2. Definitions and Acronyms

2.1. Definitions

2.1.1. Contractor: A supplier or vendor awarded a contract to provide specific supplies or service to the Government. The term used in this contract refers to the prime.

2.1.2. Contracting Officer (KO): A person duly appointed with the authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings on behalf of the Government.

The KO is the only individual who can legally bind the Government.

2.1.3. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): An individual designated in writing by the KO to perform specific contract administration functions. The KO has the overall responsibility to ensure that all requirements of law and regulation are followed for this contract. However, as the KO’s representative, the COR is delegated the authority to monitor compliance and performance of the Contractor and its employees under this contract. The COR will attempt to resolve compliance or performance issues with the Contractor but, failing resolution, will report them to the KO. A letter of designation issued to the COR, a copy of which is sent to the Contractor, states the responsibilities and limitations of the COR, especially with regard to changes in cost or price, estimates, or delivery dates.

Other than the KO, the COR is the only Government employee who may direct the flow of technical matters between the Government and the Contractor. Therefore, while the COR can and must make technical decisions, the COR shall not take any action unless it is clearly authorized by the COR designation letter or by terms of this contract. This individual does NOT have the authority to change the terms and conditions of the contract.

2.1.4. Defective Service: A service output that does not meet the standard of performance associated with the PWS.
