Public Participation in Procurement Policymaking Act of 1984 - Amends the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act to require the head of each Federal agency proposing to issue a procurement policy, regulation, procedure, or form: (1) to solicit and consider the views of all interested parties on such proposal; and (2) if such proposal would have any effect beyond the agency's internal operating procedures or on the costs or contract administration activities of contractors, to publish in the Federal Register a notice describing the proposal and to provide a public comment period of at least 30, and preferably 60, days. Authorizes an agency head to waive such notice requirement and institute a proposal temporarily when compliance with such requirement would be impracticable, if the agency head publishes notice of the temporary policy, procedure, regulation, or form in the Federal Register and provides a 60-day public comment period. Allows the agency head to issue the final policy, procedure, regulation, or form after considering the comments received.
