201.602-2 Responsibilities
(S-90) Policy
(1) The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is an authorized representative of the DISA contracting officer who assists with the technical monitoring and/or administration of a contract. The COR is the technical/administrative liaison between the contractor and the contracting officer.
(2) CORs are the only approved functional titles for individuals performing the designated duties and responsibilities under this subpart in support of DISA contract management. Regardless of previous titles used, if an individual is performing the functions of a COR in support of a DISA contract, their appropriate functional title is DISA COR (primary or alternate). Contracting officers shall only use these titles (COR) in their designation letters.
(3) The title Task Monitor is no longer valid because the title conflicts with policies and instructions within DFARS 201.602 and PGI 201.602-2. Therefore, the new task order technical monitor will be called Task Order COR.
(4) A Technical Representative (TR) is distinctly different from a COR. A TR is not authorized to perform contract administration functions and is generally located at a contractor's facility to provide program technical oversight. The acquisition manager (see DARS Part 7 for definition) appoints the TR. See DFARS 242.74 for TR procedures.
(S-91) Qualifications: All prospective DISA and non-DISA CORs shall be identified in writing along with their appropriate training, qualifications, experience and other considerations in a COR Nomination letter prepared by the requirements office and forwarded to the appropriate DISA contracting officer. All CORs shall possess the training and technical skills required to monitor and administer the specific, assigned duties.
(S-92) Training: DISA CORs are responsible for taking all training indicated in their respective Individual Development Plans (IDP), COR nomination and designation letters. All training, whether designated as required, optional, alternative, or supplemental, must be identified to the DISA contracting officer and approved by the supervisor before inclusion in an IDP. The DISA contracting officer will review all completed initial training identified in the COR Nomination letter and provide the individual with a written notice of acceptability in the form of an electronic mail (E-mail) message. Individuals are advised to keep the notice of acceptability as part of their COR files.
All candidate and active CORs shall refer to the approved Department of Defense (DoD) Contracting Officer Representative Tracking Tool (CORT Tool) available at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/eb/cor.html and https://arc.army.mil/DODCOR/ in conjunction with development of their IDPs. Supervisors of personnel nominated for or designated as DISA CORs will ensure discussion and support of mandatory, optional, alternative, and supplemental initial and annual refresher training requirements with applicable personnel and the appropriate DISA contracting officer as part of the annual performance plan review and Individual Development Plan (IDP) preparation and approval. Before designation and subsequently as required, the contracting officer must receive and review copies of all certifications of all completed training. No individual should assume or commence COR functional responsibilities in support of any DISA contract unless they have completed the required training, provided the required certifications, and received and acknowledged in writing their COR designation letter from the DISA contracting officer.
The following DISA mandatory, alternative or optional initial and annual refresher COR training requirements incorporate greater flexibility for satisfactory completion and certified qualification by DISA personnel.

(S-93) Nomination
(1) A DISA or non-DISA requirements office shall nominate individuals as candidate CORs, as appropriate. Supervisors are also encouraged to identify highly motivated individuals, with strong standards of ethical conduct, and a willingness to accept responsibility as potential COR candidates. Nomination of military personnel as DISA CORs is permitted. If a military member is to be considered as a DISA COR, they are subject to the same qualification, training, certification, designation, and performance documentation requirements as their civilian counterparts, using appropriate military documentation formats for training records and performance review. Supervisors of military personnel designated as CORs should review the DISA mandatory civilian performance standard and follow similar criteria for evaluating military personnel COR performance regarding DISA contract administration and management.
(2) The requirements office shall provide the DISA contracting officer the COR nomination as soon as possible; but not later than thirty (30) days prior to the contract or task order award.
(3) Requirements offices shall not send written nominations unless the nominee is qualified (or will be qualified prior to appointment) in accordance with this DARS subpart. The written nomination shall identify a primary COR and outline the nominee's technical qualifications, experience, and completed training information or state that the nomination is subject to the completion of training identified in the nomination letter.
(4) Requirements offices may contact the applicable DISA contracting officer to obtain a copy of the approved sample COR nomination letter format, a copy of the mandatory DISA COR performance standard or review the COR Deskbook located at http://www.ditco.disa.mil/hq/deskbooks.asp.
(S-94) Designation
(1) The contracting officer shall designate a COR in writing upon appropriate review of the written nomination from the requirements (i.e., customer) office, and the completion and satisfactory review and acceptance of all required initial training and certification requirements. The authority to designate CORs shall not be further delegated.
(2) Before designation, the contracting officer shall check the nomination to ensure that the COR meets the requirements of this subpart. If anticipating a COR designation, the request for proposal, solicitation and contract shall include the DFARS clause 252.201-7000, Contracting Officer's Representative. If anticipating a separate designation for each individual task order, the request for proposal for each individual task order must include the DFARS COR clause.
(3) The contracting officer's COR designation letter must identify the information required in DFARS 201.602-2(2)(v).
(4) COR shall post feedback pertaining to significant events concerning contract performance into the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and notify the Contracting Officer of the significant events.
(5) Normally, only one COR is needed to monitor or administer a contract and/or a task order. The Contracting Officer should ensure that adequate COR oversight is available in relation to the contract size type and complexity.
(6) DISA contracting officers shall use the most current, approved DISA sample COR nomination or designation letters in effect and modify as appropriate. Contracting officers may need to conduct periodic reviews and issue new or updated COR designation letters to keep designations current with FAR, DFARS, or DARS policy changes.
NOTE: Task Monitor Designations issued prior to October 1, 2011 will remain in effect until the task order expires or until the Task Monitor is terminated. No new Task Monitor Designations will be issued after October 1, 2011.
(7) Upon designation, the contracting officer shall provide the original designation letter to the COR and send copies to the following:
(i) Contractor
(ii) Contract Administration Office
(iii) COR's Supervisor
(8) Designation letters must include an acknowledgement page with signature blocks for the COR and for the COR's supervisor, as well as unique identification codes per instructions in the acknowledgement format.
(i) The COR signature acknowledges full understanding of the designated duties, responsibilities, and limitations, to include completion of all training requirements, registration in the CORT tool and maintain successful performance. If anything regarding the assigned duties and responsibilities is unclear at the time of designation or thereafter, it is the COR's responsibility to seek clarification from the contracting officer. Further, the COR acknowledges that they are a key partner, along with their supervisor, and the contracting officer in improving the quality of DISA contract administration and management through better qualified CORs and successful COR performance. The COR shall not sign the designation letter or assume their contract support functional responsibilities until they have completed all of the required initial training under this subpart. In the event of a reissued or updated designation letter, the COR shall not sign the designation letter until they have satisfactorily completed and documented the required annual refresher training.
(ii) The supervisor's signature acknowledges full understanding, support for, and approval of the named individual's COR duties, responsibilities, and limitations. For DISA CORs, the supervisor's signature also indicates their agreement to address COR duties and responsibilities in job descriptions, and ensure that the DISA mandatory COR critical element and performance standard is included in the individual's Performance Work Plan, in accordance with DARS 201.602-2 (S-92), and Chapter 430 of the DISA Instruction 220-15-55, DISA Civilian Personnel Management Manual revision of September 2008 for civilian personnel, and as appropriately documented for military personnel, following the guidance of the civilian personnel performance standard. The mandatory critical element #10 Performance Standard for DISA CORs is:
Critical element #10 - COR. Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Assignment (Mandatory for CORs)
Demonstrates an appropriate understanding of Federal Government and DoD contracting and procurement policies, practices, and processes. Consistently complies with the duties, responsibilities, and limitations outlined in the COR designation letter. Performs effective and proactive technical monitoring and administrative oversight of contractor's work and the quality of deliverables, cost, and schedule. Keeps the contracting officer informed of progress and problems. Meets the DARS Subpart 1.6 training requirements.
(iii) The COR and supervisor's signatures on the designation letter also acknowledges that they, along with requirements offices, contracting officers, and agency manpower, personnel and security management personnel are part of a strategic partnership to improve DISA COR qualifications and successful contract management performance outcomes.
(iv) Once the COR and their supervisor acknowledge (sign) the designation letter, the COR returns the acknowledgement page to the contracting officer. The COR places the original designation letter with the signed and dated acknowledgements in the COR files, provides a copy to their supervisor, and retains a copy for their personal files. The contracting officer shall ensure that a copy of all COR designation letters are included in the DISA contract file.
(S-95) COR Duties, Performance Review, and Removal. [NOTE: Also applies to non-DISA CORs, as deemed appropriate by the contracting officer.]
(1) To ensure accountability and promote effective COR qualifications, certifications, and successful performance outcomes, DISA COR supervisors shall adequately address COR duties in position descriptions.
(2) Supervisors of DISA COR personnel shall apply Critical Element #10 and the mandatory COR Performance Standard on the DISA Performance Work Plan and Appraisal (DISA Form 208A) relating to the specific duties and responsibilities of their COR assigned personnel. During the mid-year review and the annual performance evaluation of personnel assigned COR responsibilities, supervisors shall obtain performance review input from the appropriate DISA contracting officer.
(3) The contracting officer shall check the administration and performance of the COR on a continual basis. Negative results shall be documented in the contract file and a copy sent to the COR's supervisor. If the contracting officer determines that a COR is not performing in a satisfactory manner regarding contract administration, contract management or task order management, the contracting officer may remove the COR, revoke their designation in writing, and request that the requirements office nominate a suitable replacement COR.
(4) Only Government employees may be designated and carry out COR duties. A non-Government employee shall not perform duties designated for COR performance nor shall any non-Government employee help in the execution of COR duties.
(5) If designated DISA or non-DISA CORs leave DISA or change positions and no longer perform the designated duties as detailed in their designation letters, the individual COR and the requirements office shall notify the contracting officer to arrange for an appropriately designated replacement. Notification must be far enough in advance to allow time for--
(i) contracting officers to check qualifications, experience and ensure the certified completion of required training, and written designation of a new COR (at least 30 days, possibly 60 days to complete required training), and
(ii) a transition period, if needed. [CAUTION: Lack of COR assistance without replacement may have a negative impact on contract management performance.]
(6) CORs are required to keep well-documented contract and task files relating to actions taken in accordance with their designated duties (DFARS 201.602-2). Upon contract completion, CORs will contact the contracting officer and obtain directions to provide the COR's contract file, or provide a signed statement annotating that all authorized supplies and/or services were inspected and accepted, and the contract file is complete. If the contracting officer only needs the completion notice, the COR will destroy or otherwise appropriately dispose of the COR file according to the contracting officer's instructions (See DFARS 204.805 for requirements for disposing of contact records that may contain nonpublic agency information and/or contract are proprietary information).
(7) Upon receipt of the COR completion statement, contracting officers shall incorporate the completion statement into the official contract file.
(S-96) COR Limited Authority.
COR duties are set forth in their designation letters. CORs do not have contracting officer authority. In addition to the limitations stated in DFARS 201.602-2, the COR shall not perform the following duties -
(1) Do not sign your designation letter unless you have taken the required training and fully understand the scope of your designation.
(2) Do not accept a designation as a COR if there is an apparent conflict of interest.
(3) Do not appoint, delegate, or re-delegate COR duties/responsibilities to another individual. Only a Contracting Officer may designate a COR and delegate duties/responsibilities to a COR.
(4) Do not exceed your authority as expressed (and limited) in your designation letter.
(5) Do not authorize a contractor to start work on a new contract, order or modification.
(6) Do not obligate, in any way, the payment of money by the Government.
(7) Do not approve any invoices/vouchers for payment under Cost-Reimbursement, Time-and-Material, and Labor Hour contracts.
(8) Do not verify any claimed costs and approve any interim payment requests.
(9) Do not make a final decision on any matter that would be subject to appeal under the Disputes clause of the contract.
(10) Do not interfere with the contractor's ability to continue to do his work.
(11) Do not approve work that is not in conformance with the contract or order.
(12) Do not make a final determination of contractor liability for loss or damage to Government property.
(13) Do not knowingly permit the contractor to proceed with work outside the scope of the contract or order.
(14) Do not grant changes to the period of performance.
(15) Do not discuss new proposed effort, encourage, or knowingly allow the contractor to perform additional effort on an existing contract or order.
(16) Do not hold discussions with offerors unless authorized by, or in the presence of, the contracting officer.
(17) Do not discuss source selection sensitive information with anyone who does not have a need to know.
(18) Do not direct or instruct the contractor to change the work or delivery schedule during contract or order performance without contracting officer authorization and/or change order.
(19) Do not divulge any sensitive or proprietary information.
(20) Do not tell the contractor how to carry out his/her responsibilities within any facet (technical, management, cost, or provisions) of the contract or order.
(21) Do not create an employer-employee relationship with contractor personnel through supervisory or administrative practices.
(22) Do not become involved in contractor's business affairs not covered in the contract or order. This includes disputes with subcontractors, interpersonal conflict among contractor employees and suspected contractor employee misdeeds.
(23) Do not commit the equipment, supplies, or personnel of the contractor for use by others.
(24) Do not delay or cause delay of any correspondence or reports requiring immediate response from the contractor, the contracting officer, or other Government officials.
(25) Do not offer advice to the contractor that may adversely affect contract or order performance, compromise the rights of the Government, provide the basis for a constructive change or impact any pending or future contractor officer determination as to fault or negligence.
(26) Do not accept special favors or gratuities from the contractor.
If a COR exceeds their delegated authority, this may constitute an unauthorized commitment or cause a claim against the Government. An unauthorized commitment is an agreement that is not binding on the Government solely because the representative who made it lacked the authority to enter into that agreement. It may just as easily be caused by non-action when action is required. For example, if a maintenance contract lapses without a renewal and the Government conducts business as usual with the vendor, the COR's failure to ensure the maintenance contract is renewed is by default, an unauthorized commitment. An unauthorized commitment is a personal liability of the person who makes it, if and until the Government ratifies that action. Ratification is the approval of an unauthorized commitment by an official possessing the designated authority. Further information on unauthorized commitments and ratifications may be found at FAR 1.602-3 and DARS 1.602-3. Additional guidance and practical examples of unauthorized commitments, and appropriate ratification request package content and format requirements may be obtained from the Procurement Directorate's (PLD) Quality Branch, (PL22).
(S-97) The COR Information will be populated and maintained in the Department of Defense Contracting Officer Representative Tracking (CORT) Tool. The tool can be found at https://arc.army.mil/DoDCOR/.
(1) All DISA HCOs shall ensure that all DISA contracting officers
(i) ensure that all DISA (and non-DISA) CORs are designated in writing only after completion and certification of all required initial training and are registered in the CORT Tool;
(ii) complete appropriate training and enter required data for all COR designated personnel in the Procurement Desktop-Defense (PD2) system per the PD2 Data Entry Guide; and
(2) The COR is required to register in the CORT Tool, https://arc.army.mil/DoDCOR/. The COR shall keep their COR records update within the tool. PL22 will be conducting random audits to make sure the CORs registered in the tool are active and current.
(3) Consequences. If COR data entry and reporting requirements are not met, deficiencies will be reported to the contracting officer's supervisor and could result in a performance review, counseling, and other corrective measures and remedies.
