-IM from exercising the authority
delegated by the Administrator.

(ITPFM) BUDGET PROCESS
Section 14
Note: This Attachment applies to National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) federal and
contractor organizations. In addition to the requirements set forth in the Contractor
Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 1, contractors and subcontractors are responsible
for complying with this Attachment and must incorporate it into contracts and subcontracts that
include the CRD.
1. INTRODUCTION.
The purpose of this Attachment is to describe NNSA’s Information Technology (IT)
investment reporting process to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). OMB
Circular A-11, Preparation, Submission and Execution of the Budget, requires IT
investments to be reported annually to OMB and made public via the Federal IT
Dashboard. Figure 1, IT Portfolio Management (ITPfM) Budget Process, illustrates the
NNSA Office of the Associate Administrator for Information Management and Chief
Information Officer (NA-IM) process in complying with the OMB reporting requirement.
Figure 1: ITPfM Budget Process
2. PROCESS.
a. Requests for IT resources that require a Unique Investment Identifier (UII) that
identifies where the funding will be reported in the NNSA IT Portfolio.
b. IT resources currently associated with reported investments in the NNSA IT
Portfolio will already have a UII to complete the procurement request.
(1) The NNSA ITPfM Team will work with the responsible Point(s) of
Contact (POC) to ensure that the new funding amounts are updated in the
past year, current year, and budget year (BY) investment ledger tables in
the ITPfM tool.

(2) If the associated investment is considered a Major or Standard Investment,
the NNSA ITPfM Team will also include updates regarding new projects,
risks, metrics, and artifacts, as appropriate.
(3) IT resource requests originating from Management and Operating (M&O)
sites will follow the M&O approval process. M&O Chief Information
Officers’ (CIO) indirect spending should already have associated UIIs and
be reported in the ITPfM tool. IT spending outside of the M&O CIO’s
budget will need to be examined to determine whether it is being reported
in other investments. M&O CIOs will work with the NNSA ITPfM Team
and other NNSA Program Offices to update all investments at the M&O
site. Exceptions will be processed according to the following steps.
c. IT resources for programs not in compliance with ITPfM reporting requirements
will not have a UII to complete the procurement request. Note that reporting
requirements only pertain to IT and not operational technology.
(1) The NNSA ITPfM Team will work with the responsible POC(s) to initiate
an IT investment that creates a UII.
(2) The NNSA ITPfM Team will provide ITPfM training to the new POC(s).
(3) The responsible POC(s) will then complete the investment form prior to
the next reporting deadline, as established by the OMB.
(a) Draft – late August
(b) Pre-decisional – September/October
(c) President’s Budget/Passback (Final) – January/February
Section 15
(4) Incomplete IT investment paperwork cannot be entered into the ITPfM
reporting process, and therefore will be excluded from the NNSA IT
Investment Portfolio.
d. All completed investments will be added to the NNSA IT Investment Portfolio,
which the NNSA ITPfM Team uses to perform updates, data calls, IT Dashboard
assessments, and account for in the annual OMB submission.
e. The NNSA ITPfM team provides the IT Portfolio to the NNSA Office of
Management and Budget (NA-MB), from which NA-MB will verify the accuracy
of the IT Portfolio to the IT portion of the approved budget request.
f. The NNSA ITPfM team collects BY IT Budget Requests and provides a high-
level IT Portfolio report to the NNSA CIO for approval. Upon approval, the IT
Portfolio is submitted to the Department of Energy (DOE) CIO for final review.
