This publication establishes guidance and procedures for the organization and operation of installation contracting units. Source of Contracting Authority and responsibility to contract is vested in the Secretary of Defense as established by the National Security Act of 1947, the Armed Services Procurement Act of 1947. This authority flows through the Secretary of the Air Force, to the Assistant Secretary (Acquisition), to the Deputy Assistant Secretary (Contracting) and Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (Contracting) as the Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA). Installation contracting may be accomplished by contracting, enterprise sourcing, specialized contracting squadrons, operational contracting offices, or contracting divisions.

5 publications in 5 other communities depend on this one, which Contracting owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If AFI 64-102 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
