Defense Priorities and Allocation System 1
Defense Priorities and Allocation System 1 : The goals of the DPAS are to: (a) assure the timely availability of industrial resources to meet current national defense requirements and (b) provide a framework for rapid industrial expansion in case of a national emergency. The authority for DPAS, which is administered by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Export Administration, extends from Title I of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (DPA). While the DPAS is designed to be largely self-executing, Special Priorities Assistance (SPA) may be provided, including: (a) timely delivery of items needed to fill priority rated defense contracts, (b) granting priority rating authority, and (c) resolving production and delivery conflicts between rated defense contracts.
