Q U E ST I O N 1
1. On 1 September 2011 the command at New Sands Missile Range purchases
an x-ray machine for the installation hospital, which arrives and is accepted
on 15 September 2011. The x-ray machine is not needed until August of
2012, when an increased number of Soldiers arrive due to BRAC. Assuming
there is no applicable delivery or production lead time exception (as this is a
commercial item and readily available off the shelf), has an ADA violation
been committed and is it correctable?
, No ADA violation has been committed.
As the bona fide need is in 2012, an ADA violation has been committed
but it is correctable.
As the bona fide need is in 2012, an ADA violation has been committed,
and is not correctable since proper funds, FY 2012 O&M (or procurement,
depending on the value) were not available at the time of obligation.
Although the bona fide need is in 2012, there is no ADA violation because
the command was engaged in advanced planning, and was smartly
purchasing an item ahead of the expected need and perhaps even getting
a better price.

Q U E ST I O N 4
1. The Director of Research and Development (DRD) at the Orange Sands
Missile Range comes to your office late on a Friday afternoon. He just learned
that his office used an RDT&E appropriation to fund the purchase of a
Lifterrator, a hydraulic lift system capable of lifting extremely heavy objects.
Since the Lifterrator is a capital item costing more than the
investment/expense threshold, however, its purchase should have been
funded with a Procurement appropriation. The DRD wants to know what is
necessary to avoid an Antideficiency Act violation for violating 31 U.S.C. §
1301(a) (the Purpose Statute). Please select the best answer.
Proper funds must have been available at the time of the erroneous
obligation.
Proper funds must have been available when the agency discovered, and
corrected the erroneous obligation.
Proper funds must have been available continuously between the time of
the erroneous obligation and correction of the purpose violation.
