a. JAM is the PIEE module used to initiate, review, approve, store, and terminate required delegations of procurement authority and/or appointments. As appropriate, JAM GPC appointments result in issuance of not only GPC Delegation and/or Appointment letters, but also limited-scope SF 1402 Certificate of Appointment (commonly referred to as a Warrant) and DD Form 577 Appointment/Termination Record – Authorized Signature (commonly referred to as a Certifying Officer Appointment). Personnel delegated the proper authority role identified in Table 3-1 can terminate the following appointments in PIEE and JAM.

b. JAM is an application within PIEE that is mandated by DoD for use by GPC program participants. The Army is not required to issue or retain paper copies of appointments issued using JAM. The DPC Joint Appointment Module (JAM) GPC Role Descriptions Guide provides tables that identify GPC JAM roles and special designation authority types.
