Silver Delegation

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFMCNS) — Dr. Steve Butler pauses with Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition Sue Payton and Gen. Bruce Carlson, commander of Air Force Materiel Command, after Ms. Payton presented Dr. Butler with a Probationary Silver Delegation for the Acquisition of Services certificate. The presentation, which took place here Oct. 21, follows an August agreement between AFMC and the Air Force Program Executive Office for Combat and Mission Support, commonly called PEO Services. The agreement established Dr. Butler, AFMC’s Executive Director, as the command’s Services Advocate and delegated management and oversight authority of services contracts between $100 million and $500 million to AFMC. The command stood up a multi-functional services team to support Dr. Butler. The team is collaborating with PEO Services to streamline the critical processes necessary to execute the authority. Team members will visit AFMC’s air logistics centers in November to deploy initial procedures. The team will host a services workshop in December for the requirements and acquisition community.
