Meaning of deviation criteria
Limits established beyond which a Program Manager may not trade-off Cost, schedule, or performance without Authorization from the Milestone Decision Authority. Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) thresholds represent these parameters. Deviation criteria or thresholds for Phase I, Demonstration and Validation, are the cost, schedule or performance thresholds negotiated by the Program Manager with the Milestone Decision Authority and documented in the APB. Deviation thresholds for Acquisition Category I programs for Phase II and Phase III are specified by DoD Instruction 5000.2. Currently, deviation thresholds for cost increases (over Base Year Dollars) are (by funding category): 15% RDT&E, 5 % Procurement, 15% Average Unit Procurement Cost, 15% MILCON. For schedule, the threshold is delay greater than 180 days. For performance, the threshold is any parameter beyond the threshold. (See Acquisition Life Cycle and Appropriations for definitions of Phases and funding categories.)
