3-2. Joint Appointment Module (JAM)

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.
