Which provision identifies the dollar criteria used to determine the category level of a potential program?

• A. Acquisition Categories (ACAT) I-IV
• B. Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP)
• C. Materiel Development Decision (MDD)
• D. Title 10, Section 2430

Answer: (D)

Determining category levels uses the statutory dollar thresholds defined in Title 10, Section 2430. This provision sets the monetary criteria that classify a program into the appropriate ACAT level, which then drives the oversight and management requirements for that program. The other items describe what the categories are or related process steps rather than the source of the dollar criteria: ACATs are the category levels themselves, the Basis of Issue Plan outlines production quantities, and the Materiel Development Decision is an early program decision point.
