With respect to the Recquisitioning Process, the following individuals are responsible for the listed activities:

 

Requisitioner: The requisitioner creates the requisition document, enters all pertinent data elements, and shares the requisition document with the bona fide need certifier.

 

Bona Fide Need Certifier: The bona fide need certifier certifies that a product or service meets a bona-fide need, is in the public interest, and is applicable to the appropriation to be utilized. The requisitioner is organizationally detached from the funds certifying official and the contracting officer to ensure an independent and unbiased certification. The requisition and the bona fide needs certifier do not need to be organizationally detached. The bona fide needs certifier may retain the role of the requisitioner, if desired.
