Part 3 Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) Contingency Contracting Test Questions

Part 3, OCONUS Contingency Contracting Test Questions, is to be completed separately from Parts 2 and 4.  This part is to be used by Office Chiefs/Directors that are deployed into a theatre of operations and are supporting contingency missions. The term "contingency contracting" means contracting support provided in response to a declared contingency operation in accordance with 10 USC 101(a)(13) (see also FAR Subpart 2.1, Definitions). The support may be provided in a mature or immature operational environment, and may be long term or short term. These test questions are to be used to ensure that the Office Chiefs/Directors are following the internal controls established within Part 3.  The test questions will be provided to the Office Chief/Director at the outset of the deployment. Each Office Chief/Director will complete and submit Part 3 to his/her respective PARC at the midpoint during the Office Chief/Director's tour. The PARC will provide feedback to the Office Chief/Director to ensure that the internal controls in place are being followed.  Prior to redeployment, the Office Chief/Director will complete and submit a final checklist to the PARC.  The final checklist will be retained in the continuity book to serve as a baseline for the next Office Chief/Director. In addition, the checklist(s) information will be included in the PARC's annual assurance statement to ensure compliance with internal controls.
