CC-202  Establishment of Need for Contingency Contracting Officers (CCO)

The contingency contracting officer (CCO) is the key individual providing contracting support to contingency operations. Contracting activities shall review contingency taskings and designate a sufficient number of qualified individuals to perform those contingency contracting taskings. If the contracting office requires more manpower to support OPLANs than can be reasonably provided without degrading home station functions, then the chief of the contracting office shall notify the cognizant MAJCOM SCO of the shortfall.
