The COR(s) has a written designation memorandum on file with the procurement office. This memorandum, as directed by DFARs 252.201-7000(b), specifies the extent of the COR's authority to act on behalf of the contracting officer. This authority cannot be re-delegated to any other person. The alternate COR acts in behalf of the primary COR in absence of the primary COR and is appointed through a separate memorandum.

The primary responsibilities of CORs are:

1) Technical Liaison. Oversees the contractor's technical effort to ensure that performance is in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. Is the primary interface between the contractor and the contracting officer on matters pertaining to the contractor's technical performance. Answers technical questions, furnishes technical instruction and guidance to the contractor relating to contract specifications, and any other instructions of a technical nature necessary to perform the work as specified in the contract. CORs are not to tell the Contractor how to perform, but only what is required of a technical nature. If doubt exists as to whether information to be furnished falls within the scope of the contract, the COR is to coordinate action with the contracting officer prior to transmitting the information to the Contractor. Promptly responds to contracting officer queries for technical information and directs the contractor to submit requests for change, deviation or waiver in writing to the contracting officer. Keeps the contracting officer informed regarding communications with the contractor in order to prevent possible misunderstandings or situations that could affect contract terms and conditions and become the basis for future claims against the Government.

2) Monitoring contractor performance. Ensures delivery schedules are adhered to and provides quality assurance.

Provides status to the contracting officer and other program personnel to ensure compliance with the technical requirements of the contract. If performance is not proceeding satisfactorily, or if problems are anticipated, promptly notifies the contracting officer and may provide a recommended technical course of correction action. Reviews and approves progress reports, technical reports, financial/management reports and other items requiring approval.

Notifies the contracting officer if such reports or items should be rejected, stating the basis for rejection.

3) Technical Evaluation of Contractor Proposal. Evaluates contractor proposals for modifications and provides a written technical evaluation, to include price or cost elements, to the contracting officer.

4) Reviewing and Approving Payments and Acceptance. Reviews invoices and progress payments for accuracy and appropriateness and reports any discrepancies and provides concurrence (or non-concurrence) to the Contracting Officer. Approves payments and accepts work on the appropriate forms for services performed or supplies delivered.

5) Administration of Government Property. Submits to the contracting officer and property specialist a written evaluation of the disposition of any material/property furnished by the Government that is accountable to the contract.

6) Security. Coordinates all security requirements of the contract with the contractor and the agency security office, to include DD254s and contractor access to NGA networks. Ensures AIS accounts of departing NGA contractor on-site personnel are cancelled expeditiously. Keeps track of any classified documents or data provided and ensures return or destruction upon completion of the contract.

7) Maintenance of Files. Keeps a file of all records related to the contract to include, but not limited to, the contract, e-mail correspondence, formal written correspondence, reports, receiving and acceptance reports/forms, technical evaluations, trip reports, meeting notes, status reports, past performance reports, government property reports and closeout records.

8) Administration of On-Site contractor personnel information. Maintains information on contractors, prime and subs, performing on-site at NGA facilities. Coordinates with the contractors and the Human Resource Office (HR) all contractor data changes, to include arrival and departure, names, physical location(s), NGA organization code of office responsible for contractor-occupied-space, and employer name, address and phone. Approves badging of contractors upon contractor completion and submittal of Contractor Data Input Record Form to HR and a standardized NGA non-disclosure statement.

CORs shall not direct the contractor in any manner that would be of the type of supervision or control that converts an individual who is an independent Contractor (such as a contractor employee) into a Government employee.

Notwithstanding the delegated duties listed herein, the COR does not possess the authority of a contracting officer and, therefore, shall not alter the terms and conditions of the contract in any way, to include any commitments or changes that will affect cost, price, quality, quantity, delivery, or any other term or condition of the contract. The contracting officer is the only official with the authority to enter into or modify contractual agreements or commitments. Unauthorized acts could result in personal liability.

The duties and responsibilities set forth herein are not intended to be all-inclusive. The contracting officer may delegate additional functions as deemed necessary.

COR appointment and termination on a specific contract shall be effective upon contract/order award or execution of a modification to the contract by the contracting officer.
