10th Contracting Division

The 10th Contracting Division supports the Air Force Academy mission through securing quality services and products, including cadet support and infrastructure support, through non-government vendors.

The Air Force Academy believes that an open, competitive atmosphere is the most beneficial to both the government and the vendor. Contracting makes purchases based on the product or service performance and quality, advantageous prices and delivery or performance capability.

Wide Area Work Flow

Wide Area WorkFlow receipt and acceptance provides a baseline technology for government vendors and authorized Department of Defense personnel to generate, capture and process receipt and payment-related documentation via Web-based applications.

Vendors can submit invoices and receiving reports electronically using electronic commerce methods, Web interactive forms and straight push from vendor-automated FTP systems. Vendors can correct data on rejected invoices and submit only the individual data elements that need correction instead of resubmitting the entire document.

Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

The Air Force Academy is an equal employment and affirmative action employer and promotes the use of minority- and woman-owned businesses. Contracting expects contractors and vendors to comply with any related federal, state and local laws.

Vendor Performance

Using proactive professional purchasing, contracting officials evaluate all vendors in several areas, including actual performance versus promised delivery dates or performance periods, ability to meet urgent requirements, number of rejects due to poor quality and adherence to agreed-upon prices. This evaluation strongly influences subsequent buying decisions.

Gifts and Entertainment

Government officials and employees must not accept or agree to accept any gratuity for themselves, members of their families or others, either directly or indirectly, from any source that is engaged in or seeking business or financial relations of any sort with any Department of Defense office.

Gratuities include money, gifts, favors, entertainment, hospitality, transportation, loads or any other tangible item. Gratuities also include intangible benefits such as discounts, passes and promotional vendor training given or extended to or on behalf of government personnel, their families or household for which fair market value is not paid by the recipient or the government.
