Revision 02

Effective Date: 09/15/2022

Nominator(s), check ALL boxes below to acknowledge the requirements.

If the nominated individual(s) is/are not currently FAC-COR certified at the required Level, I will ensure they complete the required training prior to the commencement of their COR duties.

This/These individual(s) is/are currently serving as the COR for ___________ (insert number) other contracts. If they are assigned other contracts, I considered their workload and ability to effectively monitor assigned contracts and complete all COR duties prior to nominating them.

I considered their current COR and non-COR workload, the size/complexity of this contract, and time required to oversee this contract. I affirm this/these individual(s) can effectively serve as the COR(s) on this contract.

I considered using a full-time COR to oversee multiple contracts. I understand a full-time COR might be especially helpful for clinical contracts (including medical sharing contracts).

I acknowledge that the Network Contracting Office will make the final determination on who to appoint as the COR(s). I encourage the Contracting Officer to contact me if they believe the proposed COR(s) should not serve as COR on this contract due to workload or other concerns.

3. Fund Control Point (FCP) Official to certify the invoices on this contract will be: 1072

If someone other than a nominated COR is identified, the service acknowledges the responsibility of the FCP Official to work with the COR to ensure that all invoices are validated against contract terms before they are certified. Please note for construction and architect-engineer contracts, unless delegated, the Contracting Officer will approve and certify all invoices IAW FAR clauses 52.232-

5 and 52.232-10, respectively.
