NAVFAC P-300 Management of Transportation Equipment

2.3 Budgeting
2.3.1 Investment. COMNAVFACENGCOM is responsible for investment budgeting for
the Navy-wide procurement of Civil Engineering Support Equipment (CESE) except at
Defense Business Operations Fund (DBOF) activities, which provide funds through the
Capital Purchase Program (CPP).
For NCFs/SOUs, CESO analyzes equipment requirements, recommends proper
allowances, and coordinates all CESE procurement. NAVFACENGCOM programs and
budgets for initial outfitting of each approved CESE allowance, procurement of new
allowance items, and CESE replacements. The following factors are used to determine the
number and types of CESE to be procured: projected requirements (BARR), procurement
lead time, budget constraints, and priorities levied by NAVFACENGCOM, Fleet
Commanders, and certain other second echelon Commanders.
2.3.2 Expense. Claimants are responsible for budgeting operation and maintenance
costs of transportation equipment.
2.4 Material Manager. COMNAVFACENGCOM has been assigned responsibility as
the centralized single material manager for the Navy for all automotive vehicles,
construction, and railway equipment procured by the Navy (less U. S. Marine Corps).
Consolidated procurement is accomplished by the designated procuring agencies.
COMNAVFACENGCOM is the inventory manager for 2C cognizance material, which
includes CESE, and Civil Engineer End Items (CEEI). The Civil Engineer Support Office
(CESO) provides centralized management for 2C material. In addition to CESE and CEEI,
there are a variety of items also considered 2C Cog items including, but not limited to,
decontamination units and automatic chemical agent alarms, chemical agent detector kits
and refills afloat and ashore; material and appliances for defense ashore against chemical,
biological, and radiological warfare, except instruments for detection and measurement of
radioactivity; and all industrial equipment (typically, non-portable ship equipment that costs
more than $1,000).
2.4.1 Prior Approval for Procurement. CESE will not be procured or otherwise
acquired for Navy ownership by any activity, office or command without prior approval of
COMNAVFACENGCOM. The purchase of passenger carrying motor vehicles (sedans,
station wagons, buses, and ambulances) for use by the Government is controlled by law.
Annually, Congress (through appropriation acts) specifically authorizes the quantity of
passenger carrying vehicles to be acquired, and establishes a maximum unit cost for
sedans and station wagons. Law enforcement sedans are included in the quantity of
passenger-carrying vehicles authorized by Congress, but have a separate statutory price
limitation.
2.4.2 Transfers of Equipment by Shore Activities. All equipment transfers shall be
authorized and coordinated by the cognizant TEMC.
